Fulfilling this and figuring out what they think is the “right” way to go about parenting is a great responsibility.

However today’s children tend to not be thought of with these characteristics. They are usually assumed to be spoiled rats that lack most good behaviors. Our youngsters are supposedly being molded by culture and don’t display any ideals that past generations respected.

Values are one of the most important traits handed down from parent to child. Parents often pass lessons on regardless of whether they intend to do so, subconsciously acting as the conductor of a current that flows through their children and into generations beyond.
