Grandma\u2019s messages were stronger in my heart than the peer pressure around me at the time.<\/p>\n<p>What messages did Grandma give me?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You are important.<\/li>\n<li>I am here for you.<\/li>\n<li>Yes, I do trust you.<\/li>\n<li>You must follow the rules now and when you become an adult.<\/li>\n<li>I will always listen to you.<\/li>\n<li>You will be successful.<\/li>\n<li>I believe in you!<\/li>\n<li>If you need anything, just ask. I will do my best to make sure your needs are met.<\/li>\n<li>I love you with all of my heart!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every single child deserves every chance to become successful.\u00a0 You can give your child or a child you know the chance to become successful if only you give him these messages.<\/p>\n<p>To give a child these messages, actively listen to him. Spend time together and show him or her you care every chance you get.\u00a0 Also, teach him he must follow the rules every day of his life, because doing so creates safe boundaries around us.<\/p>\n<p>If every child got these messages, there would be less violence and more healthy adults in the world.\u00a0 Most people who are violent, who use illegal drugs, and do not follow the laws probably did not get these messages.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s all try to create a better world by sending every child these messages!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Let the\u00a0<a
