The parenting tips presented here pertain to the fact that your child is deeply impressed by your way of living, not just by your way of parenting.

How you live your life operates as a life-long guide for your child’s life-path.

The parent functions as a sort of lighthouse for the child, guiding the child, hopefully, along a happy, healthy, successful life-path.

Your child may be observing you far more closely than even she realizes. Your modeling as a sort of compass for her daily life choices in the short AND the long-term.

Parenting tips for the long-term:
• Pursuing the fulfillment of your higher potential leads your children to become their best selves.
• Leading a fulfilling life leads your children to lead fulfilling lives.
