@mimidiamond this is a LOVING, wisdom-packed article! It's impacting truth upon impacting truth! If you are parent and you raise or raised your kids with this attitude, they are getting the best a human parent can give to a child!
I have two children who are adults now! I learned much, mostly from mistakes. I know, from experience, children don't necessarily learn from what we say or even what we do, but rather "how we are", on the "inside" as we "do life" and living!! Are we free or fearful when we do life? Are we kind, tolerant, consistent? Do we mean what we say and say what we mean?
I enjoyed this post!
Children are very sensitive
If you want the best from them, be the best. They will always copy you. Just give them the chance to explore amidst teaching them the necessary things of life.
