Children learn much more from how you act than from what you tell them. There are times this worries me - we parents are rarely the role models we want to be. True for life. True for driving.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was very driven to act from a very young age, and my parents were not only tolerant of that drive but also encouraging.
My theory is children don't do what you tell them to do, they do what you do. You have to always do the right thing because they follow you.
There are several methods for introducing your children to driving, and all of them are bad. Probably the worst is to put it off.
When you act, you're being asked to pretend in a very rigid, controlled environment. It's very un-childlike. So a lot of times, when you put kids in that situation, you hope they have a better support system outside of what they're doing to bring them back to reality at the end of the day and to keep them well-rounded.
My parents say that even as a very, very little kid, the way that I acted was dramatically different from other little kids.
You can't say one thing and behave another way. Kids learn more from watching you in life than what you say to them.
Learning to drive is a scary thing for a parent. I had to basically lie to get the keys when I was a kid.
With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us. We as parents are their most important role models.
Parents must lead by example. Don't use the cliche; do as I say and not as I do. We are our children's first and most important role models.
A kid never listens to what his parents tell him to do. The parents actually act as an example of what their kids themselves do.
