You've got to make it a good example for those kids regardless of how much you mess up.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think I've been an incredible example to my kids of what not to do.
If you've got a lot of children, I think you let the other children bring them up more and you just sort of step in and do stuff like every now and again.
Why do I have to be an example for your kid? You be an example for your own kid.
Setting a good example for your children takes all the fun out of middle age.
Kids are a great excuse for you to stop acting like one.
I just want to be a great example to younger kids.
Kids are capable of handling a lot more than you think if you are willing to commit some time.
But you can't show some far off idyllic conception of behavior if you want the kids to come and see the picture. You've got to show what it's really like, and try to reach them on their own grounds.
For the longest time, you just sound like a broken record, but you have to be consistent when teaching kids.
Don't try to make children grow up to be like you, or they may do it.
