<![CDATA[All About Teaching Values]]>So much has been put on academic enrichment that I fear we parents have lost track of what is more important - character development.


How does one instill good values in a child, such as honesty, self-reliance and perseverence? I think we all know that the best way to impart values and principles is to live them ourselves as parents, but supposed that’s been done and it is still not working? What do you do?

I am of the belief that it’s not beneficial to send children elsewhere to learn values if these are not reinforced at home.

This topic is very, very important, a child forms values ​​in childhood and then grows with it, try to send your child to catechetical lessons and also go to church with him - this will give a good foundation to become an honest and confident person in the future
Agree with your point, too 😂

Can limit material rewards/gifts too ya. Avoid giving unnecessary gift except special occassions like bdays, new year, etc...can help reduce their sense of entitlement! 😄
Can do incentives too lah. Me, i think traditional parenting is too strict but effective. But dont agree with hitting as best disciplinary method...as much possible, i dont resort to violence if my kid done something bad. I talk to him first then explain why i got angry then after making sure son understand, i will ground/disincentivize. Not sure if this will work out for everyone but just wanted to share how i discipline my kid.

Well if you spoiled your child before and they are acting so entitled now (unfortunately) as a result, maybe can help your child understand that they cannot have everything they want..? Can set house rules too and make sure that you become a good role model along with hubby of course.

Agree. We should teach our children the gmrc at a young age. Let's also be role models to them.

I don't mind kids giving/having their own opinions but the tone, I need to correct them, sometimes. My tolerance level not very high on those.
Agree. As parents, it is our duty to correct our children when the tone in delivering their opinions are disrespectful & piercingly confrontational or argumentative w/o effort to be open & discursive. I will help them rephrase as a way to deliver the the correct manner & bring them to u’stand there is always a more effective and non-combative manner to a good & civil discourse. These skills hv to be taught at home, so they as to provide a scaffold for mistakes to be made w/o embarrassing themselves out in the society IMO.

It is kind of disrespectful and judgmental to call out anyone who have exhibited rudeness or other not so socially acceptable traits that they have no values or they come from parents with no values.
...
Absolutely. But unfortunately, it is the social norms that control how a population behaves, and social norms are essentially set by people whispering about others' behaviours. What we should seek is more understanding and leeway so that people who are different are given more breathing space. We should remain courteous to those with whom we disagree.

Societal values may change. For example, for many parents, they perceive talking back as rudeness or being disrespectful, to the child, they may perceive as trying to assert and express their own viewpoint. If a message you send or action you take is experienced viscerally and personally, you are perceived as rude. To be able to express yourself adequately without being seen as rude and disrespectful takes a lot of experience. We should give kids a chance to learn instead of judging them as simply being rude or disrespectful. They are in a natural development phase where they are finding their own identity.

Kids learn at their own pace. There are kids who mature faster and there are also kids who do not develop their frontal cortex as fast as the others. There are also those who are wired differently, perhaps with ADHD or ASD who may have difficulties catching up with the others.

recently, I am trying something new that I searched for short stories online and picked 3 stories which I think those are meaningful, encouraging stories. Then, I printed it out and asked the kid to read. The next step is discussion time, I told him that I do not have any standpoint for those stories, everyone interprets differently and I would like him telling me how he feels and why...then we started to discuss on the values of each story and I feel that kid feels more comfortable that I am not \"feeding\" him instead of \"listening to him\"....I just added up my thoughts during the discussion not educated him with a fixed version.

They learn from our example; if we want them to develop good values, then it’ll take more than just telling them what is right or wrong. It starts by modeling those behavior patterns ourselves as much as possible so that they see in us living examples of goodness.

Values also shape the well-being of society.

Although values might differ across cultures and geographic regions, some positive values such as respect and kindness are somewhat universal.

These are the values that we should inculcate in the young.

You are right in that as parents (and may I add, as educators as well), we should be role models for our children and students respectively. Children and students, or people in general, tend to be more receptive to emulating the values of people who walk their talk.

But of course, this might not work for some.

In this case, it would be good for them to feel the positive experiences of living the values.

While we can find "teachable moments" to teach the students, we might not be able to find the right opportunity. However, we can create them using scenario-based learning.

This requires us to narrate a scenario and ask them to put themselves in the shoes of the character and get them to talk about their thoughts.

Through this, we learn about the students’ thought processes. Thus, it would be easier to address any issues that arise, as we would not come across as judgemental.

This approach requires a strong rapport between the parents and their children, as well as between the teachers and their students.

Yours Sincerely,
Patrick
