Poorly parented kids are everywhere today. This puts a greater burden on you if you’re trying to raise a family of people who live by a good value system. They also have so much freedom and access to social media that undermine your values.
So, what can you do to earn your kids’ respect in this environment on their perilous journey to adulthood? The most important rule is, “Don’t be a hypocrite!” You must set the right example by practicing what you preach.
Listen to them. You’ll never get them to listen to you if you don’t listen to them.
Have rules of your house that everyone must follow.
Give praise for praiseworthy efforts and apply discipline when justified. Discipline, however, must be in proportion to the offense.
Always practice unconditional love!
If not today, when?
