Teach values and virtues through actions from "summary" of THE DAILY DAD by RYAN HOLIDAY
The way we live our lives matters. It’s not just about what we say or what we believe — it’s about what we do. Our actions are what teach our children what really matters. How we treat others, how we deal with setbacks, how we handle success — these are the things that shape our children's understanding of the world. Values and virtues aren’t just nice ideas to talk about. They’re principles to live by. And the best way to teach these principles is through our actions. Our children are constantly watching us, learning from us. They pick up on the way we treat people, the way we handle challenges, the way we show kindness and compassion. When we embody the values and virtues we want to instill in our children, we show them what it looks like to live a good life. We show them that these values aren’t just words on a page — they’re guiding principles that should be lived out every day. It’s not enough to just talk about honesty or kindness or perseverance. We have to demonstrate these qualities in our own lives. Our actions speak louder than our words. If we want our children to be honest, we have to be honest with them and with others. If we want our children to be kind, we have to show them kindness in everything we do. If we want our children to persevere in the face of challenges, we have to model that perseverance for them. Teaching values and virtues through actions isn’t always easy. It requires us to be mindful of how we’re living our lives, to be intentional about the example we’re setting for our children. But it’s worth it. Because when we lead by example, we give our children the best possible foundation for living a life of purpose and meaning.
