Children Learn What They Live Quotes

“Bila seorang anak hidup dengan kritik,ia akan belajar menghukum.Bila seorang anak hidup dengan permusuhan, ia akan belajar kekerasan. Bila seorang anak hidup dengan olokan,ia belajar menjadi malu. Bila seorang anak hidup dengan rasa malu, ia belajar merasa bersalah. Bila seorang anak hidup dengan dorongan, ia belajar percaya diri. Bila seorang anak hidup dengan keadilan,ia belajar menjalankan keadilan. Bila seorang anak hidup dengan ketentraman, ia belajar tentang iman. Bila seorang anak hidup dengan dukungan,ia belajar menyukai dirinya sendiri. Bila seorang anak hidup dengan penerimaan dan persahabatan , ia belajar untuk mencintai dunia.”

“Children Learn What They Live” presents a clear and simple message: Children are continuously learning from their parents. Your children are paying attention to you. Perhaps not to what you tell them to do, but certainly to what they actually see you do. You are their first and most powerful role models. Parents can strive to teach certain values, but children will inevitably absorb whatever values are transmitted through their parents’ behavior, feelings, and attitudes in everyday living. How you express and manage your own feelings becomes a model that will be remembered by your children throughout their lifetimes.”
