Chesca Garcia and Kendra Kramer


Chesca Garcia-Kramer reflects on parenting her eldest daughter Kendra.

Actress and mom-of-three Chesca Garcia felt emotional as she shared that her eldest, Kendra, wanted to look like her.

She wrote on Instagram, “As I was fixing myself in front of the mirror, my little miss comes up to me and says, 'I want to look just like you and be like you.'

“She grabs a pair of earrings, puts it on, paints her cheeks with some blush, tints her lips and presses them together just the way I do… 'There! I look like you already!'”

Through this instance, Chesca reflected on how she sets an example for her children.

“It's true what they say, 'A parent is the child's first copybook,'” she said.

“That is why it is so important to mold them while they are still young. The kind of parents that we are is reflected in our children. Our influence speaks volumes of our parenting.

“What a responsibility but what a privilege to be given such a task… There is no better person to delegate the role that we are blessed with.”

Chesca concluded, “We reap the benefits when we parent intentionally: loving them, caring for them, shaping and teaching them the way God meant it to be.”
