Are You a Good Role Model?
One of the most powerful teaching tools parents have is modeling the behavior they want their children to learn. We can’t take the attitude of “do as I say, not as I do”.
We need to model honesty if we want our children to be honest. If they see us lying to anyone then we are giving them the license to do the same.
We need to listen with respect and treat our children’s views seriously. Even though they may be little and have not had the years of experience, we can learn alot from them if we really listen.
Finally, we need to be a good role model where nutrition is concerned. Children need proper nutrition not just those easy prepared meals that have empty calories and little nutrition in them. Children will model after you mom and dad! So, walk where you wish them to walk!!!
