Modelling the type of behviour you want to see in your kids is so stinkin POWERFUL!!!!
Compare it to those times you've opened your mouth and been *slightly* horrified because it was your mother talking. 😱
When it comes to your own kids, what you do you want to be saying when you're the voice in their head?
