How to raise a child with good character

Good values are getting a lot of good press. Schools have resorted to offering courses on the subject, but when it comes to teaching honesty, compassion, and responsibility, parents can do it best. Here are some desired qualities and how to achieve them.
1. Start early and be a good example. Begin with yourself. If you want your child to be considerate of others, be considerate yourself. And try saying something like, "I love it that you're so kind." Ask your children what values are most important to your family. If they can't tell you, they don't know.
2. Practice honesty and let kids see you do it. Give the child's right age when buying a movie ticket. Tell the checkout person to be sure to charge you for the candy bar the child ate.
3. Give time and love. Kids have a profound need for your love. Dr. Elizabeth Berger, author of Raising Children with Character, says store-bought stuff never satisfies the need. Spend time with your child.
4. Be consistent. If you say grace at home, say it at a restaurant too. Always return the money if you are given too much change. Stealing is stealing.
5. Speak out against prejudice. Let your child know that everyone is a person to be appreciated, even if they dress differently or look differently.
Always praise kids when they do the right thing.
