WHAT ARE THE MORAL VALUES?
People with moral values have a clear sense of right and wrong. Your moral code is not based on how you are feeling right now. Instead, it's based on a solid set of principles that serve as a guide for driving even when others aren't looking for it.
WHY ARE MORAL VALUES IMPORTANT?
Children are bombarded with distorted moral messages, regardless of who they go to school with, what music they listen to, or what movies and TV shows they watch. These influences can challenge your belief in what is right and what is wrong.
This is especially true among young people. At the time, they "must understand the intense pressures from their peers and the media to be popular and accepted, and learn to make decisions that are consistent with their values and choices, even. if that means. "Go see friends." Obviously training needs to start before puberty.
HOW TO LEARN MORAL VALUES
Establish a moral code.
Mature people have trained their ability to distinguish between right and wrong.
Build a moral vocabulary. Point out everyday situations and highlight the contrasts: “It's honest; it is dishonest. "It's fair, it's unfair." It's zest; it's cruel. “Over time, your child will attach moral values to actions.
Explain the reasons for your moral code. For example, ask questions like: Why is honesty the best policy? How can lies harm friendship? Why is it wrong to steal? Appeal to develop your child's awareness and sense of logic.
Emphasize the benefits of good habits. You can say, "If you are honest, others will trust you" or "If you are nice, people will want to be with you."
Integrate your moral code into your family identity.Show who you are over and over again.
Your moral code should be part of your family so that you can honestly say:
"We are not in our family."
"We don't hit or yell at others."
"We do not accept offensive speech."
Your child will realize that moral values are not just rules, but family identity.
Talk to your child often about your family values. Use everyday situations as object lessons. You can compare your values with those presented in the media or at school. Ask your child questions like "What would you have done?" "How would our family have handled this?"
Strengthen moral values.Have a clear conscience
Praise good behavior. If your child shows good moral values in what he does, praise him and explain why. For example, you could say, "You were honest. I'm proud of you." If your child admits that he did something wrong, sincerely praise him for his honesty before correcting it.
Correct bad behavior. Help your children take responsibility for their actions. Children need to know what they have done wrong and how their behavior differs from the family's value system. Some parents are reluctant to make their children feel bad about their bad behavior, but talking to your child about bad behavior in this way can help them realize right and wrong.
