A Parent Challenge

Seems there are so many things to teach the kids...and all at the "most valuable years" to learning and teaching....a person could get stressed thinking about it all...
Not only the ABC's and 123's.....
Things like:
Don't talk to strangers...but do not be paranoid of people you do not know.
Memorize your phone number...but do not get lost
Memorize your address and teach them how to use 911....but everything will be alright
Be independent...but listen to me and do what I say please.
We honest...but keep somethings to yourself....
Balancing playtime, creative time, TV time and yes even improving hand eye coordination by playing video games...
Don't squash any creative by telling them the way you do it...
Teach them about people who have nothing....but never let them want for anything important...
Be kind and helpful...but know your personal limits...

Seems there are countless things to be aware of...how you talk, how you act toward others, how you react to tough situations, how you vent your frustration.....your kids are your mirror...its a lot of pressure!
