Role Models for our Kids
West Des Moines Representative talks to youth about giving thanks!
Our kids have a tough road to go. From Michael Jordan, Steve McNair, and now Tiger Woods. Who should be our children’s role models? These athletes, presidents, and even coaches can’t be trusted by their own families. I know everybody makes mistakes but when do we stop buying products they advertise or even stop supporting teams they play for?
Life is about relationships, family, and friends. When they can’t trust you, who can? My suggestion is for parents to sit back, look in the mirror and think, “Would I want my kids acting like this”? Think before you, yourself act. You are a role model for your own kids, whether you like it or not.
If you can’t be trusted, you will never be the person you want to be.
Change can happen any day. Make today be that day.
