I dont know about everyone else but when my kids were small I made them say yes mam and yes sir to me and to ther elders.My kids are teens and still do.I wante my children to grow up to be very respectful young men and women but I dont see to much of that anymore.I was just wondering what values everyone else instilled in their kids when they were small?
The values our children develop are largely the values they observe in their home. If you as parents give them role models to emulate as they develop, it kind of takes care of itself.
I agree.I have always respected my elders and I still say yes sir to my father and I am 33 years old.I just think that kids are a reflection of their parents and i was a wild one growing up but i knew that I wanted better for my kids and so far so good.Two of mine will be 18 in less than 4 years so i think I have done a good job.the teachers at school are always telling me they never hear yes sir or yes mam anymore so it is nice when my kids say it.Church is the same way the precher told me he wished that he heard it alot more often form other kids and i think it is a shame that in socirty today people dont care.I always have and always will and someday I will be a grandma and when I am my grandkids will have to say yes mam to me and yes sir to my husband too.
I agree with all that is said here, but if you do not teach your children while they are small, they will never get it. Too many children grow up with sitters, and learn their values from them. I,m not saying that sitters are a bad thing, but if you want your children to know your values, you have to teach them yourself.
I agree with what everyone is saying here. My middle son, 25, told me the other day that he cannot believe that other people his age and his brothers age don't have any manners. My boys range from 24 to 28. I taught them when they were small and it still continues to this day. They did not keep all I taught them but they are still gentlemen.
You are a great parent parent if your instill morals and values in your kids and if you dont teach them anything positive then you are just setting them up for failure on down the road.I see it alot kids who are just rude,have no manners and the parents dont really care and thats whats wrong with society right now.
I have three boys. I think the morals come from the home and a loving heart. Teach respect for other peoples hearts and treat them as you would want to be treated. A lot of love shown in your home.
