A parent is responsible to teach their children ( school aged ) from right and wrong to the best of their abilities so that each child may be able to understand that in the world we live in and the ways to better protect and guide them from the terrible dangers and bad influences which we live in....Loving Parents pledge to protect and guard their children from any harm that may endanger them.

One way how I see it is by setting a good example myself while my children look up to me, so I'm asking you to list some of the ways that parents can help be responsible for their child(ren) also ...
 
All I can really do is teach the children the path of life, Which meaning there are reality of crime and violence out in the society, Gotta have to watch their back, knowing when something doesn't seem right to them when not to participate in a bad group, Knowing when to say no to drugs/alcohol if they're been influence in any way possible. It's usually a bad idea to forbid your kids from hanging out with a certain crowd, because they have to be the ones to find out who they are now than before, seeing changing in themselves. They will realized that and will mostly make the right decisions to depart the bad crowd that they've been hanging out with. The more pressure we put on our kids the more would start pulling away from their parents. It's best to keep communication open, Which that is very important. Because, they would feel more comfortable talking to you, would come to you with anything. ;)
 
I believe the parents are the biggest and most important role models for the kids. And immediate- meaning we live together and we see each other every day and every night.

So I try to give best example by doing the right thing myself.
I do not swear, do not call my child stupid etc and if she does that to me I say Please do not talk to me like that, I do not say like that to YOU.
That works.
Of course life is not a bed of roses so unpleasant things do happen, but really as long as the parent is correct it has power.

Other than that I found out that giving choices works better than just forbidding, and asking for participation in some decisions help to reinforce discipline.

And always open for talk on any subject any time. I talk even if I am talking alone and she just listens..

Good thread here. Yes I´m agree with you all.


We parents show the quality of our relationship with our children is build their self-esteem. It would likely to feel good about themselves and also yourself as well when you guide your children what right or wrong.

To me, it´s important to consider how I can help to build my child´s self-esteem. For example, children are more likely to feel good about themselves (good behavior, manner, etc.) if you give positive something to develop their strength and healthy behavior instead of threat, keep on forbid, etc.

Important to let children know that I´m here for them to be good listener when they have problems.

Talk openly with them about about drugs, sex, crimes, etc, future education, etc. Why important etc......

Exactly! That´s what I tried to tell you at other thread.
 
Teach child(s)
Making sure to be try responbile Safety standard...
Advise right or wrong ways...
Explain simple til understand before go proceed.

Follow my rules as part of displince too.
 
I stress how important it is to treat each other. Whether
they are siblings or not. They understand that responsiblity
is so important in life. Taking care of "business." We talk about
smoking, drugs (they are too young for the sex talk) but most of
how our conversations are "smoking is bad for you..I agree..and tell
them why."

Respecting us as parents
Responsibility (cleaning up after themselves, bedroom/plates after dinner)
Attitude/Behaviour towards friends/teachers etc.
Beliefs (going to church, having a foundation on Gods Word).
Self Esteem (they can do anything they want, we will be there as parents to support them, guide them, and do whatever necessary to help them achieve their goals).

That is some of what I can think of now. I could probably list some more, but in our family that is so important.
 
Importance to give ur love and attentions to kids first.

To communicate to let them know ur there and listen whenever they need to open or vent.

To teach them right way and discpline if they re doing wrong.

Spend time each kids and have them do some chores to do on their responibiles.

If not work out, then have to reduce their routine, treats, punish.

Kids always come first...
 
Wow, you all share some great ones, and I agree that it's important to give each child love and attention, well said there SherryCherish
 
Well said, SherryCherish..

Children are very important and needs their attentions.
 
I have a nine years old daughter. I teach her the truth about what is really going on in this world. it shows that she have to learn the truth that life outside is not goodies goodies and shows her that it's very dangerous world. I have already explain to her about drugs, fact of life etc...coz she is already asking questions about it. She says that the school only teach her the basics of drugs not the hardcore of drugs etc..In Ireland the children of 8 years old started using drugs and having sex. We are very protective parents of our 3 daughters. I am sure alots of you are the same, being protective and rapping them in a blanket just to keeps them safe. But you know when they get older you have to let them go and let them have a life of their own. It sad in a way, coz i carry them for nine months and when they are born and they see alots of bad things happening in this world that they have to learn!! It just scary!!
 
Dee, yeah i understand. It would be my most fear in the early pre teen to teenages, and they into wrong peers! The importance, to teach ur kids, whats world is all about alike don't talk strangers, drugs is bad, sex, friendships. The facts, kids always "curious" around, and if they did tried it, don't get rage or about it, cuz they finally tell u the truth. Just try to talk to them into right thing than force comments. So they can easily to communicate w/ you further. Just best way to listen and try to control ur angry/upsets. Its hard part. So you will hve a good relationship with children. And they would feel that they could able to talk w/ parents about everything..
 
sherrycherish, good point.. i learn a lot from my group speech about effective communication.. u're so right always give your child loves, needs & attention and also be a good listener to ur child too when ur child is trying to communicate with you. Also be sensitive to your child too.

1. be sensitive and respond to your child
2. encourage and enjoy with ur child for example help them learn how to read, write, color , many diff things and have fun with ur child to help them encourage

3. education... read ur child a book daily for 5 to 10 minutes it will help child to develop the reading and what the book talks about.

4. Develop your child by doing for example ur child loves to talk to themselves which is ok because it helps them to focus on what they're doing and having good self images.

I enjoyed learning a lot from my group speech recently. it turned out great.

If you want more information go ahead and ask me :o)
