Life Lesson- Respect & Communication

so I watched two episodes of Nanny and thought about my own parenting skills. The biggest factors of raising good kids is two things.  Communication and Respect.  Communication between parents and parents and children. For example, showing emotions, using words to express concerns, or simply teaching kids how to disagree civicly.  Respect ties in with communication, when we talked to each other are we supporting each other, validate each other?  Kids will do what they see parents do.  The other day when I heard Wes said sh8! B was appalled.  Can't blame him, that was totally me.  If I respected my kids, I wouldn't use inappropriate language either.  So much to learn.  But recognizing these issues is the first step.
