Children will imitate a person's behavior, so we need to make it a positive, pro social one.
Some examples of pro social behaviors are accepting and respecting others' feelings, verbally and physically comforting others, expressing strong emotions in acceptable ways, helping others, and showing affection. One scenario of this would be a kid dropping his pencil and another kid picking it up for him. The kid who dropped his pencil would show great affection towards the kid who picked the pencil up for him by telling him thank you and being very nice towards him.
Direct guidance involves nonverbal and verbal actions. Nonverbal actions include facial gestures such as eye contact, a smile, or a surprised look. These gestures can express many feelings ranging from sadness and disapproval to approval and reassurance. One scenario of direct guidance through nonverbal actions is somebody doing something mean to somebody else and the other person glaring at him and making a certain hand gesture.
Indirect guidance involves outside factors that influence the behavior of a person. A scenario of this would be a company that has many machines working well, and many people working well, makes the facility easier to supervise and control.
