Improve your own language and habits. Strive for a higher degree of ethics, honesty, patriotism, caring. Sometimes failures are good lessons. Develop interests and occasions that build your feeling of self-worth. Remember that the parenting years pass quickly, so start now to prepare your mind for the next interesting stage of your life.
Life is long, so enjoy being a parent now.
