Teach your children character

Todays world can be a very confusing place. Parents, children need to learn about character early in life. You need to teach your child to be a good person, mostly because no one else will.
Children learn what they live. When a child sees their parent lie, even a "small" lie they think it is alright to lie. Teach honesty by being honest tell the truth.

In this life teamwork is necessary. We have to work with others on a daily basis. When you teach your child to work with others they will gain a very important skill.
Let your child help you clean up, cook and other things around the house. Then announce "we did it".
Let your child see you being kind to others, greet people as you pass them on the street. Say good morning, smile at your child, give them hugs. When children know love it is easier for them to show love.
Teach citizenship by volunteering bring your child with for the Earth day clean up. Don't litter and keep your environment clean.
Be responsible and your child will learn what responsibility is. Make your child accountable for what they do when they make a mess make them clean it up.
Teach your child to respectful by being respectful. Treat people the ways you want your child to treat people.
Read the definition of these words to your children. Give them examples of the concepts so that they understand them. Lead by example for some this may not be that easy. Let this be an opportunity for you to change. There is no better reason to change, then your childs future.
