VIR-III-0005
“I'm raising my kids with values I'm proud of.”
Values aren't taught through lectures, they're transmitted through consistent behavior. Every time you do right when it's hard, every time you're honest when it would be easier not to be, you are the curriculum. Your kids are watching the real version of you.
Your Practice
Identify one value you're living out consistently in front of your kids. Then identify one that you talk about but don't always model. This week, find one concrete moment to demonstrate that second value in a way they can see.
The Architects
“For this one virtue is not only the greatest, but is also the parent of all the other virtues.”
Cicero, Pro Plancio, 33.80 (C. D. Yonge translation)
