If as a parent you want to have peace of mind in the future it begins by investing quality time in the life of child and inculcating the right values that will be beneficial to your child as adult and would impact positively in his life.
There are numerous values that you should inculcate in your child but in this article i will limit it to only 5.
1.Being Respectful: Teach your child from an early age the importance of respecting people, this includes both those older than him and his peers.
A child who lacks respect is never anyone favourites. No one likes having around them a child who is disrespectful. Being respectful involves the way he speak to older one and his peers. He should learn to think before speaking and guide his tongue at all times.
Apart from speaking, he should learn that the way he treats people also matters and shows if he accords them respect.
2. Being polite: Being polite means using the right words and tone when speaking to people. He should learn not to talk to people in a commanding tone. He should use the word “please” especially when making a request.
Let your child know that being rude instead of being polite will do him no good. He would hardly get a helping hand if he is rude. People sometimes go out of their way to help others who have asked for a request in a polite way.
3. Saying Sorry: let your child understand the power of this 5 letter words. Teach your child to apoligize when he is wrong. Kids who have not been taught this grow up being arrogant and finding it difficult to apologize when they are wrong.
4. Being able to forgive others: yes children are known for being able to forgive their peers easily. If your child does not forgive easily then you must teach him to forgive others without holding back. Let him learn to forgive others even when they do not deserve it.
5. Helping others: This is a very important value. Teach your child to have empathy and help those in need especially if its within his power. Teaching him to be loving and kind towards peole regardless of their status or race.
Learning this values early in life will make him a better adult that you will be proud of.
These are indeed great values that one must teach ones child. A lot of adults behave abnormal because they lack these values right from when they were kids.
I wish my neighbour will come across this article. She has a bunch of mannerless kids
This days parents are busy chasing money and barely has time for their children and that is why we have a bunch of uncultured and mannerless children and adults
These applies to my neighbour.i feel pity for them.you can hardly see them spend time with their kids. They leave them in the hands of their careprovider. So disgusting all because of money.
The training of children takes grace. Some children after all the values been taught they still derail.its just grace and favour .
