Teaching Values and Ethics to Children

It is a great responsibility on parent’s shoulder to teach their kids values and ethics so that they grow up to be responsible moral citizen of the country. Teaching your child about these issues require patience. Kids may be tempted to do something that may be immoral or unethical. The idea is not to punish them but to make them understand how certain behavior is undesirable.
As a parent, you should be able to control your temper and understand the mentality of your child.Giving them love and respect along with teaching them good values can make your child a good individual. However, it is important that this process is started at an early age. Motivate your child to be honest, to respect elders, to be kind, to not steal and lie etc. As a parent you should follow what you preach. Being a good parent comes with certain responsibilities that you ought to follow.Instilling core values in our children is necessary. Be it school or home, children need to understand good work ethics. Being an overtly strict parent can hamper your child’s growth. At the same time being extremely liberal also does not help. What is necessary is to become their role model. Children emulate to a great extent. So the key lies in being an ideal parent who practices what he/she preaches.Children are continuously listening and watching what the surrounding offers them. Hence it should be the responsibility of every member in the family to teach good moral lessons to your children. Building strong character and moral values in your child helps to bring about inner security self-confidence in them.

THE ART OF PARENTING ......

This is continued from the previous post,

Children are not property:

The starting point of raising super kids is to realise that your children are not your property. Your children belong to themselves. They are a gift to you from high above, and a temporary gift at that.

You tell your children that they have been sent to you by God, and that your job is to love them and take care of them until they grow up. You treat them as if they are precious gifts loaned to you for only a short time. Your job is not to make them conform to your expectations, but to encourage them to develop their own uniqueness and individuality.

Each child is unlike any other and comes into this world with his or her own agenda, with his or her own special talents, interests and abilities. What your child can and will become, no one can possibly know until much later. The child's job is not to conform to his or her parents' expectations, but to grow and flower and become everything he or she is capable of becoming.

When you celebrate and encourage the special nature and personality of your child, he or she grows like a flower in the sunshine. But if you try to get your child to be something he or she is not, your child's spirit will wither, and his or her potential for happiness and joy will shrivel like a leaf on a tree in autumn.

The law of correspondence states that your outer world of relationships will mirror your inner world of thought, and your true personality. What your children are and what they become will be very much a reflection of who you are as a person.

THE ART OF PARENTING


I was reading a book called Maximum Achievement by Brian Tracy. He explains many wonderful things in this book. He explained the art of parenting in this book in detail. I am writing some of the important points .



The Art of Parenting:

The most important and enduring relationship that you ever enter into begins when you bring a child into the world. The impact of your parenting can affect your child and your children's children for generations. Parenting is the most profound responsibility of an adult.
The True role of parenting: The most important single role of parenting is to love and nurture your children and to build in them feelings of high self-esteem and self-confidence. If you raise your children feeling terrific about themselves, if you bring them up full of eagerness to go out and take on the world, they you have fulfilled your responsibility in the highest possible sense. Conversely, if you give your child everything of a material nature but raise him/her lacking of self-confidence and self-esteem, you have failed in your primary role.
The growing child develops a healthy personality in direct proportion to the quality and quantity of love it receives. Just as a plant needs sunshine and rain, a child needs love and nurturing.

Parents want the very best of their children. They want to raise their children to be happy and healthy. Why is it then that so many children grow up feeling insufficiently lover? Why is it that parents somehow deprive their children of the love they require for healthy growth?

Why parents don't love enough?
There are two major reasons for the failure by parents to love their children enough. First, the parents do not love thremselves. Parents with low self-esteem have great difficulty giving more love to their children than they feel for themselves. Second, the parents don't love their children enough is they often have the mistaken notion that their children exist to fulfill their expectations. A major cause of friction between parents and children is the parents' feeling or perception that the children are failing to 'measure up' to what the parent expect them to be or do.

Many parents look upon their children as chattel, as a form of property. They feel their children are behaving properly only when they are doing and saying what their parents want them to do. If the child's behavior differs from the parents' expectations, the parent responds with criticism. Without planning to do, they withdraw their love and approval from the child. They step on their child's emotional lifeline. The child feels unloved and the foundation is laid for personality problems later in life. All negative or antisocial behavior is a cry for help, an attempt to escape the feelings of guilt, anger and resentment that begin with criticism early in life.
