These are our 10 commandments in raising David. We try our very best to practice each but now at his young age, only items 1, 3, 4 & 9 are applicable. As he grows up Jonathan and I should be reinforcing this set of rules. And most of it we will cling onto until we grow old and grey.
1 Thou shall love your child above yourself.
2 Thou shall equip your child with the Word of God
3 Thou shall not spoil your child.
4.Thou shall have quality and quantity time with your child.
5 Thou shall set a good example to your child.
6.Thou shall put premium on your child’s education.
7 Thou shall help your child develop his talents and skills.
8 Thou shall reward your child for his obedience and punish him for his wrongdoings.
9 Thou shall treat any child the way you want others to treat your child.
10 Thou shall teach your child to enjoy life to the fullest.

It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children
do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to
reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself. ~Joyce Maynard
