Father Knows Best: Instilling Vintage Values In Your Kids
Stylish Vintage Baby loves all things vintage including vintage values. Children
with a strong character are better equipped for handling issues like
bullying and resisting negative influences. When parents work to
instill timeless values foundational to character development,
children grow up with a positive value system, allowing them to grow
into happier people and better citizens.
Some
parents think that it's too early to teach values to a toddler or
preschooler, but research shows that these values can be instilled in
children before their fifth birthday and it is possible to make them
stick.
What
are some of the key foundational values to help build your child's
character?
- Kindness, compassion & empathy
- Gratitude, forgiveness & honesty
- Integrity, patience & confidence
- Responsibility, generosity & determination
- Openness, fairness & confidence
How
can parents instill these values in their children?
- Model the behavior in everyday life and teach by example.
- Get your child involved in community endeavors and volunteer work.
- Show respect for authority.
- Apologize and make amends when the need arises.
- Talk to your children and openly share your emotions.
- Set boundaries, communicate expectations and set limits.
