Read your kids a story and teach through it
Kids love to hear stories. They like to learn through the
characters in the stories. You can take this great opportunities to
teach values
to them.
Set a good example to your kids
Remember to count on every things you want to do because
your kids are watching you all the time. They learn mostly by
imitation.
Ask your kids questions on values whenever you have chance to
You can do this anytime you come across with any
situation. For example, during shopping or a walk in the garden with
your kids. You can implant values on helping people,eg: the homeless by
giving them some old clothes. They will realize the world needs good
people to help the ones in need and they have the ability to do so.
Be Strong in your religion or faith.We must know that we're not alone, so must them. Be strong in their
believe will strengthen them especially when they come across with
difficulty in life or when they are weak.
Find good life teachers for your kids
Get to know your child’s teachers, coaches, relatives and
friends. They will influence your kids with their values and beliefs
as well.
Talk to them as often as you can Good
conversations is the key to good relationship with your kids and family
members. Talk about anything and try to understand them. Don't turn
your kids into listener only but stimulate them to have active feedback
and their own opinions.You should spend these precious moments with your
kids so that they will feel natural to talk to you regarding any
matters.
Sing songs with themSongs enable them to learn languages in a fun and natural
way. They will appreciate the time you sing songs with them very much.
This will not burden them at all.
Don't depend too much to the media but create more hands on games and activities
Kids need to expand their motor skills and thinking
skills. You should make sure they get plenty opportunity to play indoor
and outdoor games with you and their friends.Too much of television and digital
games will limit their imaginations. They can't converse normally with
anyone and they will not develop the skill to solve problems at all.To
enhance the positive nature inside them, try more physical activities.
Provide solutions when they ask for anything Don't turn them out when they need you. Scolding is a bad
thing to do when they get into troubles. You should from very simple
matter to big issues, brief and show them solutions. They will be able
to learn them and can do them independently one day.
Have high expectations on your kids
Cheer them up with positive moods when they failed. Have
high expectations that they can do it and they will. Give them more
chance to do things rather to keep them aside and make them so small.
They can become super when they have the assurance from you.

Your Kids are Not Monsters
If you are having hard times with your kids, don't give up. This is
only showing that you love your kids and care for them so much. Give
yourself a clap that you are certainly one of the great parents.
Bear in your mind that your kids don't want to be a monster in your
eyes though. They too are always looking for ways to please you. But
they are too young to know how. Well, what you can do is to teach them
in many ways and at all time.
In this decade, our kids are expose to too much technology that make
them confuse and misbehave. They don't even know what are the things
they shan't do as those are what showing on the television. What they
will normally ask you is "Why can't I do that?" I know many of you will
be on fire hearing this question as you think they are challenging you.
But to my opinion, they just asking you to teach them to differentiate
between what in the media and on your mind or in the order of this
world.
You can absolutely bring them to all the positive places. For example
the church, the playground and the library. Don't expose them to the
media too early as they don't know what is real and what is fake. At a
young age, they can imitate many things that they see. It is better to
teach them more knowledge from the books and some social skills then
they can think more positively.
They learn the fastest through books, stories,colorful pictures,
songs and poems too. And they definitely like to chat with you. It is
better to develop their language skills at early age than to let them
sit in front of the television one whole day. When you chat with them a
lot, they can communicate with you better. You are very important to
help them express what they want to say correctly and in good manners.
As they are learning mostly from you, you shall set a good example to
them. Don't you want to ruin their thoughts with bad words and bad
behaviors that influence them throughout their lives? Well think deeply,
these will influence your live too, you will see it when you are old.
Every parents can have good kids when you spent valuable time with
them. Talk often to them regarding values you want to in put to them.
You can refer to the bible that your kids know it is from God. Well,
that is certainly a serious matter to them too. They know they shan't
break God's rules in any case. Well, you can then leave it to God when
you are not around with them.
