A child is imaginative - be creative. A child is emotional - be able to comfort, to guide, to sympathize. A child is difficult - be understanding. A child is challenging - be up for it. A child follows - lead. A child can lead - be led. A child is needy - be present. A child is persistent - be supportive. A child is talkative - be all ears. A child is annoying and clingy and chatty and loud - be annoying and clingy and chatty and loud. A child is quiet - be listening. A child is talented - be aware. A child is obstinate - be steady. A child is unafraid - be alert. A child is a storyteller and an actor (a doctor, a lawyer, a dog, a cat, an alien, a whale, a monkey, a princess, a warrior, a cop, a robber, a mother, a father, a snail) - be an audience. A child is impossible - be a believer. A child is original - be open-minded.
A child knows - be yourself.
