Parenting

I was on the phone doing some research of my book, talking with a well-known psychologist about raising children. "What do you believe," I asked him, "is the most effective tool we have to teach appropriate behavior?"
"What truly impacts behavior," he replied, "is this whole issue of modeling.We learn what people teach us, and a lot of that is circumstantial teaching.Give parents these three rules: Example example, example."
The psychologist commented on the influence that we have, as parents."The parent doesn't have to do it all. But they can make sure the environment they are immersing the kid in reinforces the same values they have: Christian values, honestly, integrity, fairness, generosity....Also, if you've got your kids hanging around other kids, kids like you want your kids to be, then I think that you are in much better shape."
