1 " Courtesy is not learned by instinct. Like the other components of respect, courtesy has to be taught and modeled. "
― Brian Apollo , How to Value Your Sons
2 " Positive values establish the foundation of good citizenship and contribute to being a productive part of society. "
3 " Respect, love, and accountability may seem like the common sense choices of positive values, but in actuality, they are under attack. There are faulty values out there to counteract these positive values and it is up to you to make sure those faulty values do not guide your son down a road he was not meant to travel. "
4 " Children appreciate quality time spent with their parents, which nurture the emotional bonding between them. "
5 " Children who become disrespectful strengthen their esteem not by doing better, but by tearing others down so they appear stronger in comparison. They learn how to prejudge others, but will be angered when they are prejudged. "
6 " Parents have to teach their sons that different loves exist and they should not express love towards everyone in the same way. "
7 " Do not forget, your children are learning not only from what you say but from what you do. "
8 " I believe selfishness, competition, and rejection can be dangerous and can overpower love if not addressed. "
9 " Children may make mistakes, but we should never make them feel unloved or unvalued when they do. Their self-image may suffer as a result of this practice, they may believe their mistake is a part of them or personifies the mistake. "
10 " One aspect of teaching children how to be accountable is to allow them to make controlled choices on their own and practice avoiding rash choices. "
