My family values that I taught my children is to respect yourself and others. If you can respect yourself, you can respect others. I think the biggest problem with kids today is the respecting of themselves. Morally, kids are not respecting themselves enough to say no to sex, drugs, etc. It is possible to teach our kids moral character. It starts early when they are able to understand. Making sure our children are learning not only in church, but also in the home. It is a BIG responsibility for parents to continually instill in their children, but well worth it when they grow into young adults. Only God can help us to accomplish this and I am very proud of what my children are today because of the abilities God has given my husband and I to instill into them Godly character. They are not perfect, but they have accomplished the BIG stuff that all parents worry about. D. Benitez

Integrity is it! One of the best tests of integrity is : If no one is watching would you still live your principles?
Without the Soul of Christ alive in us...we are nothing but empty shells...

Integrity. This means adherence to a code of values. Children learn by what they experience, not what they hear or see. If integrity is practiced, they will practice. IOW, if one says they are going to do something, do it. Want to be on time? Be on time. say walking to the park, walk to the park. Vegetarian? Stay away from meat, even the haunting burger, if one fails to uphold, then be honest! That is integrity. No excuses. Owning responsibility for ones behavior takes integrity and starts before teething. Everything else builds on this, building integrity takes life long practice. Practice, practice, practice. Act like a fool standing in line with your kids watching, they learn to act like a fool. swear and flip off people while driving? Guess who is watching, they are the drivers of tomorrow... always late and rushing around? Guess who is watching. Who tells little white lies on the phone? Guess who is learning? Who says one thing and does another? guess... Courage and compassion require integrity. The rest is gravy. imnsho Dar

Teaching values is a vital part of parenting, and we're excited to link you to Beliefnet's new series on teaching values to children. Every month we feature a different value along with age-by-age tips to post on your fridge (you can sign up for a monthly email reminder!). So far we have courage and cooperation. Upcoming are honesty, responsibility, and others. Of course everyone has different ideas about which values are most important to pass on to kids. Which are most important to you?
