Kids learn by example

Do your kids learn more about what you say or what you do? Today, Monica Hinderer joins Doug to discuss things kids notice about adults without the adults being aware of it.

Listener questions and comments:

  • Teresa – My son is 30 years old, but when he was 7 years old, I was fighting with my husband and said quietly ‘I hate you’ about my husband. My son was not happy. (18:53)
  • Teresa – Our communication with our children can build them up or break them down. My mom always compared me to other children and it really hurt. (22:01)
  • Dianna – My 16-year-old thinks she ‘knows it all’. She corrects me in front of my spouse and doesn’t take reprimands well. (26:14)
  • Matthew – My son said my wife thinks I’m stupid. What should I do? (34:31)
