- Free to play more, enjoy family and receive rewards
- Free to be respected, appreciated and, most of all, loved
"Why should I care?" Your child might ask.
You might answer, 'To get what you want. What do you want?"
You might hear, "I want toys, video games, music CD's and computer games. I want to have fun,"
You might ask, "Is that what you want most?" They might tell you, "No. I want to feel loved."
'That's why you should care," You might say. "So you can feel the love that you want most. Then you can stay out of time out and be free to have fun sharing good things with your friends."
