Why parents are the best teachers - 1. Parents have subtle ways of humbling you, of reminding you of your origins, perhaps by showing up at the moment of your greatest glory and reminding you where you went wrong. 2. Parents can be understanding and accept the more difficult stages as necessary times of growth for the child. 3. Parents dont make mistakes because they dont care, but because they care so deeply. (Berry Brazelton) 4. Parents through their own behavior and the values, by which they live, provide direction for their children. 5. Values like honesty, integrity, discipline, obedience, loyalty, and reverence for elders are passed on by parents to their children. 6. Parents can offer their help by suggesting and locating resources likely to be unfamiliar to children, such as people, books, and materials that can be useful. 7. Parents are like shuttles on a loom. They join the threads of the past with threads of the future and leave their own bright patterns as they go.
