no accident

Kids repeat what you say. Often in public to people who wouldn't understand the context
Kids often look a bit like you and a bit like their mum/dad. Then they pull a face/expression and you just see yourself/relative/your own parents.


Parents tend not to be perfect. Kids tend to grow up and try and improve on what their parents did and often end up repeating a lot of what their parents did.

Parents tend to drive their kids crazy but kids tend to be attracted to someone who has some similarities to their parents.

What happens when parents aren't there for their kids?
What happens when parents haven't dealt with their own issues?
What happens when the kids have to work it out for themselves?
What happens when parents feel guilty about doing the right thing?
What happens when parents feel guilty about doing the wrong thing, but don't change what they are doing?

Kids are very resilient but ...
Parents have a huge opportunity so ...

Kids only learn manners, how to say sorry, and how to share if parents encourage and model using manners, saying sorry, and sharing.

There is only one perfect parent. God teaches us to ask for help, ask for forgiveness, and share what we've got. The rest of us are just doing the best we can, with the time that we have, so that our kids will grow up to be happy.

Every child is a blessing from God - especially mine!

Cheers
