Hey Everyone!!
Children are like soft clay—whatever impressions you put on them, good or bad, leave a mark. Their minds are fresh, curious and absorbent, picking up new ideas and behaviours faster than adults do. But there’s a universal truth every parent, teacher and elder notices: children often catch the wrong things more quickly than the right ones. A single rude word, a careless action or an unhealthy habit can stick with them far more easily than a good lesson or a kind gesture.
This isn’t because children are naturally drawn to bad things; it’s because negative or exciting behaviours usually appear more dramatic, more interesting and therefore more memorable. If a child hears an argument at home, they may repeat the tone or words. If they see someone being dishonest, they may try copying it out of curiosity. Their young minds don’t yet fully understand consequences, so imitation happens before reflection.
That’s why it is so important to carefully watch what children are exposed to—what they watch on TV or online, what music they listen to, the conversations happening around them and even the way adults react to everyday situations. Children learn not just from what you teach but from what you model. If you want them to be respectful, kind and responsible, they need to see those qualities in action.
This doesn’t mean controlling every second of their lives; it means creating an environment where good values, positive habits and healthy entertainment naturally outweigh the harmful ones. Encourage them to watch educational shows, listen to uplifting music, read good books and interact with people who inspire them. At the same time, gently explain why certain words, actions or content aren’t good for them, so they learn to make better choices on their own.
A child’s mind is like a garden. If you plant good seeds and remove weeds regularly, it will grow beautifully. But if harmful seeds take root, they are harder to remove later. By being mindful today, you shape not just their habits but also their character for tomorrow. Always remember: they are watching, listening and learning, even when you think they aren’t.
