The Morning Question:What’s one behavior you hope your kids never pick up from you?

Dad Thoughts Today:

• Kids as Mirrors of Our Behavior:

• The Power of Mark Bell’s Question: When have you seen me do that?” is such an effective tool for parenting

• Balancing Accountability and Empathy

• • Modeling Better Behavior

  
  

  Our kids are always watching us - learning from both the good and the bad. It’s up to us to model the behavior we want to see in them.

  Today, when your kids act out or make a mistake, ask them, "When have you seen me do that?" Use it as a chance to reflect together and grow.

The Morning Question : How can you teach your kids to be responsible without being overly picky?

Practical Ways to Teach Responsibility (vs being picky)

• Tips for showing responsibility in everyday life:
• • Double-check your work (e.g., proofread emails or checklists together).
  • Teach them to prepare for activities (e.g., packing school bags the night before).
  • Encourage them to take ownership of small tasks and celebrate their effort.

Being particular isn’t about being picky; it’s about holding yourself to a higher standard. Show your kids what it means to be prepared, responsible, and thoughtful - it’s a lesson that lasts a lifetime.

Today, take a moment to demonstrate the value of preparation and responsibility. Let your kids see you lead by example - it’s the most powerful way to teach them.
