Children have a right to scream all they want over the decisions their parents make, albeit their parents have the right to confine said screaming to certain areas of their homes. ............................................ |

Because it is the most character-building activity a child can engage in, children have the right to share significantly in the doing of household chores. |

Every child has the right to discover early in life that he isn't the center of the universe (or his family or his parents' lives) that he isn't a big fish in a small pond, that he isn't the Second Coming, and that he's not even-in the total scheme of things-very important at all, no one is, so as to prevent him from becoming an insufferable brat. |

Children have the right to learn to be grateful for what they receive, therefore, they have the right to receive all of what they truly need and very little of what they simply want. |
|
Children have the right to learn early in their lives that obedience to legitimate authority is not optional, that there are consequences for disobedience, and that said consequences are memorable and, therefore, persuasive. |
|
Every child has the right to parents who love him/her enough to make sure he/she enjoys all of the above rights. |
| "Excellent! Insightful! On Target! Challenging! Humorous! Great Content -- Great Speaker! These are some of the words heard following John's presentations. The affirmative head nods and frequent bursts of laughter made it clear he was connecting with people. While someone of national repute, he is extremely genuine, warm and personable and spent considerable time outside of presentations listening and talking with individuals. This event was well worth the time, effort and costs and we are grateful for Mr. Rosemond's coming." |
