The Parenting Promise
Be Aware and Care.
Yes, I am stating my intention to be
a more aware and caring parent.
Yes, I am making a commitment to
be aware of my words and actions
and the effect that they have on my child.
Yes, I am willing to be more caring
and compassionate whenever possible.
Use our version!
In the promise, what does "Aware" mean?
To be aware of our parenting is to watch what effect we have
in our communication and in our interactions. To be aware means
to make a choice to "try another way" if what we are saying and
doing isn't working.
To be aware means to make conscious choices for the greater
benefit of all involved.
In the promise, what does "Care" mean?
"Care" means "to take care" in how we speak and how we act so
that we are effective and achieve the most desirable results for
the situation.
"Care" means to take that deep breath before we react in an
inappropriate way; and then ask, "Is this the most effective way
to handle this?" "Care" means to make opportunities to appreciate and be
grateful for our children in order to foster the same within.
