Words of Wisdom for Your Children

By: Marty Lee Parker

You are where you are in the world today because of the belief systems you have deep inside of you. There are certain mantras, quotes and philosophies that make up the great side of your personality and are what you rely on to make smart decisions in your life. Knowing, remembering and actually saying what you believe on a consistent basis to your children can be difficult.

By making an event out of the process of passing on your wisdom and smarts to your kids, you are increasing your chances that you will actually do it. Setting up a specific time to share your wisdom makes it happen on a regular basis.

A great time to provide kids with your knowledge is at the breakfast table. They have to eat and are stuck in that position until they are finished. This gives them time to actually listen to what you are saying.

Coming up with words of wisdom can be tricky, but now that you have the time set that you are going to deliver your knowledge to your children, you have a deadline to meet each day. It is this goal of sharing your knowledge with your kids that will make you come up with some surprisingly great little tid-bits that have helped you out in life.

Here are some examples of words of wisdom to share with your kids:

- Before you say anything negative about someone, pretend they are standing beside you.

- The Law will catch you if you break it. Someday, someway, someone will find out and you will go to jail.

- Mistakes are our greatest teachers, so don't be afraid to make one.

Words of wisdom do not have to be profound or made with great elegance to stick. The fact that you are sharing a belief with your child is what makes them listen and take what you say to heart. You are not telling them to pick up their clothes, you are not asking them a question about their day, you are not complaining about the neighbors, instead you are just giving a short jolt of knowledge about something in life.

If you want to insure that your child is a prized worker, tell them this:

REMEMBER TO THROW IN AN "ALSO"

When they are washing a car for money, tell them to "also" sweep out the car. If they are getting paid to paint a house, tell them to paint the house and "also" clean the brushes when they are done. This is the cheapest form of advertising.
