Parents4-HPledgeI pledge my HEAD to give my child the information I can, to help him/her see things clearly, and to make wise decisions.

I pledge my HEART to encourage and support my child no matter whether he/she has successes or disappointments.

I pledge my HANDS to help my child's club; if I cannot be a lead-er, I can help in many equally im-portant ways.

I pledge my Health to keep my child strong and well for a better world through 4-H, for my child's club, our community, our country

and our world.

4-H is a family affair. Parents are role models for their children and those of others. Remember to be a good sport so our children will be too!
