"Quick-Tips" for Parents
In "The Seven Habits of Highly Successful Families "author Stephen Covey says, "Children learn the most important lessons not from Power Rangers or even Big Bird, but from a loving family who reads with them, talks to them, works with them, listens to them, and spends happy time with them. When children feel loved, really loved, they thrive!" He asks parents to "Reflect for one moment: What were the most memorable family times in your own life? Suppose you were on your deathbed. Would you really wish you'd spent more time watching TV?"
