Mine would be: Love yourself. Respect yourself. Because if you don't, no one else will.
What would your advice be?
That is a very good and solid piece of advice to pass to a child. The piece of advice I would give would be "Stay true to yourself". In other words, don't let other people tell you that there are things wrong with you that you need to change. There's too much negativity in the world imo.
Never Give Up! Because anything is possible if you keep working at it.
Aw, you guys can come knock some sense into my kids anytime you want.
Thanks!
If we're going by my most frequent mommyism lately, it's something along the lines of "YOU control YOU. No one else. YOU. Blaming someone else for your actions is pointless and wrong."
If I say it enough, maybe it'll sink in...in another decade....
