The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself. - Lao-Tzu
How wonderful to be accepted just the way we are. Gentle acceptance is something we can also offer our children. As parents, we sometimes work too hard at trying to shape and mold our children rather than accepting them. When children feel accepted, they are more cooperative and less inclined to frustrate us. When they feel they can be themselves they are more likely to succeed as well.
