For better parenting it is important to teach values to kids. This starts from making them learn to adapt & understand the values at an early age which on the one hand makes it easy for them to learn & on the other hand encourage them to become better kids.
Values that needs to be taught to kids:
Honesty
Help the kids to be honest. If they do mistakes they should learn to accept it instead of hiding it or blaming others by defending themselves. If kids will learn to be honest they will never be cowardly or timid. Being honest helps them to follow the path of truth which leads them to become self dependent & become responsible.
Justice
Help the kids to make amends. If kids do any thing wrong to their friends or any other person then we as a parents should insist that they find a way to compensate as it will encourage them to be a good person instead of saying sorry which seems easy for kids & doesn’t let them think how to improve their mistakes. By encouraging the child through such gestures we as parents emphasize the importance of treating people well that will one day help them to negotiate the complicated world of peer group relationships.
Determination
Encourage the kids to take challenges. We as a parents should encourage our kids to be determined in whatever they do by letting them do things that don’t come so easily. The capability of taking challenges makes kids confident and brave enough to deal with the difficult situations that would arise in the future. If they do well, we as parents should encourage them and if kids fail in their efforts they should be encouraged to do better then before.
Consideration
Teach the kids to think about others’ feelings. We as parents should inculcate empathy in them. Kids should have an empathic attitude towards others. Every person has their own problems, their point of view & their way of thinking. The best way is to have empathy is understanding things from others’ point of view. As it’s a fact that every thing that is true and good for us cannot be good and true for others. This understanding when inbuilt in kids helps them to deal with the various problems that comes in relationships whether its friendship, family or professional relationships.

“What is a woman’s job, Ramesh? Taking care of parents-in-law, husband, children, home and things at work—all at the same time? She isn’t God or a superhuman."
The arrays of workstations were occupied by people peering into their computer screens. The clicks of keyboard keys were punctuated by the occasional footsteps moving around to brainstorm or collaborate with colleagues in their cubicles. Most employees went about their tasks without looking at the person seated on either side of their workstation. Meenakshi was one of them.
The thirty-one-year-old marketing manager in a leading eCommerce company in India sat straight in her seat, her eyes on the screen, her fingers punching furiously into the keys. She was in a flow and wanted to finish the report while the thoughts and words were coming effortlessly into her mind.
Natu-Natu. The mellifluous ringtone interrupted her thoughts. She frowned at her mobile phone with half a mind to keep it ringing until she noticed the caller’s name on the screen, making her pick up the phone immediately.
