It is easy to forget that children are watching you, learning from you and doing exactly what you are doing. So are you satisfied with the example you are setting? Let’s look at some of the common examples people present to their children.

May is coming to an end. That means that June is closing in. Are you ready for summer? There are some key things you need to do to be really ready.
