kids and observation

Kids learn more by observation.Never forget that.They are particularly endowed with an innate ability to imitate their role models- adults closest to them.Whether you are playing with your ,I-pad , Cooking  , excersing , driving or relating with people, they are observing quietly.Most times they mimick your actions while alone or in the company of other kids.So for them it's not really what you tell them to do that they do ,rather they do what they see you do.That  really puts a  lot of responsibilty on parents; as it would be difficult to imbibe in a child virtues that you are not displaying for them to see.If you want them to show love to others for instance, you must be seen showing love to others.In other words they want you to practise what you preach.
