Be an example to your children

I see so many children acting up and getting into so much trouble. Most of it is what they have learned from their parents or parent acting up. I see it all the time in peoples homes, at the doctors etc, in the car.
I see parents showing their bad mood to the fullest or cursing or having road rage and cursing with their children right there taking it all in. And then the parents get mad when the children act out like them and they get yelled out and spanked.
One person I know yells at her children constantly for them being exactly like she is! I have talked to her and given her advice to no avail about having patience with your child and only showing them love and even discipline with love.
I'm tired of seeing children suffer at the hands of their parents, I guess because as my children told me, not everyone can be like I was. If I was in a bad mood they never knew it. Even when I was mad they never knew it. I never raised my voice or my hand to them. That's why I got respect.
This is cliche but it's true they are only a child for a little while and adults forever
Put your children above everything else they are the most important thing in your life you made them now love them!
I am the way I am because I was like my parents they were wonderful and I never knew when the didn't have money or fought they kept that to themselves.
To many parents today put their children in adult situations and that's so sad.
Love your children let them be who they are and remember they are following your example
Peace and love ceci
