Parents play important roles in the training of their children but most of us leave the training of our children in the hands of their school teachers, oh well we pay they teachers so they should do their jobs. Well do you ask yourself some of those characters we see our children exhibit and we do not like it, do we ask ourselves where the got it from?. Most children take after their parents because the feel whatever their parents do is right, this is why it is important for us as parents to know what we do and say around our kids. When we are with them we should not curse or use other inappropriate languages, because they will pick up these bad Words and use them without knowing if it's right or wrong because to them anything done by their parents is wrong.

Most of us parents like to get into arguments infront of our kids and this is wrong, when we start shouting at each other infront of the kids,they would also start doing same without knowing that issues can be handled in a diplomatic way, we should instead sit and talk issues over and these kid would understand that dialogue can also be use to settle issues.
Some parents who are smokers do not care if a kid is around the world just lit up a cigarette and smoke infront of their kids, this is totally wrong, kids should not be exposed to smoking and drinking at an early stage in life because at this point they can't differentiate what a kid is allowed to do and what is exclusive for adults , children at that early age just know how to copy whatever they see an adult doing.

Do you check the company your children keep? it is very important to know your children's friends, most friends can influence the attitude and behavior of your child, be sure to know their family, how the behave and if you do not like or do not feel comfortable with them you can simply talk to your child letting him or her to know the reasons you understand want them to keep such a friend.

I notice how some parents force things on their children like the clothes ,shoes, colors, what to eat and drink without giving the children reasons why they are doing that, some children would think their parents do not love them, tell your kid why eating late at night is not good, talk to them about choices and the consequences of those choices, by that the child would understand that you are looking out for them and you want the best for them.
We should also learn how to help our children out with their home works, by this you can establish a healthy relationship with the children by talking to telling them about how your day at the office went and also ask them how their day also went, by this they kids would trust you enough to tell you what happened to them or what they did to other children and you would use that opportunity to correct them if they did something or encourage them if they did something good.

As parents we are they the first Role Models to our children so we should always try to influence them in a positive way. These kids watch us closely and learn from us, because when we get it right at the family level and teach our kids good morals it would in turn make the society at a whole to be a better place.
