A Gift of Words for Bryce and Brooke
The Manifesto for Children by E. Paul Torrance
Don’t be afraid to fall in love with something and pursue it with intensity.
Know, understand, take pride in, practice, develop, exploit and enjoy your greatest strengths.
Learn to free yourself from the expectations of others and to walk away from the games they impose on you.
Free yourself to play your own game.
Find a great teacher or mentor who will help you.
Learn the skills of interdependence.
Don’t waste energy trying to be well rounded.
Do what you love and can do well.

Chris;
This is not just a manifesto for children; but for all of us.
