#MummyGivingAuthoritywithLove, to make sure good manners and discipline are not a sticking point in your house; model the good values you’re teaching your children.
Immature, spoilt, disrespectful, dishonest, disruptive behaviours from
parents have a way of making children behave in an awful manner they wouldn’t,
normally.
You need to be a conscious role model, so you’re not misleading your
children.
When you tell children, “This is how I behave because I’m an adult, and
this is how you should behave because you’re still young,” you’re telling them
you don’t place value on the ethics you teach them. This increases their
chances of going astray and being irresponsible.
Children see their parents as role models and try to follow in their
footsteps. Thus, you can’t be as your children and raise them well. You have to
be of a strong and better character to raise well-rounded children, to be well
rewarded for it.
Exercise: How to eliminate your
bad manners
Are there any bad manners you’re currently struggling with that's confusing the children? Review the
list. Which are the two or three that you regularly exhibit?
Write out the positive alternative ‘good manners’ on a small card,
screen saver or somewhere where you’d see it regularly.
Practice these new good manners daily.
Pick a particular day of the week for reviewing your progress, and maintain
this momentum for three weeks.
This process will mature you, and allow you to connect with your
children and instilling good morals in them will be effortless.
