Children miss nothing in sizing up their parents. If you are only half convinced of your beliefs, they will quickly discern that fact.

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering...
Hebrews 10:23

We as parents, often think that we have the wool pulled over our childrens' eyes. We teach, do as I say, not as I do. Well that kind of thinking just doesn't get it, it never did. We were only fooling ourselves. Children have always had the uncanny ability to pick up on, exactly what we did not want them to.
Have you ever heard your child say something a bit off color, and wonder....NOW where did they hear that!! Hmmm. It's what we say, that is more than likely what they pick up. So, we not only need to preach a certain way, but we must live that way as well. Teach - Do as I do, and say what I say. When we live, say and act the way we should, then we set an example, not only for our children, but for ourselves and others. Hold fast our faith and belief without wavering. Remember, someone is always watching, wheather it be our chlidren or someone we don't even know. We should always set the best example we can....Our God is always WATCHING.....
