"Remember, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be cunning as serpents and yet harmless as doves." (Matt 10:16)
A child's parents generally are the most influential part of his environment. Children do not always develop the qualities their parents believe they would like them to develop, but they invariably develop the qualities which the parents evoke.
Unfortunately most of this occurs on an unconscious level and parents never realize it is happening.
Children learn far less from words and far more from emotional states which surround them.
These little ones are like sheep being led by parents who don't realize that in what they do are being like wolves.
Children learn what they live - Dorothy Law Neite
