“I will—
  Encourage.
  Keep communications open at all times.
  Permit person-to-person collect phone calls.
  Let them know they are loved and welcome at
    home, always.
Permit the children to disagree with me, provided
  they do it respectfully. (And I find occasionally
  they are right and I am wrong.)
Make a clear distinction between moral and
  nonmoral issues.
Encourage.”
