Be a good example to children

I have being a children's teacher both in church and work for about 5 years now. I have being working closely with kids from the age of two to about eighteen. Its been a wonderful experience for me because they are phenomenal. I some times think that adults are deteriorated children. I have learnt a lot and am still learning a lot from them. If you want to be a great leader, look closely at children and you will see qualities that will marvel you.
One thing I have learnt from kids is that they are very eager to learn. They are teachable.
However, that wonderful quality can also make them susceptible to picking the wrong stuff; behaviours, belief, words and so on. What ever position and where ever you find yourself there are children in your circle of influence. What do they see when they look at you? Are you an inspiration to do good or an excuse to do evil. As parents, brothers, pastors, public office holders, teachers, there are children who see your actions. Children see, children do.
Our society is filled with children going on the wrong path not because they love it but because that is what they see their parents, teachers, pastors, governors and so on do. If we can teach them better, they will do better. When ever I see a pregnant woman, I believe that God has not given up on the human race.
We must teach our children in the school of example for they will learn in no other. It was John Maxwell who said, "We teach what we know but we reproduce who we are". People including kids don't want to follow your worlds, they want to follow your acts. I think that is why the bible has "acts of the apostles and not words of the apostles"  
We as parents, teacher, and the society at large can train our children any how we want but we can only train them once.
Children are assets, lets not make them liabilities
