Leading Children by Example

Leading Children by Example "Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them." – James Arthur Baldwin

Children follow the path that we set for them, they look to their elders for examples and guidance. As we have all too often seen, as with the children's poll I mentioned in my Earth Day post, the best example for the worlds children is not being set. If children only see hate, destruction, greed, violence and war then these are the examples we have given them to imitate and turn into the reality of adulthood. Let us give the children of today more examples of kindness, peace, and preservation to imitate, so that the children of tomorrow will need not look so tirelessly for good imitations of life.
