What type of role model are you for children?
Do you control your own eating habits, your use of alcohol and respectful behavior privately and around others? Everything’s a mirror, right? Children do what they see us doing.
If you are working with children who have already manifested illegal, unacceptable or abhorrent behavior, the origin can be rather quickly determined upon close scrutiny just by asking the right questions.
It’s never too late to change your habits, change the patterns you’ve established in your own life so that the children watching you can learn from your courage and confidence.
