Don't Give Up
Making sure our kids grow up to be responsible, self-driven, respectful, honest, hard-working, and kind humans can be exhausting. But as exhausting as it is, the time to set the groundwork is now. Kids depend on their parents and family to show them by leading by example, guiding them, and teaching them. Children don't grow up to be amazing adults on their own. So whatever we do, we can't give up on them. The time will come when they will thank you for being there for them every step of the way. (Rachel Hicks)
Model Good Behavior
"Consider how you interact with others, even when your child isn’t watching. Do you say “Thank you” to the checkout clerk at the market? Do you steer clear of gossip about neighbors or co-workers? Do you use a friendly tone when addressing waiters? It goes without saying that you directly influence how your children will be. If you want to raise a good child, conduct yourself in the way you want your child to act". (Katherine Lee is a parenting writer and a former editor at Parenting and Working Mother magazines).
