How Kids Are Perfect Mirrors of their Parents
Take a look at your “self”
Kids are perfect mirrors of their parents. They are always watching, always listening. Mostly, kids' “bad” behavior comes from watching parents when they are angry. Kids pick up on the little things we do. They pick up on our good qualities, but the glaring characteristics are the ones we wish we didn’t portray. If you want to fix kids’ behavior, first, take a look in the mirror and fix your “self.”
If you anger easily, or kick something, or throw something in anger, they are sure to notice. Kids don’t subscribe to the do as I say, not as I do, way of thinking. They do what they see. Their behaviors, combined with similar genetic qualities, may have you looking at a miniature version of your “self.”
People have kids for all kinds of reasons:
- Some have nurturing qualities that make them excellent parents
- Some never wanted children, but end up with kids anyway
- Some want children terribly, but can’t have them, so they foster or adopt
- Some want kids, then realize they aren’t cut out for parenting
Parenting is a tough job.
How you parent is, to a certain degree, a result of who you are and what kind of background you come…
