As adults, we have more knowledge and experience than children, and by consistently demonstrating proper behavior, we can influence and guide them in the right direction. This helps children understand and internalize the expected standards of behavior, fostering their social and emotional development. Additionally, modeling appropriate behavior creates a safe and respectful learning environment, where children feel supported and encouraged to emulate positive actions.
