Have you ever noticed how your children have picked up your habits? I recently observed a couple of my daughters standing with their hands on their hips. Where do you think they got that? Hmm …. How about that tendency to hide away in a bedroom when the world has gotten to be a bit much? Lately I’ve been noticing some definite “Prichard traits” that are surfacing in my children. We read; we laugh; we tease and use sarcasm far too often; we work hard and help one another.
Raising children is an incredible delight and responsibility. Not only can I share some of my favorite things about life, but I can be a bad example and lead them into some not-so-beneficial habits.
This afternoon, I took my son with me to a coffee shop for some reading and writing. Now I’m wondering … is this a good thing or a bad habit? It’s definitely a "Momma Prichard thing".
What are you showing your kids about life?
