The good news is that most kids very good at modeling themselves after the adults they see, without specific prompting to do so.
The bad news is that they can be too good: It's hard to change yourself if you don't want them to learn something. ("Do what I say, not what I do.")
- silisili 2y agoSpot on. A child will take every annoying habit you don't even know that you have, and put it on full display. It's quite humbling.
- bluGill 2y agoSometimes you can get a child to not get into your bad habits, but only if they are really bad. I know a women who never drinks because her parents were alcoholics and she doesn't want to follow their path. (her mother went to rehab for it, when she got back the first thing her husband did was pour her two shots and ordered her to drink). Most of the time you are right though, kids see and follow their parents.
