Love them unconditionally

I think that when they say there going to be there, to actually be there. Never ever ignore them, my parents do and know I tend to ignore children not realizing it. I think they could also teach them valuable lessons, if they aren't taught manners, they will never use them in later life.

Not seeing death, but seeing brutality. Seeing someone scream for dear life, while being saw and shot to death. Family n friends death aren't the biggest, seeing strangers die is.

Teach them the difference between fact and opinion.

Allow them to be their own person. Make sure they are given the chance to be as open-minded, loving and compassionate as they can be. Allow them to use their imagination. Love them for who they are, not who you want them to be.

Champion their inner child, who is their soul, and which is memorable experiences of loving, being loved, security, joy, peace, freedom, wisdom, faithfulness, truthfulness, learning to be accountable and earn, and so on, and healing their childishness, such as envy, greed, anger, pride, jealousy, etc.

Give to them of your time, understanding and love. Introduce them to the Great Father explaining his great merits and charge of the world ... I think I am tired ...signing off ...

Teach them not to fear and to think clearly for themselves.

Let them be who they want to be....don't smother them.
