Today, let's dabble in some Self Awareness:
How many of us preach to our children, "Do As I Say, Not as I Do"
Do you find yourself ripping into your child for doing the exact same behaviors you do yourself. Then try to justify it with I'm an adult speech.
Try to take a moment and become aware of how you are acting around your children. Are your manners ok, do you follow the house rules, is your language appropriate at all times, Are you a reader, Are you generally on time or late to things, what are your eating habits. The question is are these things that you want your children to pick up on and one day pass on to their children or do you need to work on them as well. Children of all ages usually learn their behavior from somewhere. Most often from those closest to them.
WHAT ARE YOU TEACHING????
