What's the best way to train 3-11 yr old kids?

Question

So that they grow up with the right values, make the right friends and do well at studies? Kids are rude and troubled nowadays, and parents are at quite a loss.

Your thoughts please and thanks!

Answer 1

Spending more time with your kids is definitely vital. There is nothing else that compares to quality time for children with their parents. Reading more books, starting to do some math early on before actually starting school with interest your children in education. Taking children to educational places such as botanical gardens, or museums, or simply to the park rather than just sitting in front of the television will help them to understand the fact that there is much to learn in the world. They will he introduced to the fact that there is much to learn from being outside and exploring. Going back to education, taking your children to the library and allowing them to choose their books of choice will make them curious of about reading, and starting to do some math and working on the alphabets before starting school will interest them in studying and learning. However keep in mind that if you overload too much on to your kids, they might loose their interest, so rewarding them for going well is always nice. teaching manners such as saying thank you, or sharing toys with friends when they come over to play, you will have to choose your moments to teach them about those basic skills. More importantly having a happy family really is all that matters at an early age, seeing everyone getting alone and making memories...So to conclude, from my perspective, there really is no 'best way' to train kids, you just simply have to teach them to differentiate the right from wrong, and teach them the values that you yourself believe in in your own way at your own pace.

Answer 2

you can start early telling them about how a good education leads to good jobs.When the kids ask for,clothes ,shoes,etc.remind them it takes money and they like to spend money.When it comes to friends,let them know that they don't have to do what someone else does,to be cool.Everybody has hung around an so called bad friend.let them know if the friend breaks the law and he or she is with that person that they will go to jail.teach them to walk away from an argument before a fight starts.My boys are not allowed to hit girls.if they couldn't walk away during the argument they need to get hit.talk to kids about drugs and alcohol.kids are getting pregnant because they never was told what a condom is.kids try drugs and don't know what is is.get pamplets set them out for teens,for smaller kids get something with pictures.we have to teach kids that the door to talk is always open and we need to learn not to blow up but just listen.My kids come tell me everything they are 13,14,17.It's very hard to be calm but I do it and give advise and they keep coming back to talk.

Answer 3

I think the best way of training kids to be good is to explain to them WHY their actions are wrong rather than telling them to stop doing something only.

I mean, a lot of parents will see their kid doing something naughty and shout STOP. It makes the kid want to do it even more because they may not understand why it's wrong..

That's why a lot of kids grow up in a bad way. They can't tell the difference between bad and good at a young age..

Answer 4

I am 11 years old...and it doesn't mean that I can't advice lots of things to you...I can't really advice...b/c I'm having a lot of trouble w/ my crush....(as usual) http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070720064519AA1tsUX&r=w

Anyway,
You know, I just want to enhance my camaraderie or independence....i don't wanna have guardians....especially at school or at a trip...And as an 11 year old girl...All I wanna do is to have my parents by my side only when I need their help. (I hope that it's not mean to hear) and I want to have some girly accessories or some collections...you shouldn't be spoiling your child...and you should help him/her with studies and try to be concerned...for example...sumbody hurt your child...you must do a move...(that's if your child wants you to make a move) sumtimes, child doesn't want very defensive parents. Or...try to ask your child if sumone's bullying him/her...
that's only for me...as an 11 year old girl....

Answer 5

well being an 11 year old kid my self, i am going to say this kids like to have independence let them do things with their friends and only with their friends. in other word do be one of those ssuper controling parents but dont be so laid back they are going to become potheads. kids always turn out a little diff than their parents so remember what example you are setting with your parenting. the way you parent controls how your children feel

Answer 6

raise them with morals, values, self-esteem, and unconditional love no matter how rude they get or how much trouble they get into. Children needs to know this and only the parents or family can instill it in them

Answer 7

talk to your kids like adults, do not baby talk.. set a good example and always be there for them 24-7.. give a good and right explanation to their every question,, kids long for attention and you shouldn't deprive them from getting a lot..

Answer 8

um....teach them that they arent the boss and to be respectful??
thats what my mom taught me. Just dont go overboard with the commanding respect thing. otherwise the kid will undoubtedly hate you for the rest of their life. (or at least until they move out)

hope this helped a little!!!!

Answer 9

i think that you need to be honest with kids, tell them the truth and show them by actions, and talk to them, if your life is a mess and you are crazy all the time you can't expect for them to be good, parents need to keep it together for their children, have patients and take time to talk to them and spend time with them, they need to have you for a role model and know that you are there for them, be patient with them i think most kids are good, life just turns them in the wrong direction sometime and they need support , a lot of love and patience

Answer 10

Demand respect and order. start now while they are young.
