The Power of a Parent’s Influence

Whether you realize it or not, your children are watching you.

Do you like what they’re seeing?

As parents, we have a responsibility to act with care. So below are a series of questions to reflect upon how you may be influencing your children–in good ways and in not so good ways…

• Are you quick to lose your temper?
• When is the last time you showed affection to your spouse in front of your kids?
• Do you treat others with respect or disdain?
• Are you quick to serve around the house?
• What sort of language do you use when you’re angry?
• Do you spend more time checking emails or checking how your child’s day was?
• Do you use your words to build others up or tear others down?
• How often do you thank your spouse for what they do?
