Hari Om Dear Parenting Culture CommUnity! We hope you had a wonderful week! Last class, we explored the Parenting Challenge of Instilling Values with Shankarji!
🎓Recap (January 22, 2024)
🌺 From a Vedic standpoint: our primary duty as parents is to nurture Dharmic children dedicated to the collective good, instilling selflessness and fostering virtues. 🌱
👨👩👧👦 Raising virtuous children contributes to society and leaves a positive impact that lasts beyond our lifetime. 🌍
How do we instill values?
👀 Model desired behavior - Actions speak louder than words. For instance, demonstrate generosity and accept new responsibilities willingly. 👏
🚧 Set clear and consistent expectations to maintain boundaries and enforce responsibility.📏
🗣️ Share values verbally within the context of sacred and secular role models.🕉️
🧐 Monitor the content children consume.📱
📘 Cultivate integrity by creating daily routines, promoting intentionality, and boosting confidence through consistent fulfillment of responsibilities. 🕰️
