I heard this story from Mum. When my niece was about 11 months old, she was crawling around on the floor and found a piece of string and was playing with it. Then she wrapped the string around her fingers and took it to her mouth and pretended to floss her teeth.
Miss Ruthie always says to model the behaviour you want to see in your children. I doubt that my niece will ever need to hear a lecture on the importance of proper dental hygiene. Nor will she need to know the importance of reading or spending time together as a family. All those things are modeled to her. Everyday, consistently.
Kind of makes you think about patterns and behaviour and choices....
