]]> Parent Tapes for My Spirited ChildMy Mom calls them “Parent Tapes”. These are the things that we say over and over again to our kids. The things they will remember.

I look forward to the adventures that my spirited son will set out on. But, I want to make sure that he has the right messages in his head when he has to make a decision or encounters a problem.

Below are some of the messages that I hope he remembers. Some of them I got from my Mom and Dad’s parent tapes. Some of them I picked up from other people in my life who inspired me.

  • Be good to people.
  • Take responsibility.
  • Ask questions.
  • Being positive makes the world a better place.
  • Learn everything anyone will teach you.
  • Fail fast. Fail forward.
  • Nothing is free, but working for it can be rewarding.
  • There is real and there is pretend. Either one is fine as long as you know which one it is.
  • You can’t hit a home run if you don’t swing.
  • Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people.
  • Home really is where you hang your hat.
  • Sometimes you just have to click on it to see what happens. (From my cousin. :-))
