BE A GOOD ROLE MODEL

 

FOR YOUR CHILD

 

Children learn by imitating.

Be the kind of person you want your child to be.

 

 

  •   If you treat others COURTEOUSLY and fairly, so will he.
  • If you LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE and try to help them, so will she.
  •   If you show RESOURCEFULNESS, so will he.
  •   If you KEEP CALM when things go wrong, so will she.
  • If you SHOW YOUR LOVE, so will she.
  • If you RESPECT HIM, he'll respect you.
  • If you HAVE SELF-DISCIPLINE, she'll learn it too.

If you tackle problems with a POSITIVE ATTITUDE ("I can do it")

rather than a negative attitude ("Oh no, what will I do now?")

Your child will learn to do the same.
