Children are like wet cement and whatever falls on them makes an impression. This saying has a very deep meaning. Remember, you are the role model of your child. And so, you must try to inculcate good habits in your child. But merely guiding and teaching won’t help. You will have to yourself practise good habits in front of your child. Then only he or she will learn.
Good habits merely does not mean teaching mannerisms. But it actually means putting forward the right way of life.
Many parents do not understand that what effect they are laying down on their children by fighting in front of them. Parents must always show respect towards each other in front of children. They must speak softly, eat right and eat properly. Only when children watch right things in front of them, they will be convinced that these are right things and must be adopted.
Tell your children the importance of morals and ethics. Let them understand how important it is to live rightly. Show them the importance of money management. Live rightly then only he will learn from you. Give them good books to read which show importance of good manners and way of life.
