Child Quote by Benjamin Nzuki
““To a child, whatever is being done by adults is good and worth imitating. Many children have embraced societal vices as they emulated adults, who do not even understand that children are learning from them. Those caring for children should make sure they do what is noble and trustworthy because they are unknowingly training them.””
