Parents Need to Lead by Example
As parents, we need to lead by example and teach our children the importance of values such as honesty, respect, and responsibility. We can do this by setting a good example ourselves and having regular family discussions about the importance of values. Additionally, we can encourage our children to get involved in extracurricular activities that help teach values. Finally, we can praise our children when they display values-based behaviour.
Contribution of Family in Value Education
Education, at its core, is about building and maintaining fundamental values. One of the most important places where this happens is at home, within the family unit. Without the constant support and encouragement of those closest to us, our ability to pursue value-based living falters, and we risk drifting off course altogether. Value education begins in the home and is reinforced by others throughout our lives. By providing your children with an example of value-based living, you are giving them the skills they need to continue as adults to be self-reliant, productive members of society.
