constantemente
All I can think of is "....who show the child different ways of being consistent with oneself" but for me something is missing.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Luis Vasquez
: The wording in Spanish is obviously a mistake due to confusing the adverb: constantemente with the adjective constante. And, no it does not mean constantly. Kind regards, Mr. Ables

Tenacious
Aquel niño es muy constante. That child is rather tenacious.

Ray Ables
: You're wrong about this. It's saying adults constantly model behaviour to children. Tenacious does not fit at all in this context. Regards.

Well, I might have confused the context from an adulthood to childhood, but your are missing the point, the source language is mistaken. Let us wait and see what our peers have to say. Warm Regards

| disagree |
Neil Ashby
: Why would the parents (or care-givers) teach the child different ways of being tenacious? I think tenacity is probably a problem the child already has and doesn't need to be taught.// Yes the source is less than exemplary, hence the question I imagine.

Yes, you are right Neil, but look at context in Spanish. would you agree that the word constantemente is not used, or at least placed in the right position?

Ok, is the word constantemente being used appropriately? i.e. is the right syntaxis in Spanish being used? I think it is not.
