The Little Carons....er, little sponges!You've heard it said, "Character is more caught than taught." It's true.
Teaching my children the hows and whys of obedience, attentiveness, gratefulness, virtue, etc. is one thing. But to SHOW them how to live it from the heart is where the true character training begins. I'm finding if I want my children to act or respond a certain way to life's circumstances, I-me-mom must first be the example.
My attitude = their attitude
My words = their words
My actions = their actions
My patience = their patience
The Bible says - "Train yourself to be godly" (1 Timothy 4:7). Could this be an important key to successfully training my children in good character? Eureka!
