Child's request to parents:

My hands are small. Please don't expect perfection whenever I make a bed, draw a picture, or throw a ball.
My eyes have not seen the world as yours have. Please let me explore it at my own level without unnecessary restrictions.
Housework will always be there, but I will be little only for a short time. Please take time to explain about this wonderful world.
My feelings are tender. Please be sensitive to my needs. Treat me as you would like to be treated.
I am a special gift from God. Treasure me as God intended, holding me accountable for my actions, giving me guidelines to live by, and disciplining me in a loving manner.
I need your encouragement to grow, so go easy on the criticism. Try to correct my behavior without criticizing me as a person.
Give me the freedom to make decisions. Permit me to fail, so I can learn from my mistakes. Then I'll be prepared to make the kind of decisions life requires of me as an adult.
Don't do jobs over that I have done. This makes me feel that my efforts don't quite measure up to your expectations. I know it's hard, but please don't compare me with my brother or sister.
Please set a good example by taking me to temple and religious education class regularly. I enjoy learning more about God.

Harini ji, a very nice post that shows a child being so naive yet curious to learn a lot from this world through its request to parents. Thanks for such a nice story of child's request. Please keep sharing many more such nice posts.
