Answer 1

Never allow someones lack of parenting alter how you parent. Be consistent

Firm Boundaries, and when rules are broken, strict consequences.

Don't just teach manners, demand them

Answer 2

spend a lot of time talking with your children about right and wrong. it all starts with good manners at home with please and thank you. last year i started my children donating things for the less fortunate children. we go through their toys, books, etc... and for every 2 or 3 things they keep, they put 1 in the donation basket (it is in good condition). this way we get a control on what they have and they in turn help the children that want toys and books but are unable to get them. especially during the holidays, we go to the town hall and see what people are asking for and bring the list home. we go through it and see what we have at home. we also set an amount and go get some things and we do it as a family. we talk to them and explain that just because we have things doesn't mean others do. this year we decided to volunteer as a family and let the children see what it means to have things and help those that don't to hopefully make a little difference.
we always stress that it is very important to treat others the way you want to be treated. no matter how someone looks, we are all people with feelings. treat others with respect and in turn hopefully you get the same respect back.
my daughter came home crying the other day because some of the children in her class were making fun of her because she is friends with a boy that is a learning disablility. he is in first grade but leaves the school with the kindergarten class my daughter is in. he goes with them because they are guided out and he tends to wander. my daughter knew him because he is friends with my son. she holds his hand as they walk out the building. i asked her if she wanted to be friends with him and she said yes that she likes him. i told her it doesn't matter what the others were saying just how you feel about him. she went back the next day and said to the others that she doesnt care what they say she is going to be friends with him and they have left her alone so far. i teach my children it is not ok to make fun of anyone because they do know how it feels and they don't like it so they remember how it feels and dont do it even if others do.
we also talk about what would happen if they break the law and have visited a police station and they talked about both children and adults.

Answer 3

Model good morals, set the standards clearly, state the consequences of inappropriate choices clearly, follow through with consequences, and most importantly, do all of these things with unconditional love.

It is a parent's job to make themselves obsolete, so that by the time the child is grown they can be equals, not superior and subordinate: to teach and guide and motivate a child properly for 18 years so that by the end of those 18 years, a child is able to act independantly with ethics, principles and standards that will improve his or her sphere of influence in the world...

Answer 4

Teach them about truth, cause and effect, real consequences that match real circumstances as well as real rewards that come from obedience and caring about how what each person does affects other people, like the ripple effect. depending on the child's age and reasoning abilities; keep it age appropriate and always be honest, modeling with caring and compassion, see how this is right and this is wrong...but keep it in perspective...people have choices and some people choose based on the consequences rather for themselves rather than the larger picture of how things affect everyone.

Answer 5

You need to expose him to people less fortunate than you. Volunteering, and helping people is the key. Never talk ugly around him and when exposed to violence, make sure he understands that it is wrong. Also expose him to culture and books. Experience to different thing with no bias helps a lot to make someone non-judgmental.

Answer 6

BE A GOOD EXAMPLE TO THEM!!

Live your life in the manner in which you expect them to live theirs. Talk to them about life's choices and consequences and standing up for what is right. Set high expectations for thier behavior and enforce your rules.

Answer 7

Children learn best by example. They mimic their parents as much as possible. As long as you show your children through example what it is to be a good adult, they should be fine. Also be sure to praise whenever possible and punish any bad behavior.

Answer 8

Bring them up in church.
You choose the church.
There is only one God.

Answer 9

Demonstrate with your shining example!
