What do you tell your Children????

Teaching good for the children is good to be teach because to know things goos is profitable to them.. If there is bad things to teach them,it is good that they have knowledge to know and to keep away from it...I always teach kids about what is good..

I attach importance to child's moral education, that is to say let him know how to conduct himself in society.Those are nothing but politesse,kindliness,honesty,diligence,thrift and so on.I think example is better than precept.Like father ,Like sun.

I think it all depends on how you talk to them. I do point out when they are not doing as they should. But I make sure they know that what they are doing is wrong and not that they are wrong. Too many people speak to theirchildren in the wrong manner. I do not tell my children that they are "bad" but I have said that what they have done is bad. It is the action not the child themselves. It is so easy to be able to demean a child you really have to watch what you say.

Hi bird: I would definitely tell my children the positive things about them 70% of the time and I would dedicate just the 30% to talk about the things "they need to improve", I won't say negative to make them think they are failing. I remembered that my parents usually concentrate on the things I did wrong. Their intention was to make a good man in me but it really makes me feel sad and depressed. ALVARO

Yes, I always told them what is wrong. I don't want them to get hurt if other people would tell them. And I make sure that I let them feel that I am proud of them if they did the right thing.

I don't have children. But I do have a lot of cousins and nephews and nieces who are still very young. When they do bad things, of course I will tell them that what they're doing is bad. I reprimand them so they won't do it again. But if they do good things, of course I also praise them for that. I believe that children consider adults as an example. That's why we have to show them that we are good. We have to set a good example for them. In turn, they will grow up to be very nice kids in the future.

yes, i do, especially when they were still very young. but until now, when something is not right, i tell them. i would like to believe that what the children sees, they mimic. so it is very important for parents to watch their actions as they speak louder than words.

It's not easy to become a parent. It's a challenge to every parent to make their kids a better person may not be the best. I talked with my kids and show what is wrong when they've done something wrong. I need to show them and made them think, listen to their opinion and reasoning why they made mistake. Showing them what is wrong and what is right is the best way for me.

I do hope that I am teaching my children at least some of my values, because I believe that is what we are supposed to do as parents not to mention that I try to have good values. I also try to lead by example. I tell my children if I do not like something they did, and I praise them for things that they do well ... or at least things they try to do well, even if the result is not as good as they had hoped. Similarly, I tell them when I do things that are not acceptable, because everybody makes mistakes. I also tell them when I am proud of something that I have done, because it is alright to be proud of our accomplishments, in my opinion, as long as we do not go overboard with praising ourselves.

If I don't like something my kids did I will tell them. They know that this doesn't mean I don't like them as a person or as my kids anymore. If I don't feel great or am sad I tell them too and also give them the reason for it so they don't think it's because of them. I make them many compliments and hug them because they are great kids and although each kids has it's problems they are way easier, lovelier and way less problematic as so many other kids I hear parents talk or complain about. If my kids feel sad because of what other people or kids say about them we sit together and say all the great things they can do, we call all their qualities one by one. We focus on the positive things. We focus on those situations, people who make us happy, not at that only person that tries to break us down and ruin our day (which is easy since we seem to remember bad things better as all the great things that happend). I don't tell my kids to neglect the bullies, but to stand for what they believe in.

For me, I think action speak better than words, it is not enough to tell them what not to do yet you are doing the same thing. Children tends to copy what we are doing. I think the best thing is just be that good role model to your children.
