Why Our Example Matters: Kids Learn Rules from Us

Have you ever noticed how closely our kids watch us? I remember once, in a rush, I jaywalked across the street with my son. Later that week, I caught him doing the same thing—without even looking both ways. It hit me: our actions speak louder than any lecture. When we bend or break the rules, our children learn that it’s okay to do the same. If we want them to respect boundaries and understand consequences, it starts with us modeling that behavior every day. Our choices become their lessons. What examples are you setting for your kids?
