Teaching Moral Values To Your Children

Imagine being able to go out for the evening and actually having fun instead of worrying about what your teenage son or daughter may be doing at home alone.
Imagine allowing your teenager to spend the night at a friend's home and being confident that they are not experimenting with alcohol, drugs, or sex.
Imagine being able to talk with your teenage son or daughter about some moral issue and having an intelligent and meaningful conversation -- instead of being in an argument within 18 seconds.
I'll Help Teach Basic Moral Values To Your Children so...
...they can make right choices when they are with their friends
Music, TV programs, electronic games, other children, and other adults all influence children. But, not many influences teach them high moral values.
What choices will young people make when they are with their friends at a party?
It's party time..... and it's a fact that ...
... 15% of 8th graders are binge drinking.
And it gets worse as they progress through high school.
I'll help you tell your children about life's moral anchor points so they'll get a good grounding in basic ethics and moral standards. Teaching youngsters these basic values is important. It helps them make decisions that will be good for their future.

You will understand how to explain basic ethics and morals so...
Your Children Can Understand How to Determine Right From Wrong
I'll explain the three stages of moral development. Very young children learn basic ethics and morals through "rewards and punishment".
When a small child reaches out for a hot burner on the stove you slap her hand and say, "NO!"
Every child learns some actions are "bad" when they are scolded or "punished."
Later, when your child sings a little nursery rhyme, you smile and give her a hug. Children learn that some actions are "good" when they are praised and rewarded.
This is only the first level of moral understanding. It's called the "Obedience and Punishment" level of moral understanding.
Learn how you can help your children progress through all three levels of ethical maturity.
But, too many young people become stuck at the "Obedience and Punishment" level.
Some people who are stuck at this first level simply seek to avoid punishment. They do harmful things and try to "get away with it."
They'll cover up their "mess." They'll hide or blame someone else when they do something wrong.
They may become trouble makers and can wind up in difficulty with the law.
Discover the key points you need to know to help young people progress beyond the "Obedience and Punishment" level of moral maturity. It's a shame more parents (and teachers) fail to help the young people they should care most about.

I'll help you understand basic ethics and morals so ...
You Can Talk With Your Kids and Explain Why Something is Right or Wrong......Without Arguing
Young people really want to talk about what's right and wrong, and WHY certain things are right or wrong.
Young people really can make right decisions if they understand what makes something right or wrong.
Learn how to explain this distinction clearly.
I don't like being told "Do it because I said so!"
I'd be willing to bet you don't like it either.
And your children are always ready to question you when you use that argument on them.
There really are easy, clear ways to explain why something is right or wrong. You'll feel good about explaining it. And, your children will feel good about learning how they can tell right from wrong.
Then, they have the skill so they can make right decisions
