"Out of the mouth of babes..."

From Jake Aguas at Leading Christianly: "I recently asked a group of colleagues to name individuals whom they admired as leaders and received a list of some of the most well-accomplished people in business, sports and the entertainment industry. Donald Trump, Tom Brady and George Lucas emerged as the most popular choices. Contrast this with the responses I received when I asked a few children the exact same question. They were quick to point out their teachers, grandparents, parents, siblings, coaches and friends as their most-admired leaders."

If we only realized how children see the world then we may realize how much we influence the lives of our children.
