"We are apt to forget that children watch examples better than they listen to preaching"

- Roy L. Smith

About this Quote

This quote by Roy L. Smith is a tip that kids learn more from what they observe than from what they are informed. It is very easy to forget that kids are continuously seeing and gaining from individuals around them. They are more likely to handle the actions and mindsets of those they observe than to comply with the advice they are given. This indicates that parents, instructors, as well as various other adults have to bear in mind their very own habits and also the example they are establishing for kids. If adults want kids to find out specific values as well as habits, they have to show them in their very own lives. Children are more likely to follow the example of those around them than to listen to preaching.
