I really really like this. I think these corrections are so much more mature. A child won’t respond to the original statements - like “never have a reason to self-harm or have thoughts of suicide.” The newer version is something to which a teenager would actually respond. And the one about sex? I will make sure that whether or not my child is promiscuous, s/he will know about protection and safe sex from a young age. This is the best that we can do, because, as mothers, our rights end there. Our child has a body of their own and will do with it what s/he chooses. But with a good background on safe sex, not to mention other issues, at least I can be comfortable with the fact that my child will have good judgement.
