Tips for Teaching Family Values

No parent wants their kid to be a bully. But how can we teach them to be ethical without being preachy? Here are some tips:

• Children want and need to know about your childhood.

• Parents need to model the family's values, not just preach them.

• Encourage your child's spontaneity and your own.

• Don't 'over plan' your kid's childhood.

• Appreciate your child's efforts rather than focusing on his accomplishments.

• Kids need to have a say in the family.
