Try to explain to them the effects of eating too much candy. 3. Dine together Spare time for your kids. Ignore all your work pressure. No matter how busy you are spend time with them. Have at least one planned meal together with your family, with your husband and children. By this they will learn the importance of family and respect you.

It is important that you spend time with their partners to understand them better and provide your children with your valuable opinion. -iloveudadi Mark- mwah :)
