Be aware in your choices, because it will impact your children as well. (ii) Moreover, think out loud in front your children. If you can come out a good conclusion for a problem, your children may be able to follow that reason once they are under the similar situation. (iii) It is important that to apologize and admit your mistakes. Once your children find that you make a mistake, they will see how is your reaction. Let them know you admit your mistakes and show them how you plan to correct it. (iv) Furthermore, you must have self discipline with your own. Be on time, finished what you started, don't quit, keep your words and don't back off when things get challenges. This will teach your children that things can be done and also adopt an "if he/she can do it, so can I" attitude on themselves. (v) Besides that, show your respect to others. You want your children respect others and you as well? Please respect others and your children first. (vi) Lastly, you must demonstrate confidence in who you are. Whatever you have choose to do with your life, be proud of it. Although we are happy with how far we have came at the time, we must still continue to strive. If children see that you are always confident in yourself, they will also feel happy in who they are as to you. (It is time to end my speech.)
