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.

I think that the only way to teach is by example, as children will more easily follow what they see you do than what you tell them to do.

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

'What can your kids teach you?' Well, I believe something different about kids. We don't own them, they have their own knowledge. From the start you have to make the choice to listen.

Almost everyone who has claimed to know what kids need to learn or how they learn has turned out to be wrong.

You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.

Children learn what they live.

I think children learn from example. I don't believe in raising them in an authoritative atmosphere.

I think kids slowly begin to realize that what they're learning relates to other things they know. Then learning starts to get more and more exciting.

Every single thing that you learn really just gives you more comfort. It's something I counsel kids all the time: if someone is willing to teach you something for free, take them up on it. Do it. Every single time. All it does is make you more likely to be able to succeed. And it's kind of a nice way to go through life.
