Do you want children who are patient, kind, humble, and grateful? Children who respect you and themselves, as well as others? They should have a strong work ethic, never giving up until they complete the tasks that others consider impossible. Who can succeed in various aspects of life—personal, professional, and in relationships—by doing their best? You can’t force your children to be grateful for everything you do. Instead, you can raise children who have a healthy sense of self, who take on responsibility, and who can accept the consequences of their actions. These children will grow up to be adults you can be proud of, and they will remain balanced in the turbulent sea of life. They will even act like leaders of others’ lives. Trust me, I know that well. I have five children and four grandchildren who live both inside and outside my house. My beloved Sandy and I live in Arizona, and we create a beautiful atmosphere around us.
