The core values I tought (and still teach) my kids (5 Minute Freewrite)
Today's #freewrite prompt (by @mariannewest) got me triggered once again as soon as I read it. As a father of two kids, I have a strong opinion on that topic.
What are core values?
For me, every kid should be equipped with a set of core values. I educate(d) my kids with a few simple ones:
- be polite
- always say "hello" and "goodbye"
- no one ever got hurt for saying "thanks" or "please"
- respect others, no matter where they come from - we all are humans!
- always ask before taking something, especially if you are a guest
- have a helping hand whenever possible/needed
- respect rules, be it at home or be it outside
- respect nature, be it plants or animals (we are only guest on this planet)
It was - no, it is - a process of constant repeating and reminding our kids to respect and actually keep this values alive. Every day, when I see them keeping this core values with them, is a good day. And a gentle reminder when they hurt one or more of them always brings them back on the right track. That's how I educate and guide my kids.
What are the core values in your family? I would love to hear them in the comments.
Congrats for a job will done on teaching the kids. Keep on #freewriting.
thanks, will do as long as I have time for it :)
I was so excited that I forgot to send you this Tip!
thank you! will have a look at it later when I have more time.
Great freewrite! I wrote about parenting today as well. My kids are grown now, but I was always very careful to parent 'on purpose' and with intention. It sounds like you have a good thing going :)
thanks a lot. I just read yours. Like I wrote already there, respect for educating 5 kids. Sometimes, we are struggling to do so with our two already...
You have wonderful core values that you teach your kids and with these, they will go far in their lives. Since I am a nature lover, I am so happy to hear that you teach your kids to respect nature. Good for you @msicc!
