I definitely agree with that. Our kids pick up on who we are and how we react to circumstances. They'll follow our lead - what we do rather than just what we say. I wrote about this same topic in January: http://metropolitanmama.net/2009/01/our-discipline-philosophywhats-yours/.

Great post. I got the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace Jr. for my son Ian. He has five jobs everyday and earns five dollars commission per week. If he doesn't do a job, or doesn't do it correctly (he's nine) then he gets "fined" one dollar. He also gets fined seventy-five cents for complaining! We also talk about the Bible says to do all things without murmuring and complaining. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your family's day! Amen! Great post.

I so needed that reminder today. I am just sitting down to work on a "Flat Stanley" project for a friend in another state rather begrudgingly. You have helped me change me attitude about it and for training my kids, too. We too shall start the 5 minute race! I love the memory verse : ) You are such a blessing to read!!!

I am so grateful you are doing this series of posts. Seriously. I need them! I especially need the reminder that I am my childrens' primary example each day. If I am not cheerful and joyful, then how on earth can I expect them to be??! I really appreciate all the tips, too! I love the idea of having your kids play on the area rug while you're working with your older kids. What a great way for them to keep some order, but also have fun. Thank you, thank you! I am looking forward to reading the rest of your posts. Wow, this really hit the spot for me! I am so grateful you are doing this series of posts. Seriously. I need them!

It is SO true. I struggle with doing things without complaining sometimes. Especially when I feel my spouse is not pulling his share. By complaining, I am setting that example to my kids as well. I'm going to try to do better in this area. I truly want God to change my heart in areas like this. Thanks for a great post! God bless, Amanda Love, love this post. It is SO true.
