But far too many of us parents let TV and the culture do the teaching for us. Look where that gets us. The sheer amount of violence kids today see on TV is staggering. There would be an immediate improvement in the homes across our world if the TV was unplugged or thrown out for ever or at least used selectively as a teaching tool. Setting a good example is perhaps our best way to teach.
Children are smart.
They can see through us. They will more often do what we do than just what we say. Like father, like son has a lot of truth in it. Who I am each and everyday makes a far greater impact on my children than I care to admit. Be who you want your children to be.
