when your kids pick up your habits

It’s extremely humbling and gratifying to see your kids picking up some (positive) habits from you, just by observing you.

The other day, my kids found me standing in my bedroom, brushing my teeth. They asked why I am not in front of the bathroom sink and I told them that it’s a good habit to walk away from the sink when you’re brushing your teeth, so you dont rush into rinsing your mouth too soon.

Two nights ago, after dinner, I was in the kitchen, when they walked in, brushing their teeth, expecting me to take notice that they are not in front of the sink. Of course I hugged them, but I was so happy that I was able to add a very small value in their life.

Oh parents kee choti choti khushiyaan :frowning:

Share your experience please.

Re: when your kids pick up your habits

Oh god my husband does that too and my daughter has been imitating it since she was a baby.It makes me cringe and makes me wanna yell…SIT DOWN…!! (I don’t do that though…:()

Why the habits in the kids that have negative undertone, always come from the other spouse?
