8 Ways to be a Good Role Model for Kids

Being a Good Parent is Being a Good Role Model

Guest post by Kids ‘R’ Kids DFW

Being a good role model to your children will go a long way in their development. Here are some practical tips to help love and influence your child.

  • Be Predictable: Children want to know the rules and in a world full of contradictions and change, a parent should be predictable.
  • Forgive a lot: If a child makes a mistake, they need to know what was expected. Parents’ position should be clear and a few simple rules, firmly enforced, are more effective than many rules loosely enforced.

Life Lessons: Pearls of Wisdom from Grandma

Grandmother and Grandson - Life Lessons from Grandmother

Life Lessons Learned from your Grandmother

Every child needs a Grandmother’s heart and a Grandmother’s wisdom. When I picture my grandmother, I see her as a jolly, plump old woman with wonderfully full arms that held me when I cried and a calm, gentle voice that sang me to sleep. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I came to value all of her little “life lessons” – the beauty of cut fresh flowers, the elegance of using linen napkins and china daily and so many suggestions on how to live life fully and joyously.

Now, as a grandmother myself, I hope to instill in my grandchildren my own life lessons – how to nourish your soul, falling in and out of love, living with dignity and grace, and most importantly, enjoying the journey.

Enjoy the Journey. Goals are important but not at the expense of your happiness. Maintain a balance between getting to where you want to go and being happy as you get there.
