I've grown up with kids watching me and as they're growing up, I'm growing up.

Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.

You can't say one thing and behave another way. Kids learn more from watching you in life than what you say to them.

The interesting part is that most of the kids I speak to have grown up watching 'Full House', so they feel like they know me and can talk to me.

Kids learn more from example than from anything you say; I'm convinced they learn very early not to hear anything you say, but to watch what you do.

Also, I realized a lot of kids are listening to me. Whether I want to be or not, they're looking up to me.

I abhor 'baby talk.' I speak to kids like I would any other person, and they seem to respond to it.

Kids love watching adults act like children. It's that spirit they can relate to.

I've got kids now and they will constantly pull you into the here and now - they are very present and very vivid.

See, people are watching you. Especially your children. They're taking in every single thing you do. They are like video cameras with legs. And they are always in the record mode. They learn more from what you do than from what you say.
