A short YouTube clip (#shorts) where Mark Evans DM and another speaker discuss modeling positive behavior for children. Through anecdotes—paying for the person behind them at drive-thrus and mimicked household actions—they highlight that children copy observed behavior, so parents should be conscious of their actions, language, and attitudes.
What do we do every time we go through a drive thru, Mark? Pay for the person behind us. Yep. No matter what, these kids get excited. Like, dad, you're paying for the guy behind us, right? You're paying for the person behind us. And then they're rolling deep. They're buying $32 worth of taco Bell. Not that I ever go to Taco Bell. Right, Mark? Yeah. Shut the mic up. No, it's usually Dunkin Donuts or something like that, but you know. What are you teaching them again? Ed Mylett says it the best, right? They cat. You know, people catch. They don't. They're not taught. They catch it. Right? They catch what you're doing. They see what you're doing. Literally. Dean and I could be in a totally different house and I smack her on the butt. What do you do? They come running full steam ahead, right? Like stop and then do the same. Like they're so. They're watching all the time and knowing that. Like that's why we got to be conscious of how we're leading. We got to be conscious of what we're talking about. Conscious of what we're doing. Are you talking positive? Are you talking negative? Are you moving forward? Are you moving backwards?
