You are the most powerful influence on your children. They will be like you both good and bad. Here is a video I found on YouTube that makes that point in a powerful way. Children see … children do.

wow…. stark illustration of a reality. Kids soak up everything they see and here, and they model their behaviors on us. Do we want them to do that with the bad? Or the good?
Excellent post.
I actually posted this video in our group on Facebook. It’s wonderfully compelling stuff.
I’d love to share this with my class. Is there a clean version anywhere (one without the middle finger)?
That was a great video. Really shows how kids take in what their parents do.
It’s a heavy message. One I know I need to remember.
Wow, this was very powerful. I can only hope my own children don’t watch me very much.
I have embedded this video on my own site too!

great video for parents to see.
OH maann just makes me think how i’ll turn out with my own kids… *sigh* as long as i’m aware of it i should be alright hopefully…
Wow, if I would act like that to my wife and children I would not be married for long, it’s a shame that people need to make media videos to tell us about children and how to raise them.
