We can pass our bad behavior onto our children. How many times have you heard a parent routinely use the F word in front of very young children? Make statements like “I had to cuss them out”.Our children watch the way we interact with other people and then they copy that behavior. It should not come as a surprise if at some point and time we hear our words repeated from their lips.If we cannot control ourselves then how can we control and be a positive influence in the lives of our children.Many of us have a “do as I say do and not as I do” attitude. But is this a realistic expectation.The mixed signals will chip away at your credibility with the child because they see the contradiction.There was a time when adults felt the need to discuss sensitive issues would ask the children to leave the room. Today, this may not always be the case. Infact, parents bass guitar lessons may find themselves having to explain the behavior of others.How often do we forget to say the simple words “I’m sorry”? It is not uncommon these days to be scoffed at for doing so.Eventhough, this may not be happening in your home, here is just a short list of bad manners and behavior we expose our children to either at home, from peers or environmental influences.Rudeness* Bumping into others without saying excuse me. * Accepting courtesies from others without saying thankyouAbuse and Aggressive Behavior* Parents abusing each other verbally or physically* Verbal or threatening physical abuse to a teacher that gives negative feedback about your child* Bullying and terrorizing people to get what you want.Defense and Indifference to Inappropriate Behavior* Making statements like “I’m grown I do what I want to do”.* Laughing at cruelty to others and pets.
