We send our kids to enrichment classes to groom them into smart and intellectual individuals who hopefully will succeed in life.
But what make one successful in life are really the good traits of character and virtues; which are shaped with the parents as role models.
We want to teach them empathy, compassion and generiosity. We want them to have a strong conscience to tell right from wrong. We want them to see value in honesty and upholding one's integrity.
Parents should take a good look in the mirror and see those things in themselves that they don't want to see in their kids, and try to change into things they want to see. For our kids, we need to strive to become better persons so that we can teach them right.
"Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you." ~~Robert Fulghum
