What it feels like to be a mom

Show your children how to treat people appropriately. Whether you’re with your spouse, co-parent, family members, friends, or strangers, you should always treat people with respect and kindness. Let your kids know what it means to be a good friend or partner, and show them how you actively listen, compromise, and share with others. Use teachable moments when you and your spouse disagree (on lighter matters) to show your kids how to work through conflicts.
