Re: 5 Things AFF Doesn't Know About Me!
I think one of the neatest things we can do as parents is to teach our children not only how to act, but what to expect in relationships.
We can teach by example!
One great way is for the dad to take the daughter out and teach her how a young man should treat her. Open the doors, pull out her chair, let her order first, etc. Set the bar high so she "expects" to be treated like a young lady.
Moms teach you sons how to respect women, let them know how to make a young lady feel she is special. There are all sorts of tid-bits as moms we can teach them.
I've told this before, but my brother as a young teen grabbed a girls purse in church and was going to go through it. I stopped him and later told him WHY that was wrong and he would find things that would embarrass him. He said to this day he doesn't even look through his wife's purse because he respects her.
Just some thoughts - - as I think outloud.
