Neena Gupta on Children Learning Through Parental Example

Imagine you're trying to teach a little kid how to build with blocks.

You can tell them exactly what to do, like 'put the red block on top of the blue block.'

But, the kid might not really listen to all your words.

Instead, they watch what you do with your own hands!

If you playfully knock down a tower, they might think that's fun too.

If you show them how to carefully stack the blocks, they'll probably copy that.

Neena Gupta realized this when her daughter pointed out that she herself sometimes shouts.

It made her understand that kids are always watching us, learning from how we act at home and with everyone, not just from what we say.

So, parents need to be careful and show good examples.
