rule 052

Teach her about the presidents, something unique from each one. If you teach it to her now, it will only make the lessons at school stick that much more. 


rule 050

Teach her how to read a map and help her gain her sense of direction. Start when she is little and make the connection with a certain thing she can see all over in your area & tell her just that one direction. It should stick. Also, teach her all the anagrams for NESW- never eat soggy waffles, never eat salty watermelon, etc. 

rule 051

No matter how long Dwyane Wade, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, etc. are in the league, never let her think they were better than Michael Jordan. Also, explain to her that she will hear all kinds of stories about how Michael Jordan got cut in high school. Explain the actuality of those stories. If you don't know them, look them up.

rule 049

Teach her to read a map, and her North, East, West, and South directions. It will be infinitely


rule 048

Allow her to eat unhealthy now and then. She deserves it. She will thank you for the part your dinners played in her health, but for now you should probably just expect a "YES PLEASE!!!!" when you say you are going to McDonalds.

rule 047

Use animals to help her get in touch with her emotions. She may tell you close to everything, but she might still be holding something back. It isn't you, you're doing fine. Animals have an incredible sense of reading people's emotions. Knowing that she didn't have to even speak, and she's understood, can really give her a clear head.

rule 046

Support what she wants to do with her life, even if it's not what you thought she was going to do or what you wanted her to. She grew up with you allowing her to dream and find a passion in something that led her here. She's probably modeling that from what she observed you doing her whole life.
