Let’s Teach Children to Make the Right Choices

I'd somewhat agree with you but I'd also say what are the right choices for us maybe not the right choices for kids. I don't have any children myself but have nieces and nephews. What I see as the right choice may not be what they see as the right choice. So rather than say teach them to make the "right" choice I'd say teach them to make an informed choice according to their own morals and values. I think teaching children to think for themselves is a good thing.

My parents were those who thought to suggest the "right choices" at every step I made. In reality I would have preferred other choices and now I regret that I had not enough freedom to take my own decisions. To suggest is fine, to be too behind the children is very wrong.

If parents give children a good solid platform from which to launch themselves into the world, that's the very best thing that they can do. Basically - they need to know right from wrong, what is acceptable behaviour and what isn't.

That is just what I feel the problem is. We can influence our own children and lead them into the right kind of life. The problems however begin outside of the home and in school and sometimes it can be difficult for children to make the right choices in the outside world.

Certainly some parents don't seem to do much 'parenting' at all.

Yes...Children's are like clay.We should give good shape to them.First thing we should teach them is to speak truth and also that Good things will always overcome evil.

Gone are the days where most parents Train Up A Child In The Way They Shall Go. To often it is they make an excuse they are too busy, or my child can't do that, or they are not ready to be out there living a life on their own. If you teach them from the time they are little there are no issues as they get older, and we then see young adults we can be proud of, instead of wondering who helped raise them.

I definitely agree with this. Usually i just see parents letting their child be, in church... they run and play around, sometimes hitting other people. But the parents rarely discipline them...some people say just let a child be since they do not know what they are doing, but at an early they should learn to be respectful.

That is rely upon their age. Help,Guide,Suggust is good policy.

I set a good example and told my son he can follow them if he so desires. He is now an adult and takes decisions by himself and I am happy he faces the consequences. I have taken challenges as opportunities and they have made me stronger and my life fulfilling. The world would have been a much better place if the human race is less hypocritical - siva

True, we should do everything possible to get our children on the right road, after that it's up to them.

I agree with you but I have inputs, if we want our children to have a goal, then the right moment is when they are aged before 5 years, after which the child's character cultivation by teaching discipline, basic thinking, it is important to give up that all requests will Goods desire there is a price, the more valuable and get the goods, the more the child affection and nurtured well, this is one form of responsibility. I remember, my son when he was 5 years old, we went to one of the malls near the house, he saw many funny toys and very interesting that is mobilan car, then he said "papi, I want to toy it, guess what duty I do "I replied" that you can buy everything, as long as you sell your toy nintendo, but according to the papi toy your wishes are all rubbish! " , "Really rubbish, pi?" , "Because after a week it will be broken, and will eventually end up in a barn or trash can!" , So every time we go through the toy store, he always says, it will be garbage yes, pi. Our children are raided with good chinese toys, but sometimes they are not educational or strong. Hopefully the picture above can be input. And wise to give the child time to make choices in his needs. That way, our child can not become consumptive and his life is shackled by the high standard of living expenses.
