This is such a great quote I wanted to post it again. So many parents now a days could really use this basic advice.
Your children are profoundly shaped by you, and your actions will resonate, for good or ill, throughout the rest of their lives. Be a parent who lives the qualities, characteristics and values you would like your family to emulate. Let your life be a living example of what you want to see in your children.
– Dr. Phil (Chapter 7 Family First)
