Education is not just done at school :)

All day everyday YOU are teaching your children. Intentionally or unintentionally it is happening. I am always telling people, you're children hear everything, I mean EVERYTHING, especially when you don't want them to. Needless to say I too am learning from my own advice. The other day our daughter asked us if we still loved her. We were shocked, horrified and immediately explained that we will always love her. We said to each other why would a little girl this age ask such a question? Then I had my ah ha moment. Matt and I are always teasing each other and say do you still love me? Completely joking and know we love each other. So we don't do that one anymore lesson learned.

As I digress with my own personal story here is the real point of this blog. You are their model? Here are a few things to ask yourself 1. Are you putting God first? 2. Family next? etc we all know how this goes, are you being a responsible/good employee? Do you call in sick when you aren't sick (I am not talking about taking a personal day)? If your are in the checkout line and the checker misses an item do you tell her, or do you convince yourself that company makes enough money I must have earned it. Is it stealing when someone makes a mistake like that and you knowingly except? I say yes!

I have had to go back in a store and pay for the 99 cent box of goldfish that my little was snacking on while we shopped. No, I am not perfect, I just try to think what is this teaching her?

Are you teaching your children to be honest and truthful OR deceitful and liars?
