Answer 1

It's the parents responsibility. Allowing the state to choose what is moral or not is way wrong.

Answer 2

Yes. Parents are HUGE. Some parents encourage their children to lie or steal or other illicit behaviour, either directly or by example, then they stand around shrieking "Why? Why?" when their precious brats land in jail.

That being said, I also believe it takes a village to raise a child. Teachers, neighbours and the peer group can have a significant impact on a child, both positive and negative. Children who attend church regularly tend to be less likely to become promiscuous. However, parents may hesitate to become involved in religion to avoid child predators. Their fears are not entirely unfounded.

And it's high time for the media to accept responsibility for their effect on young minds. If Sesame Street can have such an impact, it stands to reason that the garbage does, too. The advertisers and commercials are the worst, since they don't have a rating system and slide them into an otherwise child friendly format.

It would really help if we stopped exploiting our youth, treated them with more respect, and quit rushing them to grow up too fast. Maybe they'll learn something about the benefits of values.

Answer 3

it is fully the parents responsibility and it should start the day they are born moral values are a family issue your parents taught you there's and you teach your children yours

moral values i have taught my kids
don't steal you work to hard for what you have and you would not like it if someone came along and took it so don't do the something to others

treat others as you would have them treat you

do not harm hurt or kill anyone just common since

do not lie if you lie people will not trust you or respect you and trust and respect are all we have of out important to all relationships

do not ever cheat anyone because in the end the only person you end up cheating is yourself

do not use swear words they make you look ignorant when yo are trying to have an intelligent conversation

treat everyone the same even if they don't look or sound the same if you took away everyone differences we would not have any way to tell who is who

and i could go on and on but i do not want anyone else teaching my kids what there moral values should be i want my kids to be understanding and caring and i want there morals to reflect that

Answer 4

Who else but the parents?
It begins at the child's birth. Do the parents provide human milk - the child's birthright and necessary for optimal brain and health functioning. If you're not giving your kid the best, why not? What are modeling and teaching about doing what feels good for you over what's best? Same thing with day care. Day care is devastating to children on many levels. Do you rationalize doing it to your kid anyway? If so, you're well on your way to teaching that what you want is more important than what other people need.

Morality is the balancing of the rights of all people in making decisions about your actions.

We show our kids from day one, from how we treat them, how moral we are and how moral they should be.

Answer 5

Of course, instilling moral values in children is primarily the parents responsibility, however, there's truth to the saying "It takes a village to raise a child". Teachers, church members and even friends will also help shape the person your child will become. Parents should always know the 4 "w"s regarding their kids activities. WHO will you be with and who will be supervising? WHAT will you be doing? WHEN will you return? WHERE can I find you?

Answer 6

The responsibility first and foremost of parents. Our purpose as parents is to raise our children to become adults. The installation of moral values is just one of the many responsibilities of the parent. Morals help us to judge right from wrong, good from bad and to understand consequences of our actions. Morals are what allow us to respect ourselves and the right to earn the respect of others. To a lesser extent teachers, caregivers, politicians, the police force, media and any upstanding citizen of the community has responsibility to do the same. The best way to teach moral values is to practice what you preach, Morals are about respect.

Answer 7

Who should install these values the government, the schools, some stranger? Of course the parents are the only ones who should have this right. Whether anyone agrees with them or not it is their God given right as parents.

Answer 8

Learning comes from home, moral values from generations.
Is our job as parents to teach our children from an early age.
Being a good role model is critical.

Answer 9

Well, the strongest and surest way is to lead by example, if you want to instill values in someone close to you, that you care about. You have to walk the walk and talk the talk, to be believed by anyone. Parents, I think, can only do their best and most important work when one's children are young so as they start off with a strong foundation of values to draw upon. If that's not done, well, then the kids will look to someone esle or somewhere else for their values, and that may or may not be such a good thing. And if your children haven't received the right messages by the time they're in their early teens, it may be too late. But I'd never give up on my children, if it ever happened to me. I truly believe parents do impress their children the utmost, over and above, anyone else in a child's life, so parents have perhaps much greater influence than they realize. My son is 18 and I'm satisfied I did a good job. I lived what I said, and I never contradicted any of my words or actions. So naturally, my son believes in me, and he believes in himself. Mission accomplished! But I do think once a child becomes of age, it is time for the parents to stop over-interfering in their childrens' lives. As my son gets older and begins to lead his own life, I will ever be there to guide him, should he ask for my help. You get to relax and sit back and enjoy, if you've done the job right! The young minds of children are in their most vulnerable, impressionable state that they will ever be in. So, what happens to them as they're growing up, does make strong imprints on their tender minds and hearts. It's extremely important to be there for them and close, as they go through the trials and errors of growing up. The right leadership by parents cannot be underestimated. We are truly the source for giving our children the best start for what lies ahead! I speak from experience and from seeing the results of my labours and attentions!

Answer 10

i think it is the parents' responsibility; however, it does take a village to raise a child. the parents' beliefs and values will be observed and mimicked by the children until they are old enough to develop their own sense of morality. religion and government play a role in one's continuing development of morality. but it always begins in the home with the parent figures. whomever cares for the child and shows him or her love, those are the strong moral models they will follow in the beginning, so it is their responsibility to emulate the values they believe are important in order to raise that child.
