are how they are ...

Can you please explain why "how" is used in this sentence, and not "what"? Is the sentence correct in the first place?

"Our children are how they are because of how we raise them"

Thank you

The sentence is OK.

I think your sentence seems fine in the light of this one.

Our children speak politely (how they are) because we have always seen to it that they learn good behavior(how we raise them).

"Children are how they are because they have little experience of the world"?
Is "how" all right in this sentence? Yes.
