Have you heard the phrase "Do as I say, not as I do?" This episode reminds us that 'role modeling' is one of the most powerful tools we have to positively influence our little one's personalities. Children are constantly absorbing the information they see around them. They are watching everything we say and do from how we handle stress, to how we treat others and how we manage our emotions. In this episode, Wendy and Heidi chat about the importance of modeling. This episode is #ChampionApproved
