问题     Researchers used to believe that a sense of real caring about others came as people grow into adulthood. But now studies are finding that children can show signs of empathy and concern from a very early age.
    According to a study by psychologists E. Gil Clary, Ph.D. and Jude Miller, Ph.D., there are two kinds of parental role modelling that help teach children to be caring: kindness to others, and kindness to the child. In other words, actions speak louder than words. If you are consistently caring and compassionate, it’s mom likely that your children will be too. Children watch their parents and other adults for clues on how to behave. Keep in mind that if you say one thing and do another, your children will pay a lot more attention to what you do. The old warning "Do as I say, not as I do" simply does not work particularly when it comes to teaching about being caring.
    Not everyone has time to devote to volunteer work or money to donate to causes, but there are small acts of care that can be part of your family’s life. These acts don’t have to be grandiose. Doing a favour for a neighbour, taking a stray animal to a shelter, giving money and a kind word to a homeless person, helping out when a group of teenagers are cruelly teasing a classmate; there are all kinds of small acts of compassion that your children can watch you do, and even take part in themselves.
    Try to surround your children with other people who are kind and caring, so that they have several role models. Another thing you can do is try to find organized ways for your children to get involved. Let them know about places in the community where they can volunteer, and encourage them to join. Many volunteer organizations and churches have special programmes for young people and even for children.
In this passage, the sentence "actions speak louder than words" means ______.
选项 A、what you do is more important than what you say
B、what you say is more important than what you do
C、what you say influences your children more than what you do
D、what you do influences your children more than what you say
