Behavior breeds same: Whether you chain smoke, drink to excess, overeat, yell at your kids constantly, or anything else, you set the "normal" for your kids.How could you expect your kid not to model the same behavior of the parent(s) they grow up loving. In the same way, ending the issue during their childhood can show them how to combat a problem.
