Try not to be a person of success, but rather a person of virtue. — Albert Einstein
Who doesn’t want their kids to inculcate positive character traits? But often in a fit to inculcate all possible character traits in our kids we end up in a mess. This is not done and that too when it comes to the future of your kids. Instead why not take a different approach or rather why not start slow with character education. By starting off slow, your kids will be able to grasp the virtues more comfortably and a greater speed. You can initially start off with the following virtues:
* Self discipline is possibly the backbone of character education. Hence, make sure to teach your kid to be self disciplined.
* Being compassionate would be a plus point. Make your kid understand the suffering or pain that an individual undergoes. All understanding wont do, ask him/her never to back off when it comes to helping those in need.
* Teach your kids the benefits of being responsible. Cite examples if needed. For instance, if he/she has promised somebody to accomplish a task within a stipulated time frame then make sure that they complete it within the deadline rather than delaying.
* Is your kid friendly? Being friendly is the greatest virtue. A good friend is one who stands for his peer no matter what the situations are or you can say that a good friend is one who protect his/her friend from getting bullied. So, make sure your kid turns out to be a good friend.
* Teach your kid to maintain a positive attitude and gives his/her very best. Even if your kid finds any task daunting ask him/her not to back off. With sheer perseverance on their part they are sure to reap the benefits of success.
* Even if your kid is scared of taking the plunge, you need to be there beside his side so that he doesn’t feel scared or feels lonely. Instead teach him to stand up for a thing if he thinks that it’s right.
* It would be foolish on anybody’s part to believe that success can be attained in one night. This is certainly not the truth. Instead one needs to put in his her best efforts to achieve the desired. Be sure that your kids are aware of this fact as well.
* Teach your kid to be honest and loyal to his own self as well as to others.
* Ask your kid to have faith in the Almighty as He is there to take care of everybody’s need.
* Violence, profanity, to a name a few are a couple of negative traits that your kids should avoid.
* Be sure that your kids maintain a safe distance from tobacco, alcohol and drugs. In a nutshell, ensure that they maintain a safe distance from illegal substances or abusive language.
These are only a couple of values and virtues that you need to inculcate in your kids. Once they develop these positive traits to the fullest, you can begin with the next phase of character education.
