Your Footsteps ( Archived) (8)

I once read this saying, "If you want your children to follow in your footsteps, be very careful where you place your feet"

That saying is true too. Kids are a lot smarter than we think. Just when we think they don't know what goes on believe me they know. We are their biggest idols and they will follow in our footsteps.

And btw we have a town by the name St-Ignace here in NB Canada as well :o)

Tracy :o)

I thank God that my parents took the right steps and always turned their heads back to make sure me and my siblings where right behind them. I hope I can have the opportunity to do the same for my future family.

Sounds like a wise cliché to me. Every partner should heed it. ;o)

oh I dont know...I rather my little one find her own way thru the darkness...she is her own person and she need to do what she feel best for her..she dont need to live my life over again...she need to make her own footprint

When you have their little feet on yours you both take the same footsteps.

for my children following in my footsteps will be a kinded hard for them with size 13 eee feet.

but as parents we are suppose to set a good example for our children.for how we live our lives will have a affect on our childrens lives.

as parents we can try to teache them right from wrong,telling the truth instead of lying.we can teach them how to treat other people.there are alot of other things that a parent can teach their children.

but the choices they make is up them to make right or wrong the choices they make will be the ones they want to make.no matter how hard we want them to do something,sometimes what we want is not what they want.

the have a mind of their own and it does not matter how we want them to use it.when they are little when they do something wrong we can tell them why it was wrong and what would have been the right way to do it.

we can hold them accountable for their actions.teach them they are responsible for their actions.teach them when they do or say something wrong they will have to face the consequences of their actions,we can show them we are not prefect and we make mistakes but we as they will learn how to learn from your misatkes and try not to make the same ones over again.

the only thing we can do as parents is to love our children with all of our hearts and be there for them when they need us.sometimes knowing we must let them fall and get hurt in order for them to learn to get up and try it again when they fall.they not give up until they have done what they wanted to do no matter how many times they fall.

to try and have people around them who will have a positive influences on their lives cause the people we go around good or bad will have a affect on our children lives.as well our children will learn from us they will also learn from other people as well.

the best thing you can do for a child is every chance you get is tell them that you love them and you will always love them no matter what.that you will be there for them as long as they need you.what ever they do tell them you are pround of them and you are thankful for being their parent
