Think about what is REALLY important and keep that always in the forefront of your interactions with your children. What values do you hope to pass on to them? You can't "pass on" something you don't exemplify yourself.
Treat them the way you want them to treat others. Do you want respect? Be respectful.
Do you want responsibility from them? Be responsible. Think of how you look to them, from their perspective. Do you order them around? Is that respectful? Do you say, "I'll be just a minute" and then take 20 more minutes talking to a friend while the children wait? Is that responsible? |
Focus more on your own behavior than on theirs. It'll pay off bigger.—Pam Sorooshian
