I have a question for all of you.  What are we teaching our children? When we make things easy for your children, and protect them from disappointment - what are we really teaching them.  When we make life easy - such as dish washers, driving them everywhere, giving them everything they want, without having to work for it, what are we teaching them.  When we don't get involved to make this a better place, when we don't help others what are we teaching our children?  When we yell and scream, because someone cuts us off in traffic, what are we teaching our children?  - should I keep going. 
Always think, what are my actions teaching my children, remember they learn a whole lot more from our actions then from our words.
