Following my lead.

There are many habit I have that I would like this think are worth having. I am honest, loyal, and hardworking. I also have habits that are likely those best kept to myself. For example I swallow chewing gum and don't spit it out. I know the rumors about gum but if they were true I would have a 500 pound wad of it in my stomach by now. There are habits that I am working to instill in my children that I wish I had as a child such as being active. I want my children to see me working out and taking care of my body because they will see that as a routine part of life. Eating healthily and taking vitamins is another thing we do as an example to our children. Our children see my husband taking vitamins for men and I make sure to do the same and explain why to them. I want them to understand that your health is a gift that you must honor. Sitting around doing nothing and eating junk food is not taking care of yourself. Hopefully, they won't have to learn this lesson the long way like their parents had to.
