KUSHO UKUTHINI?
Abazali, abangane nabaqashi bayabathanda abantu abathembekile ngoba bayayilandela imithetho ebekiwe, bagcina izithembiso futhi bakhuluma iqiniso njalo.
KUNGANI KUBALULEKILE?
Izikhathi eziningi inkululeko oyitholayo ibangelwa izinga lokwethenjwa ozakhele lona esikhathini esedlule.
“Into engakusiza ukuze abazali bakho bakwethembe, ukubonisa ngezenzo zakho ukuthi ukhulile ngisho nalapho ungekho phambi kwabo.”—USarahi.

Uma ufuna ukuthenjwa, lokhu okulandelayo kungakusiza.
Khuluma iqiniso. Ukuqamba amanga kungenza abantu bangakwethembi. Ngakolunye uhlangothi uma uvuma amaphutha akho, abantu bangakwethemba.
“Kulula ukukhuluma iqiniso uma ingekho into embi oyenzile. Ukukhuluma iqiniso ngisho nalapho ukwenza kanjalo kungakufaka enkingeni, kungenza abantu bakwethembe.”—UCaiman.

“Abazali bami bayaqaphela lapho ngenza imisebenzi yasendlini ngaphandle kokulandelelwa. Lokho kubenza bangethembe kakhulu.”—USarah.

“Abazali bakho nabanye ngeke bakwethembe ngokuthi wenze isenzo esisodwa nje esibonisa ukuthi uthembekile. Kodwa uma uqhubeka ubonisa ukukhula, bayokwethemba ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.”—UBrandon.
