Teach by Example

Home schooling teaches the child and....me.
My daughter has learned just enough to know that sometimes she can get away with "just enough" or the bare minimum.  If you are a teacher or a mom you know what I mean.
This is the moment where I have to be patient, able to teach, able to guide in a new direction.  I have to be able to show, give example of why the bare minimum is not the best way for her.  That it is actually a detriment to a rich and satisfying life. 
The first step in this is to examine myself and see where I am just doing enough and see where I can do more.  Can I do something better than I have been? 
Did I make my bed this morning? 
Are the kitchen dishes done, but the counter a mess?
Is the laundry still in the dryer getting wrinkly?
Did I help her with her schooling till I was bored then walk away, leaving her to her own devises?
Leading by example is the best teaching tool available.
What example are we showing others.
