Parents: Learn
to love
unconditionally
In order to have a real
sense of self-esteem, kids
need to know that they are
loved and accepted by their
parents no matter what.
When you love your child
unconditionally, you are
saying, "I love you no matter
what you look like, what you
do, how you act or what you
feel or think."
Ways to show
unconditional love to your
child:
Provide plenty of
focused attention and
appropriate physical contact.
Appreciate the
uniqueness of the child even
if the child has little in
common with other family
memDers.
Don't let vour eao aet
wrapped up in your children.
In other words, don't lona for
the Derfect child, but be
satisfied with your child's
successes.
Do whatever necessarv
to encouraae vour children to
believe in themselves. Help
vour kids to become
whatever they want to be
instead of pushing them to
do what you want them to
do.
Remember tha a oarent
is like a mirror. Children see
themselves as you see them.

Fireproof your
Dry summer weather brings
increased danger from wildfire to
homes that interface with forests or
wildlands. Every year since 1985,
more than 550 homes have been
destroyed by wildfires, including
dozens in the Northwest. Many of
these homes could have been saved
had simple precautions been taken
before wildfire struck. The most
effective fire prevention device yet
invented is a FIRESAFE attitude.
While fire insurance might replace
property destroyed in a fire, there is
no insurance available to replace

what she does," says Rebel. She says
working for her she can learn more
than the "textbook stuff she learned
in school. She feels that she really
needs to work with someone. She
goes on to say, "Working here with
Diane we are busy all the time, and
everyone is so nice."
Her prices will be lower than Di's
throughout the summer and will be
the same as Di's in the Fall.
Metz is not sure how long she
plans to stay but she thinks it will be
long-term. She says, "The weather is
awesome, I don't miss the rain at
all." Ruby misses the rain a little bit,
as she has had to get used to the hot
Central Oregon sun.
She has heard that the school is
good. With fewer children in the
classrooms Rebel feels her daughter
will learn more compared to
Newberg, where classroom
enrollment is fifty children. "AH the
kids have been really nice to Ruby."
Ruby was getting a little bored at
Braids & Boots shop until Summer
Recreation started.
Metz says the people in Warm
Springs have been very friendly. "I
don't think I've ever been anyplace
where so many people say hi to you
and are so friendly. In the Valley
everybody is in such a hurry to go
everywhere, common politeness is
gone." She goes on to say that they
went to the restaurant to eat and talked
to about fifteen people who were
strangers. She said that her first week
at Braids and Boots people came in
to see Di's sister or they come in to
just visit and say hi.
