Are You Respectful?

Be aware of how you speak to your spouse and your children. Are you respectful? Are you, as a parent, building a culture of respect in your home? When your children disrespect you or others, self-examine yourself. Have they learned it from you? Children often mirror what we say and how we behave.

The other day my six-year-old daughter said to her sisters, “Get over here right now!” I realized that she was saying what I normally say and in the same harsh tone that I often use.
