A couple of things I have learned from almost a quarter century of parenting. Of course this is just my opinion:
- Your kids aren't mini versions of you. They have their own personalities and ways of looking at life. Sometimes our own egos don't let us accept this fact.
- All my attempts at "influencing" or constantly trying to mold kids with little messages and speeches mean nothing. Nobody wants to be told how to think, even those little kids you produced.
- Kids don't care what you say. They watch what you do. Actions are all that matter. Speeches mean nothing.
Indeed, I already find it amazing at how my children are their own people.
