When his/her mother and father didn't respect themselves enough to be married before they had a child? What can those parents teach a child about commitment?

To :"ladybugewa" I hope that answered your question. In other words: I've been there, done that, bought the video, own the T-Shirt---and have rights to the movie. There isn't any word you can use to insult me that will phase me. I've been to hell and back---and without waivering from my convictions.

My Husband and I had our two children before we were married. We were married when our children were 3 & 4. It was great to have them as part of the ceremony. That is a lesson in commitment. At least we can say we got married for love, and not the children alone. And at least we can say we have gone through our hard times and still wanted to be a family instead of rushing in and getting divorced a few years later. Respect is in everything you do and say. Children learn by example. How do you teach children respect is a vague question. If I had to give an answer, I'd have to say - Love, Patience, and Effort.

I had a child before I got married. However I am now married (not to his father tho) with 2 more children. I have found that it is better for the child to see what is going on NOW instead of what happened in the past. Dwelling on past events does not help. I am showing my kids that even though I have made mistakes in my life, I can still have a loving committed relationship in marriage. How my husband and I work together now teaches our sons about committment. Even though my husband is not my eldest son's biological father he is my son's Dad and that shows more committment than any marriage and teaches him that blood relation is not required for love.

Of course. I recently was divorced by my wife because she met someone else, she let me take the kids and its working out wonderful. Both of my daughters are very respectful, not because I demand it or threaten them if they are not respectful but because I am respectful of others and I stand tall and proud. They don't know of their heritage but they will one day and I expect they will know more of honor, tradition and respect then most children do. Children act as they are taught by example, the best way for them to learn is by seeing their parents and family.

Hit them daily. Respect, fear...they're the same thing.
Children need to learn that they aren't real people yet and that their opinions do not matter. It sickens me how there are hardly any "parents" anymore. Every parent wants to be their child's best friend nowadays. It disguists me.

there is too much apathy in the world right now, parents have to be more strict than they are being nowadays from day 1. Well, maybe not day one, but like, year 1-1.5.

contained in united statesa., coaching toddlers to appreciate authority is sorely lacking. i understand as a determine, whilst my toddlers have been in school, there replaced into little or no appreciate for absolutely everyone in info. i think of, however, that the question must be "do we instruct our young toddlers to be in my opinion responsible?" mum and dad make the blunders of having their toddlers out of each and all of the worry the youngsters get into, as a replace of coaching their toddlers that each and each action has a result, the two for reliable or undesirable. I made particular that my toddlers discovered that lesson nicely - in the event that they did something in school (or someplace else), they have been held responsible for their strikes. They discovered quickly adequate.

That is so old fashioned.....
What matters is how your family unit interacts, if you are a "team", if you respect one another & how you interact in front of the child.
