Keep setting the example. They are watching every move you make and don't make. They will do more of what you show them more than what you say to them, keep speaking life and encouragement into your children.

Be ready.

Proverbs 31
The Sayings of King Lemuel
31 The sayings of King Lemuel contain this message,[a]which his mother taught him.
2 O my son, O son of my womb,
O son of my vows,
3 do not waste your strength on women,
on those who ruin kings.
O son of my vows,
3 do not waste your strength on women,
on those who ruin kings.
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, to guzzle wine.
Rulers should not crave alcohol.
5 For if they drink, they may forget the law
and not give justice to the oppressed.
6 Alcohol is for the dying,
and wine for those in bitter distress.
7 Let them drink to forget their poverty
and remember their troubles no more.
