children nowadays have too much exporsure, how to guide them for the correct lifestyle？?

Answer 1

Don't buy them everything they want. Don't let them have a computer. Don't watch TV. Create guidelines & don't let them be where you don't want them to be. That'll just show that you care.

And most important - show the example of your own life! You are the #1 model they are learning from even though you don't see it.

Answer 2

You have to use the experiences that you had as a child and know that a lot of what we had when we were growing up is not going to hurt our children today. We should raise our children the way that the Heavenly Father guides us to lead them. We should teach our children good moral values and let them know that they are loved no matter
what they do in life. We must let our children have freedom, but we can also limit the things that we allow them to do. Keep a watch on your children and teach them the things that you know will not cause them any harm. Like Gods word tells us, bring up a child in the way he should go, and he will follow and will not stray from it. This is God's way. Bring them up with strong Christian, Biblical principles. We were founded on biblical principles and we need to go back to biblical principles for our children to be able to survive in the ever changing society that we currently live in. The end is coming and if we are not ready for the return of Jesus ---woe be unto those who aren't ready. Pray for your children and guide them in Godly ways.

Answer 3

Listen First Children are carbon copies of us. If you do not go to chruch then do not expect the young one to go. If you smoke expect them to try it if not take it up. If you drink they will also try this. Share your experiences. You were once that age. You know the pressure on children the dares that are made and accepted each and every day. Get involved in something with them if that be basketball, football, hockey, dancing, or whatever. Set time that is stictly family time you your husband and your children can not let anything conflict with this time. This is the time to share fears, and what ever is effecting them. Do not jump all over them. Speak calmly and quietly. There is help around every corner.

Answer 4

Spend more quality time with your children and don't nag them. Tell them stories of good role models. Children look up to you when they are confused with all that exposure. When they ask embarrassing questions try and answer them like a consultant not like a parent. You need to educate yourself. Over the years they will respect you for being such a good friend and guide. Most important you should set a great example for them and lead your own life the way you expect them to live. Parents are powerful role models and can influence children and keep them safe. However plz don't be shocked if they do something you don't expect. Tell them firmly that you disapprove of their behaviour. Treat them like adults but don't expect them to behave like one. i know it is difficult but as a parent you are expected to bear it.

Answer 5

I'm a mother of two children and being honest with your child/children is the best policy. My husband and I have always encouraged our children to be inquisitive and ask as many questions as THEY need to and allow them to speak their minds within reason and with respect. The one thing that we have been constant about is not making them or encouraging them to mature to fast or at a pace that society says they have to. Limit television that's violent or explicit and encourage music....May sound like my kids must be so sheltered but they are world travelers that have interests ranging from classical flamenco guitar to underwater archeaology. They are considered the "cool" kids in town because they make their own choices and go against the norm. Raise them to think for themselves and to treat all people as they would like to be treated. Unfortunately children don't come with instruction booklets....what fun would that be and how boring everyone would be.

Answer 6

This world has changed so dramatically even from ten years ago. ten or twenty years ago if a child wanted to see porn they would have to steel it from there dad (if they r that kind of person) or they'll find a friend with a magazine. nowadays if a child wants to view porn they go on google and type it in.

i think we need to understand that kids have already been overexposed to bad content but now when they see it they arent bothered by it they think its normal. i remember i was watching a movie with my friend and his mom walked into the room and it was a very gory movie and she was disgusted but we werent bothered at all becuz that kind of content is all around us there is no way in todays modern world to filter out this content

Answer 7

There was a good article on this and I will post it. I think leading by example is a good one. You also have to understand that you are the parent and not the friend. Two very important and very different roles.
I worry about the same thing.

Answer 8

Take the televisions and computers OUT of their bedrooms. Start using that function that televisions, stereos, ipods, mp3 players come equipped with, it's called an OFF button. Set rules right from the start and don't back down.

Answer 9

Get them to church regularly and know everything that they are exposed to by talking. Education in the way the world works and open honesty gains their trust Just remember they hear and see more than you know so trust your teaching them right from wrong and hope for the best.

Answer 10

i think alongwith telling them about what you want them to be or what is right or wrong you shud be their friend and explain..,. dont restrict them because they might get rebilious and do it any way..
it may happen that if you stop them they might do something at there friends place..
well no one knows what the correct lifestyle is... a loving family care for one another... bloving with in the parameters of the family living with wat you can afford.. well for you and another family it would be the same baseline or ground line but the things may be different..
so talk and i guess never critize them.. u may hurt them and they may do something you dont want..
