Battle Creek Public Schools

This quote highlights the profound influence our adult behavior has on children. While our kids may not always heed our verbal advice, they are keen observers and will often mirror our actions and attitudes.  Reflecting on this quote invites us to consider the weight of our actions and the implicit lessons we teach through our behaviors and actions.   As adults, our actions are more powerful than our words and we collectively carry the responsibility to model integrity, compassion, and resilience for our kids.  Our actions serve as a powerful blueprint for the younger generation.  Baldwin's insight reminds us that the true legacy we impart may be less about what we say to our kids and more about the examples we set for them.
