Deep dives
The Power of Leading by Example
As parents, we often tell our children to be good, honest, and law-abiding. However, what truly matters is not what we say, but what we show through our actions. Children learn from home, in the car, and from their dad. It is crucial to demonstrate the values we want to instill in them, even in inconvenient situations. Breaking laws or lying to avoid consequences sends the wrong message and undermines the values we try to teach. By leading by example, we show our children that we genuinely mean what we say.
Teaching Morality Begins at Home
Education is not the only thing that starts at home, but morality does too. Children not only observe their parents' actions, but also internalize them as they develop their own character. The way we behave on the road, for example, can impact the kind of driver and person our children become. It is essential to prioritize the right lessons over personal convenience. By considering what is truly valuable to us in every situation, especially when our children are watching, we can ensure that we are teaching them the right values and setting a positive example.
Ryan explains why your good example is just as important as the words you utter on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
