Parenting – How My Actions and Attitude Affect My Children

September 21, 2018

Model Behavior

I have noticed in the past and in recent weeks that my attitude has been less than exceptional and for good reason most of the time. However, when my attitude is not in check, I notice my children model the behavior that I have been displaying in front of them. I have also noticed that when I have a positive attitude and peaceful demeanor, my children are more reserved and calm (for the most part).

The key to maintaining a balance between both areas (home and public) is to behave the same all of the time. Model the behavior you want your child to display. It is not just “Do as I say and not as I do” philosophy anymore. My children will quickly remind me if I forget to behave. Example: In my house saying “Shut-up” is considered a bad word. Yes, I know we trained them that way. We have taught our children to be more respectful and say words like: be quiet, stop talking, hush, stop making noise, close your mouth… (you get the point). I like to have peace and quiet in the house so I can hear myself think, does this happen all of the time? NO! As parents, we all know when we have hit that breaking point and we have already used all of the safe words – but sometimes, children don’t seem to respond unless you use that oh so bad one, then you have their attention!

My point is, sometimes we have our moments when we didn’t handle a situation correctly, didn’t respond properly, we acted out of character, didn’t exercise self-control, participated in gossip or drama, said words not worth repeating-degrading or improper language, especially when driving (don’t judge – we have all been there!) and guess who’s watching our behavior? Our children! They see all our imperfections whether we try to hide them or not. They see us in our true selves, because we often let our guard down at home and perhaps some parents behave quite differently in public depending on the situation.

I repeat – Model the behavior you want your child to display. It is not just “Do as I say and not as I do” philosophy anymore.

Entering 2021 with an “Intentional” mindset!


Entering 2021 with an “Intentional” mindset!

Here are a few tips to be more mindful and intentional this year!

This is my word of the year and it is so important to be a good steward over everything we have been entrusted with! (Work in progress!) 😀

So how will you spend your year?

But be ye doers of the word; and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. James 1:22

Hope 

I heard a song that reminded me of all the times I stood in my bathroom praying and crying out to God asking Him to change our situation and bless us with a new house. We looked for a solid 10 years new and old, short sale, foreclosures, for sale by owner, etc. We saw it all. But it wasn’t the right time. Other people’s destiny is tied into yours (another post on that later).

And as I am typing this in my new office, in my new home that I had been believing and praying to God for - for literally almost 20 years!

As tears are running down my face and stinging my eyes, these are tears of thanks and praise and pure gratefulness.

I shared this because I need you to know that there are blessings on the other side. Keep hoping for the future!

I remember where we were and how blessed we are now, by the grace and mercy and favor of God!

If I know anything for sure, it’s that God is a miracle worker and blessing giver! Keep praying, keep trusting! 

That thing you are believing God for - keep believing. Don’t stop now!

Storms come and go, trials and circumstances won’t last always. Even if it takes 20 years to see the manifestation of those prayers - are you willing to wait and go the distance without wavering, without caving in, even when “it looks” like nothing is happening. Will you stay faithful and keep trusting no matter what?

The blessings are on the other side - keep going! I’m rooting for you! Testimony loading...
