It is not so much what you say as what YOU DO.
In your child’s early years, you have the greatest opportunity to establish the proper relationship because they are always with you.
Of course, you must begin with constant demonstrations of love.
Those demonstrations of love must be for your spouse and your child.
Kids feel secure and safe in a home with parents who love one another.
You must be involved in their young life so there is a connection that will be important in the turbulent teens.
Set rules that help your child develop good habits of behavior.
Throughout childhood and into the teen years, know what kind of influence their friends are.
They may have friends who come from very permissive, dysfunctional families.
Be consistent in your parenting during those tough challenges.
If not today, when?
