Why is it important to teach values to your children?

Our values are our heritage that runs in generations. It is the biggest of all the gifts that we receive from our parents and transfer to our children. But this is the only thing that becomes our identity. The famous saying of Napoleon Bonaparte is a true reflection of this title:

 “Give me an educated mother, I shall promise you the birth of a civilized, educated nation”

The word civilized needs to be emphasized here and the main concern of this whole discussion. Now, the word civilized here includes all our values such as generosity, honesty, integrity, gratitude, respect, tolerance, faith, service, hard work, perseverance, consistency and anything else that raise our living standards and make us a responsible citizen and a family member.

Yes, only the values are such a heritage that can let a nation rule the world. But the basic learning starts from every home in a society. It is our sheer responsibility to infuse all these values in our innocent children and raise them as a responsible adult. When he is grown as a faithful, honest and generous adult he will surely play his part in the society. Following all his moral values he will never break the law, will be faithful to his responsibilities, and obligatory to his elders. No nation becomes a great nation because of its wealth and land but its people. A civilized nation can never be defeated by its rivals and won’t be afraid. Instead, an uncivilized nation will lack its respect, moral values, living standards and who knows may extinct from the map of the world.

So, being a mother or father pay attention in raising your child not mere the part of a home but as a citizen too.
