How do we succeed in parenting? The conditions that bring about success lie in our way of teaching our children. In terms of the things we want to teach them, we have to be able to model those things ourselves. Look in the mirror. Children are very intelligent, and words alone won’t work without your actions and without your personal example. We ourselves have to be able to do what we want them to do. If you create love and harmony, if you can calm yourself, and then you can teach this to your children.
