Your children witness every move you make and how you deal with life decisions. You influence them greatly.

Make it count and be truthful with them when they ask difficult questions. My son that is eight years old asked me if people die in a pandemic? Tell them the truth. Also, be informative and try to be straight as can be with not avoiding difficulty in answering them.

I don't like whiners, liars and cheats and abusive people. Values are taught at home. If you don't teach them good values? The society will take the role of parent and teach them their errors in a very oppressive manner with no heart involved. Do the teaching of values in your home.

Some parents don't understand what their kids face til they finally have to confront it because they live in la la land. I respect this couple who adopted two kids from Ethioia and brought them home to a small town in Texas. They finally understood why they never understood the problems. I find the mother and father brave people doing the right thing.

My thought isn't first what one should be taught but how should such things be taught in the first place? How do we raise virtuous people in a world which operates on utilitarianism in actuality.

My suspicion is to have some kind of community which fosters certain values as an inherent good to pursue within it which they then take as not just a property of the practice but as part of pursuing a decent life.
The values aren't mere moral maxims said to a child but are an integral part of one's day to day life.

And what they must be helped in doing is resisting bad behaviour and seeing the appeal in the good. Because to be honest or generous isn't merely saying something that is true or giving something to another person, it is based in a predicament of your own desires to do the wrong thing or the right thing but pursuing excellently that which is right.

But why would someone wish to do the right thing, how do they come to desire honesty, generosity, courage and so on against pressures to be a liar, to be a miser, to be a coward?
This entails an issue of the freedom of the self determined will, how we educated our desires such that our desire to do good is greater than our desire to do wrong.
That somehow in a conflict between motives we can train ourselves to choose a better motive. This is a long process to innuculate into ourselves and our children.

The psychological process which has something mediate ones decision to act on a virtuous end isn't clear to me. But this helps somewhat in what the contours of such a process might be like and it is to be somewhat understood if there is to be somewhat of a conscious/aware means of properly cultivate virtuous character in our children. As they're not trained for a specific action as in rules of duty, but to cultivate the wisdom to know how to act properly as there can never be pre-given answers to the many problems of day to day life, we have to think and live through them as best we can.

I absolutely agree with you. Very useful and correct thoughts. I am now writing a research paper that focuses on children's education, home education and the role of parents in shaping fundamental moral and intellectual qualities. I work with a proven and reliable papersowl.com service to help me write my research paper. Your thoughts that have been expressed in the message have helped me a lot in understanding certain points of education and upbringing, thank you!
