Yes, we are not creating machines to act how we program them to... we are molding them to be kind and generous, gracious and disciplined. We do this by setting the example in our lives first.

Children are PEOPLE and should be valued and respected as such! What are we teaching them about how to treat people when we don't consider their wants/opinions, when we talk down to them, when we do nothing but give commands all day? It really frustrates me. It's no wonder our children aren't practicing kindness when you look at the modeling we give them sometimes.Crystal @ Serving Joyfullyhttp://www.servingjoyfully.comnoreply@blogger.com
