Welcome, New Year!

Touch the future. You parents do.
Are you conscious of it or is it just by default?

I've recently read a book by Alfie Kohn called Unconditional Parenting. In the beginning pages he asks parents to list the qualities they would like to see in their children as adults. I put the book down and got out a piece of paper to make my list.

Will you help me on this one?
I want my children to grow up and be:
Happy
Healthy
Intelligent
Compassionate
Hard working
Creative

This is a teaser list. I want to know what you are thinking.
Put your thoughts on as "comments". I'd like to make a big beautiful list and post it here.
Peace,
Yvette
