Moral Values

As a parent, it is given that you only want the best for your children. So before you die, here are some values that you have to teach them. How your children think and act are actually a reflection of how you raised them. Remember that it is your duty and responsibility to raise them in a good and healthy environment so they can be better citizens. 

1. Respect 
   Respect for oneself and others is very important. You have to teach your children how to respect themselves, other people, and everything else around them. They should know how to respect the elderly, the people in authority, their peers, and even strangers. This includes knowing how to control themselves and not say or do anything that might hurt others. 

In addition, they should have respect for every creature. You have to teach your child not to hurt or torture animals. You also have to teach them to respect Mother Earth by not littering or destroying plants. If you teach your children about respect as early as now, they will grow up to be respectful people who care about the wellbeing of others, not just themselves. 

2. Obedience 
   Obedience does not occur naturally in many people. In fact, a lot of people like to disobey rules because it makes them feel powerful. They feel that they are in control. If you want your children to be obedient, you need to train them early on. Educate them about the pros and cons of being obedient. Tell them about the possible consequences of disobeying the rules and reward them for good behavior. 

For example, you can tell your children that if they disobey their parents or teachers, they can be in trouble. They can get punished and humiliated in front of their peers. They are also no longer likely to be trusted again by their elders because of their disobedience. Moreover, when they grow up and they do not obey the laws, they can get incarcerated. Then again, you should not forget to teach your children how to differentiate reasonable obedience and gullibility. 

They should know when to say ‘no’. For instance, if someone tells them to perform an unlawful act, such as stealing or destroying public property, they should know how to disobey. If an older person asks them to lie for them, they should know how to say ‘no’. Being obedient involves knowing the difference between right and wrong. Before they agree to do something, they should know first whether it is right or wrong to do so.
