LeBron’s Departure Great Reminder: Kids Are Going to Take Their Cue from Us

I have written recently in this space about social learning theory and the importance for parents, teachers and coaches of remembering that kids learn as much (if not more) from what we do than from what we say.  Connie Schultz’s column in this week’s Plain Dealer, “Clevelanders Need to Act Like the Grown-ups in the LeBron James Saga,” offered a wonderful example of level-headed moral leadership in the face of disappointment, in the person of Dr. Shelley Senders, a wonderful Cleveland-area pediatrician.  Check out Connie’s column and Dr. Senders’ open letter to this son.
