I enjoyed reading this essay. Your mother made so many good points. I like the advice about being kind to family,many families need to hear that. I also like how all the advice is in red,it makes this easier to read and much more interesting. Well done here.

I'm glad you liked the format. I wanted her wisdom to stand out.

That sixth star is fowrap posing something that not only made me pause to think for a moment but for posing questions that will stick with me for much longer than the time it takes to write this review.
Me? I just bristle these days when any telemarketer calls, regardless of what they call me ; )
I will add one corollary to your closing comments, "We are what we pass on to those folks we love more than ourselves." Take care.

Thanks for giving a reason for the exceptioal review. That was my purpose for writing this - to make readers think about the effect of words on children. Hope you don't mind if I added your corollary and gave you credit in the author's note.
