Wow I'm glad my father never thought I was retarded enough to actually need this.
Pro tip : If you raise a child with love and make them feel interesting, you won't have to awkwardly leave them a message stating they are worthy of being considered a full human being. And the values mentioned here are ones that should be part of everyday life. The fact that they are actually listed like some golden memo makes me feel like it isn't already natural for the kid somehow to feel this way about elbows, golf, skin and religion.
Yep, telling. Not writing it down like the ten commands. It should be a part of everyday life and not something you suddendly notice your offspring doesn't know.
Writing helps. I still have a couple of the letters my Dad wrote to me as a kid about what integrity means. I mean, they're in the bottom of my filing cabinet and I pull them out like once a year, but I've got them. Hell, if he'd just said it, four-year-old me wouldn't have remembered a damn thing about it.
Bad letter... About her who can do nothing, and him who must, must, must... School of egoistic princessess. This crazy dad doesnt talk any word about how to be good. He reflects own senses to daughter and decide that her man will be same. What meaning of this letter?
