INSTILLING VALUES

INSTILLING VALUES Installing values in a child does not require education or special classes. Yet, nothing that is later learned in a child's life by them can ever exceed home-trained values' foundational importance. Respecting themselves' and others' : persons, property, time, peace of mind, perspectives, and demanding reciprocal respect by and from others is paramount . It is, in short, "The Golden Rule." Deference to parents, elders, teachers, authorities, in public and in private settings is most commendable in youth. Obedience, diligence, courage, perseverance, confidence, faith, curiosity , sharing, good humor, attentiveness, work, love, and self-control are other important values. Values are foundational in largely determining a child 's growth, development, maturation and contributions to the common good and weal of the present and the future of mankind of earth. Neglecting or slighting these values will produce a wicked, racist, deformed and dangerous menace to society, comparable to a wild beast or a vapid parasite. Pouring forth values by example in thought, word and deed will produce that degree of godliness in men and women intended by God and required by nature.
