About This Quote

This saying reminds me of the old saying, “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.” I always thought that the first way you teach someone was by example. If you are an honest, kind person, then your child will be honest and kind when they grow up. This is the only real way you can teach them. The second way is when you are an example to them.

If you always do the right thing, then your child will follow in your footsteps. The third way is by example. This is similar to the second way, but it means that your child sees that you have failed at something and that failure has made you stronger and wiser from that experience.

You can teach them by example by showing them how to do the right things even when it’s not easy or fun.
