“Our children are watching how we live far more that they are hearing what we say. They are learning how to live by our choices, not by our words.” – L.R. Knost

A study conducted by Pew found that 72% of parents wanted their parents to view them as a good parent.

According to research published in Pediatric Institute Publications, babies and toddlers learn by observing adults, even when those adults aren’t intentionally trying to teach them anything.

Infants and toddlers are the world’s best “copy cats.” Young adolescents pick up from their parents, nurses and even from viewing television.

You are your youngster’s very first Professor!

According to research conducted at Temple University and the University of Washington, and published in PLOS One, babies observe and learn to imitate the bodily movements of their parents as they perform certain actions. Information garnered from brain scans used during the research shows that a baby sees the adult using her hand or foot, for example, which produces a response in the sensorimotor cortex of the baby’s brain that helps him learn to copy the behavior.

Parents largely influence their children’s behavior.

Adolescents are like sponges--they model everything a parent does and assimilate what they see into their own lives.

A volume of investigations recommend that parents who are committed, nurturing, and lively with their infants have adolescents with higher IQs, as well as better linguistic and cognitive capacities

As Psychological Science notes, how a child deals with failure and hardship is an effective predictor of his or her growth and intelligence. 

Antisocial children pick up their behavior from their parents’ examples, according to research done by the University of Chicago published in the Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology

The approach a parent disciplines greatly influences their children’s behavior, as explained on FamilyDoctor.org

Think back to when you were a youngster.

Young Children come to see themselves through the eyes of their parents. The way you speak to her is the way she speaks to herself.” – Rebecca Eanes and Laura ling (Positive Parenting in Action)

Did you like it when your parents were supervising? Or did you choose to be trusted? Now think about how it goes through, as an adult, to be supervised and not to be trusted.

Good parents are constantly thinking about the future of their children and how to support them become fruitful in life. They are constantly thinking about how to bring food on the table, how to give good education, good clothes for their youngsters, thinking always to ensure good health, and their children become better and continue well in life than they ever did. That’s the heart of every good parent. 

As excellent parents, excellent leaders are constantly thinking about the future of the individuals.

Good leaders speculate about the future of every individual team member and every individual family working with him.

Psychologist Robert House outlined in his leadership Path-Goal Theory that if you want your staff to achieve their goals, you need to help, support and motivate them.

Just as a perfect parent helps create a path for their child to succeed, the same is true of an outstanding leader in the business world.

As the leader of your family, you must first maintain yourself accountable that you are concentrated on the appropriate features.

One of the key elements in leadership according to Warren Bennis is knowing yourself.

In his book, On Becoming a Leader Bennis states;

“Everything we did or saw, everyone we ever encountered, is in our heads. But all that psychic baggage can be turned into comprehensible and useful experiences by reflecting on it.”

For the sake of your children, you have to become an outstanding leader. Being a good parent is much like being a good leader.

So that you become follower and role model for your children at home and at office.

“I believe that the best way to inspire a quality, or even a habit, in our kids is to cultivate it in ourselves. This means that, parenting is a constant journey of learning and growth, of looking outward, toward my children, to see the areas in which I need to work at improving myself.” – Hannah Guari Ma
