Should morals values need to be taught to children? What kind of morals values?

Yes, I believe we should teach our children how to act with moral values. If we do not not they will take up any way of acting that they are around. If we do not teach them they have nothing to base good conduct on. I think this is a must. Have a blessed day.

Hi neelianoscet, Children are learning the moral values by themselves from the home itself. Home is the first educational institution and kids are eagerly noticing what is going on at home. So teaching moral values theoretically is little difficult if the home is not based on it. For example if we teach the children, telling lies are not good and be honest always. But I am sure grown ups at home are telling lies sometimes; I agree it may not be harmful, but the kids are noticing the same and they definitely learn quickly the practical thing than the theoretical one. So in my opinion we have to make the home atmosphere a pleasant one and giving importance to hold up the moral values in the home itself. Teaching moral values can easily be done by telling stories which has some moral values. Kids are very fond of stories they are happy to enjoy the stories and at the same time can learn some moral values too.

Yes. I think morals and valuies definitely need to be taught to our children. They need to learn how to have respect for themselves and for others. We need to teach them also the value of earning a living and that life is not always about the material things.

By the time kids grow up, it's too late to start trying to teach them then. When they are grown, they feel like its time to teach you. Children are smart. Start teaching them while they are young, and they will grow into responsible adults.

I think it is a good thing for good morals to be taught to children. I have found the most valuable lessons are the experiential lessons where I learned what the consequence of my actions could be. It's not something that is easily forgotten. - Derek

What kind? The good kind of course. I agree that children are like sponges. Everything is new to them after all and they're learning about the world by their own, through the help of elders of course. But the thing with this is that it is up to the elders to teach them the right kind of morals and values, not only in words but also in actions. Children also learn by example. They usually mimic what they see in everything. Though it may be advisable to expose them to the world, still it would be up to the parents or those that surround them to moderate what kind of content their children are getting. If the children already have absorbed some negative things, its best to teach them or explain to them why such actions should not be done, or why other people do it like what they have seen/heard. It's always to start teaching them young. This would help them grow into better people when they're old enough to think and act by their own.
