Those great attributes your kids have?? Great chance they came from YOU! But those little bad habits they have…they’re probably from you, too. SO, before you jump all over your kids for being messy, unorganized, forgetful, disrespectful, snarky, dramatic, etc…consider where they’re picking up on those little undesirable qualities (single parents – NO, they are not always from the ex).
It’s never too late to drop a bad habit &, in the process, show your children what accountability looks like. Pray about it – out loud – with your children. Teach them it’s okay to ask for God’s help in an area of their life where they’re having trouble by asking for it yourself. If you do life well, the chances of them doing life well will increase exponentially.
