With a passion we point our children in the direction they should go.
Anything less than perfection, we’re angry and, you bet, we let them know.
We check their work with a vengeance – not once, we check it twice.
But if we were to check ourselves, oh, it would not be nice.
The game “See and Say” is a well-known parental tool.
But do you realize, “Do as I say, not as I do” opposes the Golden Rule.
… And have you ever tried to copy someone who does not “lead the way?”
It’s like asking a child to create an original, when you practice “See and Say.”
Please don’t teach your child this way, even if that’s how your parents taught you.
Their little eyes remember what they see; not what you say, but what you do!
Don’t ask your child to reproduce something they’ve never ever seen done.
After all it’s not duplication if, like “Tigger,” they’re the only one.
I make to you one important and very huge request:
Let your child follow your lead, if you truly love them best.
If you want your child to lead, you lead, don’t simply point the way.
Remember, it’s only lip service, if they can’t see what you say!
Good leadership examples are in high demand.
If you want your child to see a leader, you be the woman or the man!
