“As you show these principles over and over , it becomes engrained into how we think. And, when your kids see that, they begin doing it to their siblings. And so we've seen that as well. Many of these aspects I already knew as a parent but, as I study them more, there are more avenues that I can apply in my own parenting and I'm seeing how my kids are watching how I (interact) with my wife and (with) each of them and I watch how they (interact) with each other.” ThinkingWellsI CanShowsKidsParentMy OwnPrinciplesWatchesStudyWifeSeeingAspectMy WifeOver ItAvenuesSibling Author:Alex Kendrick
