 One of the greatest roles we have when we spend our days with young children is to be a role model.&amp;nbsp; Far more than what we say, they absorb who we are and what we do.&amp;nbsp; They notice the small details in our interactions, and even whether what we say and do is in coherence.&amp;nbsp; They want to be like us, and so we have to ensure that we are worthy of being imitated.&amp;nbsp; We have to do the things we expect of them.&amp;nbsp; Kindness, calmness, presence - these are the essentials in our role model kit.
