We have to grow and love as the Father Loves us.  Our children are watching and they see it all.  We have to encourage and empower our children to be awesome servants of God.  Being a servant is important to our lives.  It's a learned character as children.

Fathers, do not embitter your children or they will become discouraged. Colossians 3:21

Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children. Proverbs 17:6

We have to be an example.  Most new Christians have to learn to parent themselves; obtaining wisdom from our Father in heaven in order to be the parents he called us to be.  Walking and learning is the smart way to hear.

But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents for this is pleasing to God. 1 Timothy 5:4

Are we being this example?  Are we helping our families?  Are we starting from the inside?
