As the mother of six children ages 2-16, I have to agree with Durango-basically, your children act how you act, so act with the golden rule in mind. Also, Trisa's advise to read To Train up a Child is excellent.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I don't know if this has been discussed or not, but from a daughter's perspective, when you make a mistake with your child, apologize. My mom always apologizes and my dad never does. I know that my mom is not prefect and tries hard to be a good example and that she realizes when she messes up. When you don't apologize, your children may not know that you feel you have made a mistake. It often comes accross that you don't think you do anything wrong and threfore don't have to apologize. I heard a woman say, "Don't ever apologize to your child and don't tell them when things go wrong." I don't think this is a good aproach.
Also, by telling your children when something happens and then explaing it, it is an opportunity for yourchild to learn how to respond to life's difficulties. Then, they can also help be part of the solution by praying with you.

Revisit your childhood, and never let yourself forget what it is like to be a child. Always try to see things from your child's point of view first, and respect your child's feelings and opinions. Only after you have done that, try to temper that child-like point of view with your greater experience and perspective in order to better guide their journey through childhood.

Be a good example, no matter how much you disipline, lecture, scream and hollar if you are not living the way you are teaching you are not training them how to be good adults or good people only that they have to be good while under your athoritity.
Train a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not turn from it.
