Children See, Children Do

When I received this video a couple year ago in an email from my sister, I watched with a lump in my throat. It is exaggerated and harsh, but it gives the viewer a very powerful message.

What do you get out of it? Do you view it as a role model? Are you a good one? How do you know? Do you view it as a child who chooses a role model? Are you choosing the right ones? How do you know?

When my own children make wrong choices, I ask them if their behaviour reflects who they want to become. This is usually enough to make them take a look around and realize that their choices define them.

I'm anxious to hear what you think about this one...
