Smile, You’re on Candid Camera


    Remember the old program “Smile, You’re on Candid Camera”? Every parent should know that is real life with kids. Our children are little video cameras running all the time, storing in their little brains the impressions they pick up!

    So we need to be sure we are modelling the role we desire our children to follow. When we don’t model what we want to be, we need to admit to our children that we’re wrong, ask their forgiveness, and then get back to the task of becoming the very best example possible. And it is crucial that mom and dad provide a unified example, so that your models don’t cancel each other out.

    Now research validates that children who grow up in an environment with two people living on “the same page,” with the same ideals, are 40% less likely to ever have a divorce.

    Remember, you’re on camera. Be a unified, consistent picture for your sake, and for your children’s sake.
