Moral A good role model has high moral values. Research conducted by developmental psychologist Marilyn Price-Mitchell and reported on her website, Roots of Action, found that children respect those who practice what they preach.
Role models who support worthwhile causes and who are willing to act on their beliefs help children develop and strengthen their own values. One of the first things children learn is how to talk to others.
If they see the adults who are close to them treat others in a demeaning way, children will likely do the same. It is not enough to tell children that it is important to respect others. They need to see how it is done. Life-long learning means to be interested in many aspects of life, whether it is music, outdoor sports, current events or plumbing. When children see that their parents show interest and sometimes proficiency in many things, they get the courage to get out of their comfort zone and explore other activities.
They can become more hopeful about their own future when they see someone else that they look up to doing productive and helpful things for themselves and others. The role model may already be physically active on their own. However, a positive role model could try to actively engage their child ren in some form of physical activity several times a week.
Children do not need to play vigorous sports regularly unless they want to. A daily walk, bike ride, climbing activity, or game of tag is beneficial for their confidence, self-esteem, and health.
