THE STORY OF THE FATHER AND THE SON
In fact, children mimic the behavior of those they spend the most time around. Parents should teach children through their actions: to be calm, kind, compassionate, thoughtful, helpful, caring, etc.
So, from the pure and great love for children, parents should show it wisely. Wise parents know how to make their children agree and are willing to listen to parents. When children do something wrong, simply scolding them will only make children not want to listen to their parents anymore. So, say what children like to hear, and make them agree with parents by praising words and understanding their needs. If someone does something wrong, they tend not to accept others’ criticism of it, and they will become defensive. But if parents can understand, accept, and forgive their children, then their children will feel regret and feel sorry for what they did and will be willing to listen to their parents.
From a different perspective, children should be "good" children: listen, show respect, do well in school, have compassion, have understanding, self-discipline, and appreciation. It will be expressed through appropriate behavior and concern and compassion for others. The goal of being good children is not really about giving parents a little less grief (though they will welcome that). Becoming "good" children will put us on the path toward becoming happy, successful, and "good" adults.
I hope you each have a happy family by considering other family members first!
