Immersion 5: Parenting

Getting what you want quickly and easily.

1. Model the behaviors you seek. Want more respect? Show more respect.
2. Grow up as they do. The world is changing. They'll show you how.
3. Do one-to-ones. I.e spend time individually with them. Regularly. Just hanging out: that's when real conversations occur.
4. Be interested.
5. Be interesting.
6. Give unconditional love.
7. Remind them that society sells a dream 'be like everyone else and you'll be successful'.
8. Actually, if they notice, it's those who are different who are really successful. Whether carpenter, accountant or rock-artist.
9. Support them in their dreams, emotionally.
10. Hug them. Regularly.
