Imagine that your child is a video camera, recording life as a parent in order to make sense of it so they know how to ‘be’.

• You teach your child how to be a woman, a man, a friend.
• You teach them how to forgive, how to be kind and how to deal with stress
• You teach them what love looks like and how we treat each other
• You teach them what respect means
• You teach them what it is to live in a community
• You teach them about what is important in the world
• You teach them how to handle mistakes and conflict and what resilience is.
