These parents only had my sample letter to help them with ideas. I have left them intact, other than names and other personal details. Today, I want to show you some of the letters parents wrote to their kids. ![]() Last week, I wrote about how the kids confused being proud – recognizing and sharing your strengths and achievements – with bragging – being arrogant and full of yourself, and how 12 hours and a letter helped me take them to a different place. Then, I wrote about what happened to the kids when they opened their letters and how hard it was for them to believe they had been genuinely written by their parents. First, I wrote about what happened when I asked the parents to write a letter to their kids. ![]()
