Grudges Parents Teach Children To Hold Grudges by Honorable Anne Kass. Ann Kass is a District Judge in the Second Judicial District State of New Mexico.
Most parents know that children learn by watching their parents.
It is also true that children instinctively know that talk is cheap. When a parent says one thing but does the opposite, it is the behavior that the child learns from, not the words. Like all parents, divorced parents want their children to grow up to embrace certain values and behaviors. They want their children to grow up to be kind, courteous and truthful. They also want their children to sustain friendships and family.
