I'm not referring to your kids looking at you in a negative way, they love you no matter what you look like how much you weigh, or even how badly you behave. I'm talking bout how they view themselves.

If you are always talking bad about yourself, you are inadvertently teaching them that this is the way you are supposed to treat yourself. Critical, harsh, unforgiving, unloving, and negative.

How you treat yourself is how they will treat their self. So please think about that the next time you talk or treat yourself badly. Little ears are listening and little eyes ate watching.
