How can we mold the character of children?

To form the character of the child, it is necessary to have clear tools to structure the personality. And why would we form his character or, what is more interesting, are the adults responsible for forming them? Is it our responsibility?
The character of a person is structured according to its foundation, which is nothing more than the moral itself. In some way with the daily example is transmitted to children.
Key points with which the character of a person is formed
❖ With love.
❖ With respect.
❖ With example.
❖ With discipline.
❖ With demand.
❖ The moral framework of homes.
❖ Promote habits.
❖ The resolution of conflicts fairly.
Why does moral formation structure character?

The essence of character formation is in establishing links, because it is to the extent that the person is related to other people, whether parents, friends, brothers, acquaintances, among many others.
To the extent that you learn to relate, is when the person realizes who he is. The behaviors you have are always in relationship.
Tools to change something of themselves in relation to the character
There are two tools of the human being, in which one must work: intelligence and will.
It is essential that it develops in children and, of course, that adults have a good judgment, that is, to know exactly what is good and what is bad.
Children must understand that when they are told about things that are around, what happens, they must have their own criteria, in this way their character is formed.
How is a strong character formed in the child?

Leaving the dilemma of whether it is strict or demanding, we can not think of spoiling but locate ourselves in time and space, in the situations that are given day by day, and that are decisive.
So to form a strong and at the same time kind character, we have three recommendations:
❖ The myth of paying attention to everyone. A good child is not the one who takes care of everything, nor a good adult is the one who makes the child pay attention to everything. It is to imagine and take into account that if even adults do not pay attention to everything, that is not a determining factor for a good education. Good parenting is not a dictatorship, it is a mutual learning.
❖ The important thing, from: "I" and then "you". With the example, to demonstrate something to the child, you must begin by having examples of behaviors.
❖ Love and discipline. One does not depend on the other, they are different, but they are not excluded. The confusion is that, it is believed that one can not be achieved without the other.
It is possible to form the character of a child with love and example
Love is living the virtues and the example requires having a moral code, in which it is framed to live and transmit education, to achieve children who are not vulnerable to society, who are not manipulable, who do not go through life without analyze everyday situations.

With the example is preached, spoken and practiced. So that there is a coherence of life. It makes him talk from heart to heart, which is fundamental in the formation of character.
Virtues that make up the character of a child
❖ Recognize what is good and what is wrong.
❖ Self-control.
❖ Self-discipline.
❖ The effort.
❖ Integrity
❖ The persistence.
It is important to demand that children be responsible with their obligations, always complying with the objective set.
Children must understand that they must not give up their own convictions, have strength, not collapse with anything that happens to them.
