My hands are small. Please don't expect perfection whenever I make a ball,

draw a picture, or throw a boll. My legs are short. slow down so that I can keep up with you.

My eyes have not seen the world as yours have.

Let me explore it safely. Don't restrict me unnecessarily.

Don't do things over for me.

That make me feel that my efforts didn't measure up to your expectations.

I know it's hard, but don't compare me with my prother or my sister.

Give me the freedom to make decisions concerning myself.

Permit me to fail, so that I can learn from my mistakes.

Then someday I'll be prepared to make the decisions life will require of me.
