If you want to know how NOT to parent, listen to this guy. Respect should be a two-way street with your children. The way to teach them how to be respectful of other people is by being a good example-- by treating them with respect, even when they're not at their best. Actually, ESPECIALLY when they're not at their best.

If high fives are wrong, we don't want to be right.

I'm still a bit sick, and it has been a big day with father's day here in Australia, so I am resharing this. We can all use this reminder now and then.

Being forced to comply through fear and manipulation is not respect. Kids learn whatever we model. If we want then to be respectful and grateful then we need to model respect and gratitude.

The best thing that you can do for your kids is to work on yourself.

Repost from Nurture Parenting

Parenting is hard because your child is reflecting back at you what you haven’t yet resolved within yourself 😳🥺🥺🥺💜
