Parents, your children are your mirror. If you don’t like what you see in them, start by checking yourself.
Today, I want us to pause for a moment and reflect on some deep things.
I’m not here to judge anyone…. just to help us think.
I have a few questions for you, and I’d like you to really reflect on them.
When you’re home but tell your kids to say you’re not, what are you teaching them about honesty?
When you constantly shout at your children but expect them to speak respectfully to others, what message are you sending about communication?
When you tell your child to always tell the truth, yet they watch you l!e to avoid tr❍uble, what lesson are they truly learning?
When your child sees you disrespect your spouse, what kind of relationships do you think they’ll grow up to build?
When you preach that “education is important,” but they never see you reading, learning, or growing, what do you think they believe?
When you tell your child to control their △nger, but you expl❍de at every little thing, what are you really modeling?
When your child sees you g❍ssip about neighbors or relatives, what are you teaching them about trust and loyalty?
When you say “money isn’t everything,” but they watch you treat people differently based on wealth, what do they learn about human value?
When you tell your kids to pray but they never see you pray, what do they understand about faith and consistency?
When you demand respect but never show them respect, what are you teaching them about authority and love?
When you tell them to be honest, but you hide your mistakes from them, what do they learn about integrity?
Dear parents, children learn more from what they see than from what they hear.
You can’t teach what you don’t live, and you can’t expect what you don’t reflect.
So before you correct your child, look in the mirror.. they are a reflection of you.
Our children may not always listen to what we say, but they never fail to imitate what we do. Be the lesson you want them to learn.
If this teaching blesses you and you’d like to keep drinking from my cup of wisdom, go ahead and 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐞.
