The greatest opportunity to influence the world positively is through the children you raise. Can you provide your children with the kind of healthy upbringing that will make you a proud parent? YES, YOU CAN!* Spend at least 15 minutes each day talking to your children, to find out what's on their minds. * Lead by example. Communicate your values through your actions. * Pay close to attention to any signs of trouble and seek professional help when appropriate. * Apologize when you've hurt them and admit when you're wrong. * Reinforce positive behavior by praising it honestly. * Don't ignore your own welfare or that of your spouse, by getting totally absorbed in the lives of your children. |
