🧒 How can parents play a role in instilling good habits in children (such as reading on time, discipline, politeness)?

In installing good habits in children parents need to:

• live an exemplary life so that the children will see them as role models and learn from them. This has to do with dressing, eating habits, how to talk, etc.
• Parent needs to be deliberate in teaching their children.
• Call the children to order when they are wrong. Parent must rebuke, scold and correct their children anytime they do wrong and never conclude that they will change when they grow.
