what the best way to teach children respect manners and kindness?

Answer 1

Be respectful, have good manners and be kind yourself to set a good example, then ensure they follow use positive praise and say that was respectful / kind etc so they know what is expected of them !

Answer 2

Be a good role model and be strong and consistent. Don't let personal desires get in the way. For example, I am a divorced father and I have my kids half the time. I like to go out and party with my friends, but when I have the kids I rarely leave them to go out with friends. I always want my kids to know they are number 1 in all circumstances. My friends don't like that, but it just gives an opportunity for my real friends to shine and be supportive of me. In the end, your children will respect you much more if you are consistent and lead by example. This is why immature people should not have children. The children grow up confused about eventhe simple things in life, and then they find they can rely on their friends for guidance instead of their parents.

Happy New Year.

Answer 5

Teach them by example. Respect them and practise what you tell them. They will follow your example. If they begin to learn bad habits from their friends at school etc then tell them that bad habits and unkindness are not acceptable in your family. Try not to be angry with them but explain your reasons. Reward good behaviour.

Answer 6

Are you aware you posted this on the Ag. site?

Are they your own kids (sons/daughters)?
A relatives, other people's kids, students?

If they are your own children your niece/nephews.
Re-post on the Child Development and Family sites.

Someone else's kids.
Child care and teaching sites.
The Devil Worship site...maybe not.

I guess you might get other views on this Ag site.

Enroll your child in a 4-H (ages 8-19)
or FFA program (high school age).
He/she will learn how to care for animals,
which should make him/her a better person.
Also interact with other kids and adults,
fairs, shows, competitions etc.

If you are still having problems.
Sent him/her to my friends pig farm to clean out the pens.
It's difficult to act snobby when you are covered with sh**.

Best Wishes :)

Answer 8

my opinion is to start out young and find a way to discipline them when they don't. and you have to be consistent with teaching them. a big part is by the way you treat them and how they see you treat others. GOD BLESS YOU AND HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR FILLED WITH NOTHING BUT HAPPINESS!!!!!
