What Parents Should Never Do
Never speak harshly to a child.
Never use disrespectful names.
Never use profane or vulgar words in the presence of a child.
Do not be so cold and austere as to drive your child from you.
Never misrepresent. If you falsify the child will learn to deceive also.
Never withhold praise when the child deserves it. Commendation is one of the sweetest pleasures of childhood.
Never waken your children before they have completed their natural slumbers in the morning. See that they retire early, and thus have the requisite time for sleep. Children require more sleep than older persons. The time will come soon enough when care and trouble will compel them to waken in the early morning. Let them sleep while they can.
Do not reproach a child for a mistake which was made with a good motive at the time. Freely forgive, wisely counsel, and the child will thus be taught that there is no danger in telling the truth.

Apply these same principles to your wife or husband!
Good advice that will never get old.
Five days a week, year after year after year, I would tell my parents that I had not completed my natural slumbers, but they made me get up and go to school anyway.
