We are looking for answers to some hard questions as we dig deep inside and explore our own core values and how that guides not just our own lives but the very world that we live in. These questions will be asked to a group of high school students but we would also like to hear from the world at large. While we hope to keep this forum wide open we do reserve the right to delete responses that we find to be offensive or combative in nature. Thank you for participating with us.

Well, yes. I would be constantly trying to change my habits. It would be helpful in raising kids, wouldn't it?
I just try to do the best thing and of course, I will make mistakes. Maybe others can learn from my mistakes.
I would definitely be keeping a closer eye upon what i did or did not do. I am a recent mother and i can say that this plan is already in action for me! :lol:
Well, if I say, "Yes, I would".. then that would be saying that I probably shouldn't be doing some of the things which I do in the first place. So, I have a few things to work on. Uh hu- I'm an on & off smoker... first thing I'd do is throw that pack of cigs in the trash. Second, I'd keep my hands on the steering wheel at all times, & not use the cell while driving. I would get more sleep.. ... Oh my, this could take a while.
I thik it woudl provide more motivations to change the things that I know i ought to change. I think I would change them, but it would be hard.
Boy Michelle, I want to say yes. I don't think any of us want to be seen as a hypocrite, especially by the kiddos.They can smell a rat alot quicker these days. I definately would not want to be a "do as I say, not as I do" person. Adults can argue morals if they want to, but a child needs a compass for good and bad, and it has to come from adults that they can trust.
*groan* This is more than theoretical! I wince when I see my 18-year-old son imitate the way I carp at other motorists! I don't do it so much when he is riding with me.
I am not always as successful with this as I would like to be, especially with my sons.
They have picked up their mother's procrastination and it is seriously causing them problems in school. *sigh*
