This quote is so right on. For instance, my 3 year old is imitating every single word, sound, motion, and movement someone say or does. His brain is a sponge literally. I have to remind my friends and including myself to make sure that we do not say anything inappropriate because my son will say exactly what you say now. As adults, we have to be mindful of what we say and do because children watch us constantly. If our children are watching us, don't we want them to pick up the good qualities of us? When we show our children the correct way to talk and behave, then we can truly say that we are good role models. I think this generation that is coming up are lacking good role models in the home, school, and the rest of the community. I strive everyday to be a great role model for my son to imitate so that he can make mommy and himself proud. Ask yourself if you are parent, relative, or educator, are you being a good role model for the children to imitate.
