What are some morals parents need to teach their children?

Question

I need to write a book, just a small children's book, and i need to have a moral incorporated in it, but i can't think of one except don't talk to strangers. Any ideas?

Answer 1

no sex until marrage. and to live a godly life doing all things to the glory of God.

Answer 2

Having morals is being able to determine right from wrong. Having good morals is having an established standard for good behavior. Morals arise from the conscience but the principal can be taught from a story or event.

So if you're looking for an example of what parents teach their children take a long hard look at what your parents taught you. What a good way to show them (thru your project) that you've listened to what they were saying.

Examples: The 10 Commandments for starters..... and another, would you stand by and watch someone get bullied or step in and help.

The list goes on and on and on....

Answer 3

Parents are using less physical punishment,
but permissive parents could be doing something more harmful

Kids learn from the environment they experience using their parents guidance as role models and teachers. We as a society have created an environment which is teaching our kids the wrong things. Today's parents may not be hitting their children, but they are giving in when the child argues for things. It is teaching them that we get everything without doing anything, and that if we argue, that’s how we get what we want. It’s human nature to want more things, but we need to teach our children the proper way to get them, so that they build self esteem and kids growing up to become functioning adults in society. .

Growing up is tougher than ever before,
being raised in a society which is teaching dysfunctional behavior

In today's competitive world of over-worked, over-stressed parents, a lot of parents are buying love with material things and money,instead of spending time with their children and playing and listening to them. In a lot of families, communications has broken down between the parent and the child. Parents are often feeling guilty and are getting frustrated which makes them more likely to overindulge their children.

Answer 4

My favorite: If you don't have something nice to say then don't say anything at all.

Children also need to learn that honesty is the best policy.

You could teach them about respecting other people's property, not telling secrets, how teasing hurts feelings, being polite and using manners, respecting your parents - when they are the telephone, when they ask you to do something you do it right away, tell them the truth, etc.

Good Luck. SD

Answer 5

Morality and morals from a book are two very different things. It looks like you're asking for a lesson to put into the book. Dont talk to strangers is a good one. Be polite, listen to mommy and daddy, dont interrupt, dont fight with your brothers and sisters, sharing, doing homework, there are lots of things to choose from. Just think of the way you would like your children to act (if you have any). Or think of the things a child doesnt know but needs to learn. When you put your mind to it, youll come up with an endless list of possibilities!

Answer 6

Maybe you can write a book that teaches kids that the outside is not as important as what is inside. I have a six year old and it's amazing to see how appeareance is so important for kids nowadays. I was shocked. I keep trying to show my daughter different ways for her to understand that looking pretty is not enough, that it's more important to be nice, smart and stay in school to be successful in life.

Answer 7

One of my favorite morals is to Treat others like you would want to be treated. To not judge based on what a person looks like.
Treating others with respect can open the door for new and valuable friendships for life!

Answer 8

To accept everyone as they are different, but just because you accept them doesn't mean you have to be like them. What they do and how they act may not be right for you.

Mind your own business, keep your thoughts and opinions to yourself. Be nice, but don't be a fool. Don't loan or borrow anything. Never offer to do favors and don't ask for any. Don't go out with a guy who borrows money, (he'll always be borrowing money)
Watch your back. (People appear to be nice, but they have other motives) don't get into the car with anyone. Offer to drive and meet them somewhere) Don't stay over night at someones house.
Don't fall for scams, (never give account or other personal numbers over the phone or internet, people will lie to get to your money or bank account.
if in doubt call the company directly and ask them questions.

Always save ALL your receipts, bankstatements etc.
Keep legal papers at hand like birth certificate, insurance papers, lease, marriage, death, social security cards etc.

If a guy yells or hits at you, never go out with him, if he appears jealous and controlling don't go out with him. Marriage is an equal partner ship no one should "control" anyone. A man who says "I am the man" is one to stay away from, or one who is in love with his car, or seems to be all wrapped up in a sport is not the one for you. If a man doesn't call you often, that means he's not "into you" A good man will wait till your married, others won't want to. Many men are just trying out things, and don't want to be committed. Watch out for men!
