Children want to mimic adults. They notice when you choose to prepare fresh vegetables over calling in another pizza pie for dinner. They will see that food made with love and care outweighs going through the drive-through window.
Interpretation
Children learn by observing adults and their choices, especially regarding health and nutrition.
This quote highlights the importance of setting a positive example for children, particularly in relation to food choices. When adults prioritize fresh, home-cooked meals over convenience options like fast food, children recognize the value of nutrition and the love and care that goes into preparing healthy meals. This observation shapes their attitudes toward food and health, underscoring the influence of adult behavior on a child's development and choices.

Online education, then, can serve two goals. For students lucky enough to have access to great teachers, blended learning can mean even better outcomes at the same or lower cost.

Within the confines of the lecture hall, no other virtue exists but plain intellectual integrity.
Syntax, my lad. It has been restored to the highest place in the republic.

Or do they furnish their children with arguments for the defense of that faith? ...it is not surprising to see them abandon a position which they are unable to defend.
