Learning to be honest for the sake of the kids.

There are lots of prices to be paid because we are parents. Some of us grew up in an environment were we learnt so many bad things from our parents. So, as adults we decide to set the pace and let the kids follow.

What a great job @elizabeths14 and @marybellrg. I love the topic that says- Teaching our children to be responsible

Children are wonderful gifts from God and we have alot to do while raising them up. The truth is that the mind of a child is very clean and ready to grab anything around to swallow. We can hy ourselves raise our children to be thieves just because we did some things bad before them.

While I was growing up my mom told alot of lies in my presence and i also grow up with same life style. I remember how when the people she was not expecting to see maybe because they are hiding something from them comes to the house my mom will tell me to lie to them about something and I will do with all my heart. As I grew up i became an expert with that kind of life. But I had to stop because I realized that it was not the best life for me.

The image belongs to me.

So, looking back to my past life I decided not to tell a lie before my children not even because I don't want them to lie, but because is not the right thing to do. I also made sure to teach them good morals because I know that it will help them in life. Sometimes when someone else told a lie before my kids, that person will be corrected by my kids because I have inculcated that habit in them.

I strongly believe that our lives have a way of influencing our kids to do things in a certain way. What so ever The kids see in us , they copy it at once. If they see a good thing, they will mimic and if the see the bad things, they will also mimc. So, I do my best to to show them the right way of life.
