Be a good role Model to your children...

Well the day is over and i thought i'd write a blog from my desk here at work. It's funny when I spoke to my friends about my weekend they tell me that i do so much for my children and that i'm such a great Dad. In truth i just do the best i can and i always tell the children that!

Anyway. Why am i writing this! Well i want you to think how important it is for you to be a good role model.

Be aware that they are watching your actions and so many times we see examples of children who are influenced by the actions of their parents! A healthy emotional and positive outlook creates stability and well being and your children feed of that so be careful!!

So present yourself in a good way, have respect for yourself and others show good manners!
I'm so happy when parents are quick to invite my children back to their house as they know that they are polite well mannered and not disruptive!

Avoid confrontations with your ex in public places or at home. Disagreeing and causing arguments for no reason doesn't help things or creat harmony. Things are challenging enough.

Had to get that out! Let me know your thoughts!
