Little Eyes

Hello!

Baby Teacher is also a Baby Coach, which leads to busy days. I apologize it has taken so long for me to conjure up another post.

Unless you decide to move to a remote part of Antarctica or become a self sufficient hermit, you will be surrounded by people daily. While it's important to always set a good example for everyone, you need to be extra cognizant of the little eyes that are watching you. There are very few things more important than being a good role model for the younger generation.

Kids are a ball of clay. When they are young, they are set out on the table, and each person whom they come in contact with starts kneading and molding the clay. Their little eyes are drawn to the older people around them for guidance and lessons on how to act, think, and communicate. They often emulate what they see. Give them a positive example. If you show them how to communicate with words and not with their fists, you'll create a child who can keep their cool and rationally work through differences.  If you show them respect and the importance of respecting others, you'll create a child who exhibits empathy and concern for the feelings of others. If you show them hard work, you'll create a child who pushes him or herself constantly and doesn't settle when times get a little hard. It's a scary thought, but those who are around youth truly have that much power. Be someone who'd you want your kid to be like. Don't be careless around young children. Even the smallest lack of concern can impact a child for the rest of his/her life. Help build the kid into someone that he/she can be proud of. Being a positive role model for the youth is invaluable.

Little eyes are always watching. Tread carefully. Care about them. Love them. Support them. Be someone worth emulating. :)

Go do good things,

BT
