Children take after us whatever we do they want to do. If Dad is playing on the computer his little guy wants to try it, and if Mom is washing dishes he wants to try that also. Children learning role models are extremely important to the development and personality of the child. Toddlers will be able to pick up the good, but they will also pick up the bad.

Arguing and fighting in front of a child is not good at all it can have bad effects on them as they are growing up. If you have noticed in extreme situations that children who have been abused physically or emotionally can grow up to become abusers themselves. This is not a pleasant road for any child to travel. Even simple arguments between parents can leave the toddler feeling insecure and scared. In marriage arguments are usually inevitable, but they can be taken into another room. Infants can even feel the tension when people fight.

Language also plays a huge part in young children learning. No one really wants a 2-3 year old that has the mouth of a truck driver. Words will slip out on occasion, but this can be easily fixed by explaining right and wrong: that this was a bad word. When a toddler first speaks a bad word it will make some laugh, but it could be a pattern that needs to be undone.

It is essential as role models in children learning that good habits are shown. These habits can include safety: putting things away, locking doors, and etc. Promote learning games, and educational games. Discipline: picking up messes, staying on a good sleep schedule, eating healthy, and following a good routing every day.

We have learned from generations of our ancestors, and following good structured guidelines will help our children to succeed in the future. Building the self esteem and structure of a child at an early age will definitely lead to many great things for them.
