Kids learn and adapt to the behavior of their parents and your child is no different. Parents are the first role model in a child's life. Since each child is different, every parent should adjust accordingly. They have to be responsible in raising their children and make them good citizens for future. Once your child has learnt to identify character strengths in others, you need to be careful about what kind of role models they are exposed to.
