Something to consider: \u201cA child learns by mimicry. Most children, unless they\u2019re severely aberrated, are very good mimics. And they look at the adult and they try to use the adult as a pattern for their own actions. This is natural. Unfortunately, most adults around children have quite a few dramatizations. So the child may start now to mimic the dramatization\u2026\u201d<\/div>\n
L. RON HUBBARD<\/div>\n
from tape recorded lecture of 15 July 1950<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s one thing to take this to encompass things like putting on clothes, eating, wiping your mouth, etc. \u00a0Obviously our kids (and other peoples\u2019 kids) watch everything we do, and most of us realize this. \u00a0 But what about other things like snapping back at mommy when she asks a question, or saying \u201cI can\u2019t take it anymore!\u201d and slamming the door, or arguing in front of the kids, or using bad manners with others.\n
\n
Our kids are indeed watching our every move, and as such it\u2019s of paramount importance that we set a good example for our kids.<\/div>\n
\n
In some cases, that\u2019s simply a matter of self-discipline. \u00a0In others, it\u2019s a matter of putting enough attention on yourself to get your own shortcomings sorted out. \u00a0Bad communication habits, unreasonable fears and upsets at things\u2013these all have a source and can be sorted out, which is what Dianetics & Scientology are all about.<\/div>\n
So, just think about it then next time you snap back at your spouse, and wonder why your kids are all of the sudden cheeky with you as well.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
