Every day is an opportunity to be the change, an opportunity to show your child how one person can make a difference and yes one person can! It takes one step to start a journey, a single drop to start a flood, one person to initiate a change. Albert Einstein said that “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Are we perhaps ‘insane’? We want change but wait for someone else to initiate it….
Yes I know… right now you thinking: “I didn’t open this post to read the same old “be the change” story and it’s not my job”… but if it isn’t your job than whose job is it?
Sometimes we unwittingly send the wrong messages to our kids… Like when we throw an empty plastic bottle out of the window whilst driving or when we do not finish our dinner and proceed to throw it into the bin.
Children look at this and think it’s fine if I do it because mom did it too. You may be a good parent but you may be setting the wrong example. Remember children don’t always do what they are told but they definitely do what they see. How many times have you watched your child and thought “Now where did she learn that…” and your partner says but you do it all the time. Our acts either conscious or subconscious are easily picked up by our kids.

These are all important life lessons that we should teach our kids. This is an awesome campaign and I’m heading over there to join.
These are all such great lessons! I think as a parent one of our biggest responsibility is to teach our children how to make the most of the present so they can have the future they want and these lessons are the perfect tools to do that!
We don’t value education here, like we should. I know my girls take it for granted.
I love your list, Shan. I agree with you in that our reactions are often seen and repeated by our children. It is a shame people don’t try and conserve their energy and being a team player by following the rules are important and actions speak louder than words in regards to working together.
I particularly agree with #4 – Admit to mistakes. I think this is best taught by example. When kids see/hear their parents admitting to their mistakes, they learn that it’s OK to admit their own.
These are all great tips. I think half the problem with our world is that kids are growing up without learning most of these.
I love this. This is so everything we all need to be teaching our kiddos. So many great tips. #15 is what my oldest has recently discovered himself!
I’ve made it a point to teach these things to my kids. The world is full of too many bitter, self-entitled followers.
This is an important reminder for all of us. It’s hard to imagine something like life without electricity, but that’s a reality for so many. Thanks for the challenge to think about all of these – I respecially like #13, teaching kids to think about others more than themselves.
I always reiterate the number 6 to my kids. All of these are great and I am contiuously teaching my kids all of these.
It’s easy to do what you’ve always done. It’s not smart though if there is a crisis and once you do it a few times you adapt!
So many important lessons to teach our kids. I absolutely love being a “fun” aunt to my little nephews and I hope they learn something along the way when I take them out for our adventures.
Great advice! I couldn’t agree more! The most important one to me is Love yourself before you love others! This is one I still to this day have problems with!
Valuing education is a big one for me. I think this message really sunk in. They’re super smart now!
Love this whole list. I have bookmarked this post for later so that I can really go over them with my child :]
This is a great list. We work very hard to try to get our kids to think through these things and sometimes we make progress – sometimes we accept that there is a lot of work to do tomorrow!
Those are excellent suggestions. I agree with them all. For the most part, my kids are the best.
Great tips, I decided to take a major step towards my ids futures by sending them to a private school this year.
These are great tips. I remember when I was little teacher’s wrote ‘classroom values’ on the blackboard on day 1, too bad they do not do that anymore. As a former Special Ed teacher it saddens me how little ‘in house’ training some of the students would come to the classroom with.
These are great tips. Parents are their child’s life teachers and have to prepare them for what’s ahead. There is so much happening in the world. I can only imagine what the future generations will face
Such great trips. I always talk to my son about the value of education and dreaming big. And also respect for others.
There are a lot of great lessons here and important tips. The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow, so we need to present them with the best set of morals that we can and most definitely lead by example.
These are all definitely things that a child should be taught! I know I want my daughter to lead a great life!
I feel humility, kindness and forgiveness should be at the top of the list. Everything else falls into place after.
I actually agree with you!
I always taught my kids to be kind to everyone. You never know when a smile is going to change someones whole day. These are great life lessons.
These are all excellent points. I have tried to teach my kids about being caring, helping others, and sharing what we have. I think it is very important to teach them the value of caring for others needs too.
These are some great this we should teach our kiddos! I really want my daughter to value education! It’s so important!
These are all wonderful things to teach kids! I think a lot of adults could stand to read this, lol!
Be open to criticism is a beautiful trait to teach. This list is so motivational, and I need to make sure I teach my son these.
These are all really great lessons. I try to teach my children to be kind, whether it’s smiling, holding a door open or paying it forward.

Copper scrap trade regulations The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have regulations and guidelines for copper exposure and handling in various contexts, such as in drinking water and occupational settings. For example, the EPA has set a maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 1.3 milligrams per liter (mg/L) for copper in drinking water, based on its potential toxicity to human health. In addition, the agency has established guidelines for copper in industrial wastewater discharges and in pesticides. OSHA also has standards for copper exposure in the workplace. The permissible exposure limit (PEL) for copper dust and fumes is 0.1 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) of air for an eight-hour time-weighted average. Employers are required to provide workers with personal protective equipment and implement engineering controls to minimize exposure to copper. In addition to federal regulations, industry organizations such as the Copper Development Association (CDA) have established guidelines and standards for the manufacture and use of copper products. These include guidelines for copper plumbing systems, electrical wiring, and antimicrobial copper surfaces. Overall, the federal guidelines and standards on copper aim to protect human health and the environment from potential harm associated with copper exposure Metal scrap salvage Copper scrap pricing strategies Sustainable copper refining Global Copper scrap market Copper scrap extraction Scrap metal reclamation and reutilization center
