Bob Keeshan Quotes

I love being the person my kids depend on to learn. Everything they learn, for the most part, comes from you - how they treat people, how they look at the world, how they process things. I love being that example for them, just like my parents were for me.

Kids are great imitators. Give them something great to imitate.

The parents have not only to train their children: it is of at least equal importance that they should train themselves.

Parents should be the most important examples for their children.

But I think role models also start in the home with your parents.

With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us. We as parents are their most important role models.

My parents have a great role in inculcating values in me.

My dad made a huge impact on me in terms of right and wrong.

I never had a speech from my father 'this is what you must do or shouldn't do' but I just learned to be led by example. My father wasn't perfect.

I'm very proud of the way that I was raised, I'm very proud of the way that my parents raised me.

I don't think kids should have role models. They're disastrous.

Children learn much more from how you act than from what you tell them. There are times this worries me - we parents are rarely the role models we want to be. True for life. True for driving.

Children are natural mimics who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners.

The child becomes largely what it is taught; hence we must watch what we teach it, and how we live before it.

My parents are definitely my biggest role models.

I wish parents at the end would think a little bit about how everything we do affects the lives of our kids and defines who they're going to be.

Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk.

One of the things that I learned at a very young age is the power of a parent's words to their children.

My parents never sat down to teach me anything; they lived exemplary life to set a lesson for me.

I appreciate my parents for everything they instilled in me and my brothers.

My parents were definitely the biggest influence in my life.

As a child, you are influenced by your parents' actions.

Even if society dictates that men and women should behave in certain ways, it is fathers and mothers who teach those ways to children not just in the words they say, but in the lives they lead.

I'm not a role model. I say parents should parent and monitor their kids.

For only as we ourselves, as adults, actually move and have our being in the state of love, can we be appropriate models and guides for our children. What we are teaches the child far more than what we say, so we must be what we want our children to become.
