So often we put ourselves at the bottom of the pile and focus on everyone else first.
This sounds great, but what does it teach our children?
It teaches them that you don’t matter as much as they do, so not everyone is equal.
It teaches them that self-love isn’t important.
It teaches them that we don’t respect ourselves.
When we put ourselves at the bottom, we are giving our children the wrong message.
We are their role model.
So, if we want them to not put everyone before them, but to have self-respect and self-love, then we need to demonstrate that.
We need to be what we would like our children to be.
We need to treat ourselves as we want our children to treat themselves.
