Parents Need to Be Role Models for Teenagers
To effectively guide our children, we must embody the qualities we want to instill in them.
Summary
The essence of effective parenting is to become what we wish our children to grow into.Article
Being a parent means exemplifying the values you teach. Parents must represent the ideals they want their children to adopt. A key element of this is demonstrating personal integrity and nurturing a loving and respectful marriage. One of the greatest gifts parents can offer their children, beyond life itself, is a home that is peaceful, warm, accepting, and secure. This foundation begins with a strong, loving marital relationship.
Through this partnership, parents can showcase effective communication, genuine love, respectful disagreement, and fair negotiation. They embody virtues such as kindness, determination, and patience. By maintaining high standards, they demonstrate consistency in their guidance and show keen interest in their children's activities and growth. This involvement helps children feel valued and important.
All guidance should be offered in a supportive manner, avoiding harsh judgment or criticism. A parent can only teach values they truly possess and exemplify. What we embody speaks louder than words, and this authenticity is essential for genuine teaching. Parents cannot lead children to places they haven't reached themselves. Children are perceptive and can detect insincerity or hypocrisy, making it crucial for parents to practice what they preach.
The principle isn't to instruct with "Do what I say, not what I do." As the saying goes, "I cannot hear what you say when what you are thunders so loudly in my ears!" Parents must model the behavior they wish to cultivate in their children.
In boarding schools for troubled teenagers, this modeling is equally critical. Staff must uphold high standards and serve as unwavering role models. If you're considering enrolling your troubled teen in a behavior modification program, ensure that the staff exemplify the virtues and principles necessary for genuine positive influence.
No shortcuts or substitutes exist for being a virtuous role model. Whether we realize it or not, we are always setting an example for our children. We have the choice to be either positive or negative influences in their lives.
