Two things for any parents: a) Model the behaviour you want to see in your children. Show them how you deal with anger by modelling the behaviour you'd want them to have when they're angry, by behaving that way when you're angry. Show them what it is like celebrating joys. Apologise to them when you screw up - because you will. Your son will learn how he should treat women by they way you treat his mother. Your daughter will learn how she should be treated by the way you treat her mother. (And vice versa with how mum treats dad.) When you get frustrated that they don't listen to anything you say, remember they are seeing everything you do. b) Keep working on your relationship with your partner. For me, authenticity and communication are the two big things. If you don’t feel like you can be your real self with that person, if you are unable to share with each other your dreams, fantasies, desires, fears, faults and foibles, it’s hard to build a relationship that can last. and congrats.
