WHAT IF THEY BECOME LIKE US?
I had a conversation with my oldest daughter. In the middle of it, I asked, “So do you gossip?” Her response brought me to a very deep place of reflection.
In her words, “No mummy, I have not heard or seen you gossip, and I have decided to be like you.” And truly, I do not gossip or entertain it.
While a part of me quietly rejoiced, another part of me began to look inward. To look at the things I may have modeled that they might have innocently or blindly copied, because this is an aspect of parenting many of us do not fully realise.
Our children are not only listening to what we say, they are studying who we are.
They are watching how we respond when we are angry, how we speak about people when they are not present, how we handle disappointment, how we treat people we have nothing to gain from, how we talk to our spouses, how we react under pressure, whether or not we apologize when wrong, whether or not we forgive when wronged, how we even speak about ourselves, the list is endless.
Many of the deepest lessons being passed down in our homes, happen at moments we barely even notice.
That conversation made me think deeply.
Because if my child could consciously decide to follow a good thing she saw, then what about the unhealthy things we model without knowing?
What about the constant anger, the silent bitterness, the mocking language, the pride we display, the dishonesty, the impatience, the way we speak harshly when stressed, the way we normalise disrespect, our neglect of prayer and study of God’s word?
Children often absorb these things long before they are old enough to examine them, and truthfully this is why parenting can be so humbling.
It forces you to confront yourself, not the version of yourself you present outside or the version people praise.
But the version your children live with every single day.
Sometimes, when we notice certain behaviours in our children, our first instinct is to correct them quickly. But if we are honest, many times we need to first ask ourselves where they may have learned it from, because children can repeat what they constantly see, even when nobody intentionally teaches it.
And this is not to make us feel guilty or perfect, no parent gets everything right. But it should make us more intentional.
What they see repeatedly eventually becomes normal to them.
Honestly, one of the biggest responsibilities of parenting is not just raising children, but working on ourselves too, knowing that our children may not become everything we tell them to be, but they will often become what they consistently see.
