Wayne Dyer Quotes

You can't say one thing and behave another way. Kids learn more from watching you in life than what you say to them.

I've learned something about kids - they don't do what you say; they do what you do.

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

The parent who tries to train without setting a good example is building with one hand, and pulling down with the other.

What we are teaches the child far more than what we say, so we must be what we want our children to become.

The only thing of value we can give kids is what we are, not what we have.

Teach not with your words, but with your actions; not with discussion but with demonstration. For it is what you do that your children will emulate, and how you are that they will become.

Living by example - that's always a better teacher than trying to preach.
