We want the best for our children. We want our children to get a good education, and we want <\/span>them to be good people. We want them to look out for themselves and to be responsible toward <\/span>other people. We want them to respect<\/a> themselves and others.<\/span><\/p>\n

A good kid is one who possesses qualities we admire in people, including ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get your family together and brainstorm some qualities you admire in others. One family <\/span>member can write them down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make a note about these examples <\/span>, not to show anyone, just for yourself. Then talk one-on-one with each child about <\/span>what you have seen them doing well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Telling our children personal stories is an excellent way to teach them lessons and strengthen <\/span>our relationship with them.<\/span><\/p>\n
