I hear ya. Hence me saying I am sure they will say I sound like a broken record. But I am also confident that if we instill good habits that at some point in their life the lightbulb will go off and they will say "this is why mom and dad said or did this".

Proof of Work kids

Not an expert in raising kids but I feel like a lot of people resort to repetitive uses of mantras like you listed without their children actually taking it to hearth or actually understanding the meaning behind it.

I think "Words are not actions" is a brilliant example of this. Plenty of humans out that agree with this notion and think of themselves as following this but still being super passive in things they do

I don't have a better solution tho.
