You create the child you want.
If you want them to be kind, show kindness.
If you want them to be smart, teach them.
If you want them to be caring, care for them.
If you want them to be a good friend, show them how you are a good friend.
Everything you pour into them they will absorb.
Every kind word, every compliment, how you describe them; all becomes their inner voice.
How you view them is how they will view themselves.
And how you treat them, is how they will treat themselves.
They will grow into everything you plant into them.
You create the child you want.
