Five Tips for Success with Children
1. "It is a remarkable fact, a scientific fact, that the healthiest children come from the happiest mothers." -- L. Ron Hubbard
Recommendation: Do all you can to help women be happy during their pregnancies.
2. "'My child,' is often the parent's fond manner of alluding to his offspring. But that isn't 'my child.' That is Bobby-a person in his own right." -- L. Ron Hubbard
Recommendation: Do not own a child. Just as you own and control yourself, let the child own and control himself or herself.
3. "Children who have received too large a bonus for being children are those who progress the least satisfactorily." -- L. Ron Hubbard
Recommendation: Perhaps you know a young adult who still acts like a kid? If you admire and reward a child too much for being a child, he or she sees no reason to grow up and take responsibility in life. Instead, admire and reward children (and those who act like children) for behaving like adults.
4. "Forbidding children to work and, particularly, forbidding teenagers to make their own way in the world and earn their own money, creates a family difficulty so that it becomes almost impossible to raise a family. And it creates, as well, and particularly, a state of mind in the teenager that 'the world does not want him' and he has already lost his game before he has begun it." "It is highly supportive of this fact that our greatest citizens worked, usually, when they were quite young." -- L. Ron Hubbard
Recommendation: Encourage children of all ages to work. Ensure they earn the praise or money they deserve.
5. "When children become unimportant to a society, that society has forfeited its future." -- L. Ron Hubbard
Recommendation: Raise the priority, in your mind, of the importance of all children. As a parent, give your children the time they need from you every day. If you do not have children, help and support parents to raise their children.
Your future, and the future of our society, depend on it!
