Setting a good example in a consistent manner is the biggest challenge to me as a parent.
Before children, I was disorganized and indecisive. To make it through the day, I am required to be organized and decisive with just about everything. That was a big jump for me in my development as a better person.
Patience, acceptance and being solution-orientated are more virtues that I strive for everyday. I know that these are only the tip of the iceberg in PD, but progress is progress.
You teach best what you most need to learn." -- Richard David Bach
I realize that I'm not just improving myself for my sake but also teaching my children.
