Are there things about your daughter that annoy you or irk you a little? Whether it be that she doesn’t keep her room clean, she smacks while she is eating, or she just doesn’t listen, what can you do to help the situation? Many times as mother’s we just assume that the child is WRONG and we are RIGHT. However, we sometimes need to step back and determine whether or not we are doing something that we shouldn’t or if we need to do something we are not in order to set a better example for our daughter(s).
I’m not saying it’s our fault, no way, not in every case, maybe not in any case, but it is important that we set the example for our daughter to follow. Whatever it is you’re wanting her to be sure to do, how you’re wanting her to act, how you want her to carry herself, dress herself or present herself, be sure you’re setting the example for her that you wish for her to follow, not one you’d be embarrased of if someone were to point it out to you.
Makes you think a little huh? Well sometimes that is a good thing, we have to sit back and evaluate why we are doing the things we are, why we’re frustrated so much with the things our daughters are doing and if their behavior may be stemming from ours. You can probably recall situations in your younger years where you were just “reacting” to your mom’s words, actions or deeds. It really is true, “so set an example in word and in deed”.
