The role models are people who we look up to for Inspiration or who we strive to be like. Parents tend to spend the maximum amount of time with their children and they can imprint the young minds by being ideal role models for their children. The children learn most from their parents and if the parents act as role models for their child it may help in shaping their child's future in a positive way.


" A Mother as a role model or a Father as a role model helps a great deal in shaping a child's future. "


Children not only take Parents and Caregivers as role models but also they take their role models from others also like Relatives, Teachers, Coaches and peers. Most of the children try to copy the behavior and appearance of the celebrities such as the Sportspersons, Actors, and the characters from the Books and the Videogames.
