"Children rise higher when they are treated with respect. Use courteous and respectful language when you talke with your children and others. Bruno Bettelheim, a world-famous psychologist, said, "You can't teach children to be good. The best you can do for your child is to live a good life yourself. What a parent knows and believes, the child will lean on." You don't teach a child not to yell by yelling. We cannot expect to be respected if we treat other in demeaning ways"
~Marjorie Pay Hinckley
I needed to read this quote today. I love Sister Hinckley and she had such wisdom. I know not to yell at my kids but that doesn't always stop me. At times I stop and remember this quote and I am better able to control my temper.
