Almost unconsciously, in the routines of family living our children adopt from us their basic philosophy of life their style of living, their attitudes about themselves, the world, and other people. It is from us that they develop their likes and dislikes, their ideas about right and wrong, and their concepts of the most important things in life. Not only that, but they learn from us how to express themselves their feelings, fears, needs, desires, and ambitions. If your home is filled with a lack of peace and arguing between parents, your children will begin to exhibit agitation in their lives. Children are like little sponges absorbing everything around them.
Parents are children s first, most effective teachers.
No one has more to do with shaping the lives of our children from babyhood to adulthood that we do. Learn to be a positive example. Contentment must be learned. If we constantly complain about things, it should not surprise us when our children are dissatisfied with what they have. Listen to your children.
