Guest guest Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 This made me cry. Still. Again. I just posted it on FB with the tag, " What will your children see you do today? What will they do tomorrow? " Let all the crazy in our world's stop with us. Lynnette > > Here is a short commercial ( " Children Are Watching " ) showing how children are basically hard-wired to mimic their parents' behavior; its the child's " normal. " Kids pick up mommy's and daddy's behavioral style in the same way they pick up their parents' language: through constant exposure. > > > > That's what makes us KOs here so remarkable; even though we were exposed to chronic, daily stress in the form of emotional, physical and even sexual abuse, or neglect, or exploitation by our own parents, we have been able to stop ourselves from passing on that legacy. > > To me, that speaks loudly of innate factors having a large (if not the key) role in how a person turns out. Even though we suffered abuse, we consciously choose not to become abusers ourselves. > > That's pretty damned significant, sez I. > > -Annie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
