What kind of example are you setting before your children?
Training is more than just rules and discipline, but example as well. For instance, do you punish your children for cussing but do so yourself? Do you lose your temper easily but criticize your children for getting impatient? Do you act differently at home than at church? Do you treat your children the same as you will want them to treat their children when they become parents? Please read Proverbs 22:6.
I do not have any, but I know I am going to stop cursing when the time comes. I want to teach them the value of honesty, the pride the comes from hard work, and the virtue of integrity. I want them to learn manners and how to respect all people. I really want to set a good example.
i didnt train my children to do anything, i have taught them right from wrong, respect, love, honor and and the ability to think for themselves. . i am an adult if i say or do something that does not mean i allow my children to do it. i can raise my children well with out needing to read the bible.
I have always tried to set a godly example for my children to follow; unfortunately, I was not as spiritually mature when they were little as I am now, so when it came to showing them how to walk in love regardless of who hurts you, I was a bit lacking at times. (Ex: we have a neighbor who is old and gripes about petty things. A few years ago, when my girls were in junior high, we forgot to put our trash out one week – two bags – so she called the health department & reported us for not having a trash collector. About 5 years ago, our septic system had backed up into her cow pasture, and we had called somebody to come take care of it within the week, but she called the health department on us for that too, even though we not only told her somebody was coming, we told her the name of the company we’d called! So I spent some time griping about her and her petty actions and fantasizing about getting even with her in front of my daughters, instead of just letting it go like I should have.) Through much prayer and spending more time developing a relationship with God, I have a better love walk than I did back then. Our daughters are now 22 & 24, and we now have a 3 year old granddaughter, so I hope they all see Jesus in me and I pray for God’s forgiveness (and ask for theirs) if they don’t. We’re all only human….
okay! first of all a child is not a dog you do not train it. you teach and instill morals. now no i do not believe in hypocracy when trying to teach a child what is an appropriate way to behave. children mimic what they are surrounded by. and if it is suitable behavior for you than it should be for them too. how ever the good lord has also given us the power of free will and it also states in the bible that every christian will sin. people are sinners by nature. repent and the lord shall forgive. look no one is perfect and every parent makes mistakes. but you do the best you can and hope that when the time comes you have instilled the morals necessary and taught the right things to where your children will be the best adults and future parents they can be!
I am a christian so I read the Bible and I’m pretty sure I’ve read Proverbs 22:6. I’m not a parent but I know my parents don’t cuss or any of the other things you mentioned, and that’s exactly how I’m going to raise my kids. So I agree with you.
try being nice to your kids they would really like that and dont be mean to them for no reason! set a good example for them teach them diciplen and make rules i dont really no if u need to train them.. but dont punish them just for cussing but u could give them a warning. yes u treat u children the same as they would want them to treat their children if they get into trouble and dint mean to just forgive them set a good example for them but if they rude to u or being mean and wont stop send them to their room or yell at them
hope this helped but when u read u question over again i didnt really get what u asked.. but i went on writeing so byes!
I treat my kids to respect elders and basically treat people the way they would like to be treated.
And I didn ‘t need some silly book or group to even help me figure it out.
If you want to preach head over to the R&S section. The atiests will probably have some additional comment.
