Challenge your children to reject mediocrity. Teach them the importance of striving for excellence in everything you do. Within his God-given capabilities, challenge him to rise above the crowd, to seek higher standards of achievements, and to be all that God has gifted him to be. This involves training him to be trustworthy, to fulfill his commitments, and to do a good job even when nobody is looking.

As parents we must model humility by being teachable, admitting mistakes, and asking for forgiveness. One of the best admissions you'll ever make to your child is, "I was wrong; I'm sorry; will you forgive me?" When our children see that we are truly humble, it is a lot easier for their hearts to be receptive and shaped by convictions that we share with them.
