Answer 1

well i may be young but i think lovin them is the key caring for them

Answer 2

I think you need to be a good person and they will follow suit. I'm sure I've made my share of mistakes, but I try to show that there is more to life than getting everything you want. I believe in teaching children to care for others, to do good deeds and charitable works. I also try to teach compassion, empathy and things like that. Sometimes I think I'm doing a great job and sometimes I feel like a failure, but overall I think it's turning out ok. My oldest is 10 and I'm worried about peer pressure. Seeing my friends and h.s. peers and seeing which ones went down the road to drugs and other problems, some had crazy homes and some had great parents. Friends are probably about 75% of what makes or breaks a kid and you have to steer them in the right direction.

Answer 3

As a parent, we have the responsibility of showing our kids the right path. The way you execute this role changes as the children grow older. The key concern should be to enable our children to cope with the challenges life throws up.... whether it is doing well in studies and sports, not yielding to negative influences, or being a well-adjusted human being. Being honest and open with children, sharing your own strengths and weaknesses with them and showing them that you are making an effort to improve yourself each day..... these are things that will make the child apply the same to his/her own lifestyle at a later stage. Happiness is accepting ourselves as we are and knowing that we can improve.

besides all that, I do not believe in ROLE MODELS outside the family. DO NOT compare your child to "role models" ("see Joann, she is such a godd girl", or look at the way james behaves. how wonderful he is can't you be like him?") these are WRONG.
YOU should be the role model to your child. "BEHAVE THE WAY YOU PREACH".
If you teach your child not to curse, don't do that yourself.
Radicalism in teh Middle East? If by that you mean the way Israelis educated their children, for example, by THE BOOK, than that is a good "radicalism". (see Proverbs where it says that one who does not use the staff to educate his child, actually hates the child...)

Answer 5

The key is to raise socially well-adjusted children. Research the subject on the internet and you'll find books and seminars.

I know it sounds hokey, but I think if more people raised their kids around the good, old-fashioned "Golden Rule" ("Do unto others as you'd have done unto you"---remember it? It really works.) we'd be a lot better off.

Answer 6

Do your best to be wise, consistent, flexible, and know that there no garruntees.

Remember that the society is competing for your child by every means, which can unwittingly include you.
