Being an example to your children |

The best teacher your child will ever have is you as a parent. They spend the first five years primarily with you. I think being an example to your child is the best way to teach them. If you want your child to eat their vegees, eat your vegees, and
sit with them. If you want your child to enjoy reading books, allow them to catch you reading. If you want your child to speak openly with you, then be honest with them. In other words respect your child, as you would like them to respect you.
People say children have no manners. Maybe they haven't been taught. People say children are rude. Maybe adults are rude to them. For an example, when we go shopping, I notice people ignore my children or they push past them instead of saying "Excuse me". I think if we want our children to be polite then we should teach them through example. Treating all people with respect should be foremost in our thoughts, whether they are elderly or infantile.
