The Best Lesson

RememberĀ YOUĀ are your child’s greatest role model!

~Hurt someone’s feeling…it’s okay show your child how you make him or her feel better.
~Feeling disconnected…it’s okay put down your phone and play a board game or read a book.
~In a lie…it’s okay admit your wrongdoing and be honest.
~Find that you are yelling…it’s okay take a break calm down and lower your voice.

The best lesson for a child is to watch someone they love and respect do the ā€œwrongā€ thing, but then make it all right.
