Your Child's Best Teacher...Is You

Your child’s best teacher…is you!

If you’re a parent you are a role model. Whether you want to be or not, whether you think you know what you are doing or not—whether you relinquish that responsibility or not you are the role model for your kid and he will do exactly as you do or the exact opposite of what you do. You can choose to take charge of how and what you are teaching your child.

Have you ever heard yourself say, ”He never does what I say.” Well, that is because he does what you do not what you say. How about this one, “How can he be so much like his uncle when they rarely see one another?”

Consider that you treat people certain ways based upon past interactions or what you deem to be the expected behavior in the moment. You may not even be aware you do this. May not? You definitely are not aware or you would be living consciously making conscious choices!

The way you treat people is what determines their interpretations of who you are. They interact with you in a way they deem appropriate—which is likely to be different from how they interact with Joe Shmoe.

I believe my son is so much like my brother, despite their infrequent interactions, because as a kid I (unconsciously) observed how my mom interacted with my brother. I bet if someone could record and describe my interactions with my son and my mom’s interactions with my brother during his youth—I bet they would be very very similar. Yet, on the surface, I am not like my mom. Our parenting styles are quite opposite one another.

You either do what your parents do or you do the exact opposite.

What if you could KNOW what you are doing? Do you think that information would make a difference in your life and the life of your family? You can. I can show you what you ARE doing and what you COULD BE doing instead.
