Can a parent spark positive traits and habits in their children that the parent does not have themselves?

It is possible to spark it, I suppose, but positive traits require discipline and cultivation. Cultivation comes in large part through imitation.
So I am required, as the parent, to model that positive trait, or, where I am deficient, to point them to someone else who models it well (a personal relationship within the broader family or community) that the children can imitate.
Yea, I agree. The best way is to provide a model of the trait that the child can imitate.
