Practice What You Preach

<p>To all you parents out there who are anxious for your children on the eve of boarding school decisions, remember to let your confidence in and love for your child be clear and obvious in your every word and expression. Thin letter or thick, their life success most assuredly does not hang in the balance. </p>

<p>Temper joy with modesty and thoughtfulness. Temper sadness with perspective, affection and resilience.</p>

<p>This is the first of many good news / bad news events. It’s the perfect time to model healthy reactions. </p>

<p>Good luck to one and all.</p>

<p>Very well said Parlabane.</p>

<p>Thank you, Parlabane! That was a much needed reminder.</p>

<p>Well said!</p>

<p>I move that Parlabane change his/her name to ‘Parla bene’ (Italian for… yep – ‘well-spoken’)!</p>
