All About Teaching Values

With regards to the recent cases about the 48 men having sex with the underage girl, how do you ‘share or educate’ your kids on this?


can anyone share their views? at what age do you think is appropriate to share this kinda news?

Thanks.

In my opinion, the age to share is when the kids reach puberty, that is when they started to become curious about their own sexuallity and also the opposite sex. Just my 2 cents.

I also seek advise.i let him to read the article about men,but he read the besides news "why social escorts come to work?"i am not sure is suitable for him or not.


My son is in his preteen stage.he is 10.
I read a parenting book that guide how to handle preteen.author advised to give an open talk about sex at this age is suitable. Cos they cannot go and experiment on it.when they reach teen it will help.

My nephew and niece just read this wonderful story about financial responsibility and management, \"Three Cups\". It is written for kids by Tony Townsley and Mark St. Germain.


On his fifth birthday, a boy receives the gift of three cups from his parents: one is for spending, one for saving while the third for giving. That’s where he is to keep his allowance. Over time, how much goes into each cup changes. The text includes a parents’ guide.

\"Teaching Children How to Save, Spend and be Charitable with Money.\" It is a great book that teaches earning, saving and donating. Besides teaching the kids about money management and financial responsibility, it teaches the kids the importance of compassion too. A GREAT read!

I tried to find this book in the NLB catalogue but failed to do so. If you are keen to buy the book, you may have to get it from the amazon website:

Yup, I also agree that it would be more suitable to expose and educate your child with these sexual-related issues at puberty age. if you expose them too young, they might not understand or feel awfully disgusted

I am a piano tutor. A mother make her 2 children say their ‘goodbye’ at the door after every lesson (except when they are already in bed).


A Japanese mother and her daughter used to do that too. Even the grandmother joins in, whenever she’s visiting. (but the elderly dare not go near me as she can’t understand English).

A simple gesture goes a long way. They learn gratitude and manners.

I think the most effective way to instill values is to model them..
