Mirror Mirror on the Wall...
Perhaps there is nothing more beautiful than the reflection of trees in water. It brings a sense of peace and harmony and replenishes the soul.
I wonder how many of us realize that we see reflections each and every day at home as we ourselves are reflected in our children. Of course parents aren't responsible and accountable for all their children are and do. But how many times a day do we see a look, gesture, or act and hear phrases and intonations that exactly match our own? Each day I hear and see myself in my children and am determined to strive to make those reflections ones of which I'm proud.
Children are like little mirrors and reflect what they see and hear. Parents are not totally responsible for these reflections but I hope we make sure that at least our part of the reflection is beautiful.
Children are like little mirrors

I can say as someone who studied psychology that this is true. Much of how we act in relationships as adults we learn first with our family. Young children look to adults to see how to act in the world. You can't control everything, but you can set a good example and help them navigate their social relationships.
I agree with you that parents aren't totally responsible but that we need to be good role models from day one. For some reason or other children learn bad things from just one exposure but need hundreds of exposures to learn positive behaviors. :)
