Children learn by watching what their parents say and do, and as such, the way you behave, treat other people, treat yourself, and pursue your personal and professional goals sets an example for your children. Keeping this in mind, it’s important that you think about the values you want to pass along to your kids and the behaviors you want them to emulate. If you want kind children, treat others with empathy and respect; if you want healthy kids, involve them in grocery shopping and healthy meal prep; if education and community involvement is something you want to pass along, volunteer as a family and help those less fortunate. Working together in this way promotes family bonding.
