You are where you are in the world today because of the belief systems you have deep inside of you. There are certain mantras, quotes and philosophies that make up the great side of your personality and are what you rely on to make smart decisions in your life. Knowing, remembering and actually saying what you believe on a consistent basis to your children can be difficult.

By making an event out of the process of passing on your wisdom and smarts to your kids, you are increasing your chances that you will actually do it. Setting up a specific time to share your wisdom makes it happen on a regular basis.

A great time to provide kids with your knowledge is at the breakfast table. They have to eat and are stuck in that position until they are finished. This gives them time to actually listen to what you are saying.

This deadline that you have created will be what will drive you to come up with some of the secrets of life that have helped you in your life. Without the pressure and committing to sharing your knowledge at a specific time, you will be less likely to think of all those smart words of wisdom that have helped you out in your life.

Here are smart things to share with your children:

- Imagine the person you are about ready to saying something negative about is standing right beside you.

- If you ever commit a crime someday, somewhere, someone will find out… it might not be tomorrow, or next week, but someday you will get caught.

- A mistake you made can be one of your greatest experiences just as long as the mistake taught you a better way to do something.

Giving a quick burst of wisdom sometimes works best. It doesn’t have to be lengthy or have to have a hearty explanation. You said the wisdom, that is what is the important part.

Here is one little tid-bit of wisdom that you can share with your children that will help them become in high demand when they start to enter the work force and is a secret that will get them multitudes of repeat business.

DO YOUR JOB AND THEN AN “ALSO”

This is one of the best forms of free advertising ever. Whatever job, task or project your children are doing for someone, tell them to always throw in an “ALSO”. If they are babysitting, tell them to not only watch the kids for three hours but also do the dishes and tidy the kitchen. If they are mowing a lawn, tell them to not only cut the grass, but to clean off the mower, straighten the yard and sweep off the porch when they are done. If they are racking leaves, tell them to not only rack leaves but also bag them and put them where they belong.
