- Don't spoil me. I know quite well that I ought not to have all I ask for. I'm only testing you.
- Don't be afraid to be firm with me. I prefer it. It makes me feel more secure.
- Don't let me form bad habits. I have to rely on you to detect them in the early stages.
- Don't make me feel smaller than I am. It only makes me behave stupidly big.
- Don't correct me in front of others if you can help it. I'll take much more notice if you talk quietly with me in private.
- Don't make me feel that my mistakes are sins. It upsets my sense of value.
- Don't protect me from consequences. I need to learn the painful way sometimes.
- Don't be too upset when I hate you! It isn't you that I hate, but the power to thwart me
- Don't make to much notice of my small ailments. Sometimes they get me the attention I need.
- Don't nag me. If you do, I shall protect my self by appearing deaf.
- Don't make me rash promises. Remember I feel badly let down when promises are broken.
- Don't forget that I can not explain my self as well as I should like to. That's why I am not always accurate.
- Don't tax my amnesty too much. I am easily frightened into telling lies.
- Don't be inconsistent. That completely confuses me and make me lose faith in you.
- Don't put me off when I ask questions. If you do, you will find that I will stop asking and seek my information elsewhere.
- Don't tell me my fears are silly. They are terribly real and you can do much to reassure me if you try to understand.
- Don't ever suggest that you are perfect or infallible. It gives me too great a shock when I discover that your are neither.
- Don't ever think that it is beneath your dignity to apologize to me. An honest apology makes me feel surprisingly warm toward you.
- Don't forget how quickly I am growing up. It must be very difficult for you to keep pace with me, but try please.
- Don't forget that I love experimenting... I couldn't get on without it, so please put up with it.
- Don't forget that I can thrive not without lots of love, understanding, from you! But this I don't have to mention, do i!
