Raising children

Its up to me to show my children how to grow up to be respectable adults, if im showing them a good role model that will help, making sure that outside influences are there also but making sure im there always for them to discuss anything they arent sure about, talking to my children about everything making sure they know everything they need to about what is right and wrong but making sure that they know even if they make a mistae that im there to help them through it after all we all learn from our mistakes dont we. No parent is perfect we cant be we all have bad days where we want to tear our hair out but i think as long as you respect your children as the individual people they are and show them the best way to behave you cant go far wrong, and always always keep talking to them they have to know they can come to you i think.

It sounds to me that He already has. My parents were distant and not really cold but I didn't feel loved as a child so I made sure that I not only showed my children that I love them, I made sure that I told them...and still tell them often. I have also tried to teach by example and I think I've done a pretty good job in that department, too. God bless you too.
