Although Mr. Wright often tells his children about the importance of donating time and money to charitable causes, he rarely does so himself. He believes that this hypocrisy will not rub off on his children, however, as long as he has plausible excuses for his lack of charity. Use your understanding of learning processes to explain how Mr. Wright's children are likely to be affected by their father's behavior. What advice would you give to Mr. Wright?

Children are very aware of their surroundings and the actions of the adults that surround them. This situation is a perfect example that Mr. Wright should practice what he preaches. If he is always stating to his children the importance of donating to charitable causes, then he should be the first to do it to give the example. Children try to follow the example of their parents and if their parents don't follow their actions then they most probably won't do it either. If you want a change on your children then be the change they are seeking, and show them how things needs to be done for good.
