Thank you for posting this. I have copied it as well.

Copied and saved :) Very good advice!"Think first, act second." A variation of this would be "Think first, decide second" -- mentioned by someone I know as the best parenting advice she ever received.
You don't have to know all the answers at once. Tell your child you need to think about it before making a decision. It's much better than making a hasty decision and then being wishy-washy. Or making knee-jerk decisions without even really listening to the question (eg "Can I...?" "No!").
Thanks for sharing the link.
