Kids are like Sponges

Today in church I noticed how much little kids are like sponges that soak up all the information around them and replicate what they see. I was sitting in the pew behind two families with small children; probably all of the children were under the age of three. Anyway, one of the little boys was imitating our preacher's hand motions and words. It was so cute to see this little boy watch the preacher so intensively and copy his actions.

But today it just clicked in church while watching this little kid how important good children's literature and media for the children in our world today. Watching little kids learn about the world around them pushes me harder and stronger to be the best teacher in the world for them.
