Building a foundation of common values
Our values help us choose between right and wrong, good and evil. They also affect how we will spend our time, energy, and money. If children are taught good values when they are young, they are more likely to make wise decisions when they are older.
Home is the best place for children to learn values. Here are some basic values you may want to teach:
- Love
- Honesty
- Morality
- Civility
- Lifelong learning
- Forgiveness and mercy
- Thrift and industry
- Gratitude
- Optimism
- Faith
Remember, the most effective method of teaching values is through your example.
