Using Values to Raise your Children
Parents who understand the concept of values and the importance of instilling them in their children have a tremendous tool to influence and protect them from the negative influences of the outside world.
Parents are not powerless in the face of our culture and the media that challenge their beliefs and make practicing healthy parenting feel like an exercise in "swimming upstream".
Knowing what you value might help you decide when and how to intervene in a situation with your children. If you notice your child behaving in a way that goes against a value you wish to inculcate in them, it could be a sign that they need to learn something, whether it is kindness, generosity, responsibility, honesty, or anything else.
