The conclusion of the above is applicable to both parents and educators. Do we want our children’s first innocent impressions of the world to be in front of a TV or the Internet in which they are exposed to violence and inappropriate relationships? Are teachers careful how they address students and do they truly realize that their words have enormous impact on their future? Are we always aware that our words and actions create tremendous waves of influence and indelibility on a child’s mind that will be the building blocks for their future?

It is an awesome responsibility. One that we must not take lightly.
