- A positive behavior could be: Eating healthy foods. Children that are given healthy foods, will more than likely grow up to have a healthy diet.
- A negative behavior could be: Parents or caregivers who often use bad language. Children will learn that bad language is the right language.
- A negative behavior could be: Parents or caregivers who use tobacco products. Children will learn that using tobacco products will not harm them.
