About This Quote
Children pay little attention to their parents' teachings, but reproduce their characters faithfully. People often think that children are unaware of the things that their parents teach them throughout their upbringing. This is not true. Children are very aware of what their parents teach them, and they remember it for the rest of their lives.
Children are basically clones of the people who raised them. They will act exactly like them, even if they dislike someone or feel hatred toward another person. It is impossible not to know what you were taught by your parents.
