Do teaching morals at an young age is important?

Yes it's very important. It's when the time where children's character and values are being molded.

I think it's essential to instil a sense of good moral values in children from as early an age as possible. Here in the UK, because that hasn't been happening in recent years, we've seen a seriously and frightening decline in basic human values in this country.

Yes, I find it so important to tell the children what's wrong and what's right. As they are little, it can be easy for them to mislead and then go to a wrong way. People shall have some basic morals. It will be beneficial for them when they grow up. A person who is honest, decent, kind, generous and polite will be welcomed in the society. I love China

yes it is very important to teach young kids morals. They need to know there are rules that everyone must follow and to respect others. learning manners can never start too soon.

Teaching morals for childrens is very important. I agree that good morals wil change their life brighter in future.but we cant assure that every childrens wont be good who taughted good morals in his young age. But morals is necessary but if its taught to childrens by their mother its very good and it wil make real impact on them.

Definitely it is very important at the younger age, so that it gets into mind perfectly and as it is told at the young age. My sister's daughter was told to give respect to everyone, while addressing some one.she was just 4 years old, she follows that, calls everyone respectfully. By listening her even i have changed a lot.

I think that it is very important for parents to set a good example to their children while they're young enough to understand what's going on. If they don't do this, then the child will never know what the correct way is to behave, and this will mean that they will most likely get into a lot of trouble when they start school and are not aware that certain behaviours and thoughts are not really appropriate for any given situation. I plan to set a good example for my children from the very moment that they come into the world, and I would certainly urge for other parents to do the same.

i think it is important as long as you walk the talk, or do what you preach. children always look up to their parents, or the adults, and they usually follow more the actions together with what is being told to them.

Hi Singuri, If one wants to build a strong building than he/she must put a strong base 1st. Child's mind is like a slate, what you write at it, it will remain for a long time. And only teaching morale is not important, practicing morale is also important. People do wrong things in front of their children, then how they can ask for morale to their kids.

I agree with you.. what better time to start than now. my parents taught me t be honest at a young age which is why I try my best to be honest in all my undertakings. reading them stories could help too and disciplining them, but not in a harsh way.

I is easier to teach children about good morals at very early age. The thing is, you should not just teach but do it as well. When I babysit I sometimes realize that the kids are emulating their parents. I babysat an eight year old girl and she was asking like her mom like in the way she talks and stuff. So yea, do what you are teaching.

As the young minds are receptive,teaching good morals at an early age is very apt and is very important. Inculcating good values like respect, honesty, industry, good manners,discipline, love and compassion to young children is proper. These can be very well be taught to them through examples. Each one has his own way of teaching values to their children. For me, I try to teach my nephews and nieces by example. I don't scold and embarrass them in front of people. I talk to them in private if they did something wrong and let them see the consequence of their action.In this way, they feel that they are loved and respected. By talking to them with diplomacy, made them more responsible of their actions and knew how to act properly. As they are very receptive, whatever they see in adults are building up their own criteria of what is good and what is bad. They learn how to kind to others and knows how to respect them too.Even if I don't have my own children, with the results I see in my nieces and nephews, i can say that I was right in showing them the right things at an early age.

yes, it's really good to teach morality at a young age because it will develop the child to his/her full potential. it will also help them to achieve their goals through making the right decisions in life..

Of course it is important that we teach these children at their young age. It would be harder if we teach then when they are teenager becausethey tend to rebel. Better that we build a strong foundation of good morals when they are still receptiveto the things we teach.

it is true that there is a big difference of teaching young kids of morals and good behaviors. it is not only about teaching but also showing them the morals. young kids are very impressionable. they take what they see as the acceptable. and they keep on asking. if we don't provide answers to their questions, they will get answers from dubious sources. and that's dangerous for the kids.

Yup, it is really important. It is far easier to teach young kids about manner rather than teach it to adult. Not only say words, I believe we have to show them the real example. We should have to be the role model.. Then, hopefully, they can grow with good attitude

Teaching morals at young age for me is good. As what the saying goes that "what you have planted is what will the fruit will be". Now, if you teach good morals at young age "Properly", then the child would really grow up with good morals. But, that is if you teach the child properly.
