1. Life is to be lived now.

2. Trust between child and adult is essential.

3. Competence makes a difference.

4. Time is an ally.

5. Self-control can be taught.

6. The cognitive competence of children and adolescents can be considerably enhanced.

7. Feelings should be nurtured and shared.

8. The group is very important to young people.

9. Ceremony and ritual give order, stability, and confidence.

10. The body is the armature of the self.

11. Communities are important for children and students.

In growing up, a child should know some joy in each day.
