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.

We are often told that our 'value' diminishes with each person we give ourselves to sexually, but I believe pleasurable, casual sex with full consent made me a better, more honest, and deeply caring person.

It was a regular afternoon, and we were having lunch on the bleachers in the basketball court at school, when the question was first posed.

Even the most loving mother turns into a monster, when there is just 20 minutes left to check into the school and the child is playing with her socks and boots. Even the mother who believes only in the happiness of her child, ends up pointing to the past mistakes and predicting the future doom of the kid’s life, due to the fact that a negative remark from an outsider about her child had sat comfortably in her mind for a long time. Even the mother, known for her patience, loses her cool on seeing her kid’s report card.
Many children will come across porn in some fashion as they grow up. If you caught your child with porn, shaming them will not help. Here's what to do.
Now, many people masturbate to either their own sexual fantasies or rely on external material a.k.a porn. Porn, however, is another taboo subject even among many who consider themselves open minded and modern. Parents are horrified if they catch teens browsing porn – even more so than if they catch their teen smoking and many have no clue how to react, except with disgust, embarrassment and anger.
But on the one hand if I am encouraging my kids to explore their sexuality, then is it not hypocritical to tell them that porn is off limits? Besides, in this age of internet, with easy access to porn, is there any point in forbidding them? Won’t that make it all the more tempting for them to explore it behind our backs? We can install all the cyber-security we want, but teens will find a way on other computers outside our control.
