I try to teach my children my values, every bit as much through my words, as through my actions. So far it seems to have worked, their teachers at school, and other adults in their lives compliment me frequently on my children and their behavior. When faced with a difficult choice, I can generally count on my kids to do the right thing. It is my belief that children give you exactly what you expect from them, and I have always expected good things from them, it is rare that they don't meet those expectations. Of course, that could all change with puberty, but I have done my best to give them a strong moral compass to guide them.
