It’s McKlinky Blog Hop Monday and I LOVE the theme for this week. Three things every parent should teach their kids. Below I have listed Three things (there are many more!) I feel are important. They are by no means the most important but valuable for children to know.
Three Things all Parents should Teach their children
- Be Kind to others – Do unto others as you would have done to you. This is such an important lesson for life. I always remind my children that they should treat others kindly and as they would like others to treat them!
- Everybody makes mistakes, the important thing is to learn from them. Of course, we try to teach them to make the right decisions, but everyone makes mistakes. It is important for children to understand this and try to learn how to not make the mistake in the future. Children don’t like to acknowledge their mistakes, they fear getting in trouble. Making it safe to say they made a mistake gives them the opportunity to learn from it. I always give examples of my own mistakes and how I learned from them.
- Love yourself. I want my children to feel good about themselves from the inside. I try to emphasize the importance of being ok with themselves and having respect for themselves. This is particularly important as kids get older.
What are your 3 lessons you feel children should learn?

Of the three things you mentioned above, the one I emphasize more to my kids is the third one – love yourself. I firmly believe that everything comes from the love within and if one has enough love for herself or himself, then that person has a lot of love to give to others. Excellent tips!

Great post! I think that the 3 things mentioned are all vital for helping your child to grow and be healthy. I think that helping our children to learn to love themselves will help them to love and be kind to others. ..as well as by loving themselves they will accept their mistakes more readily….leading them to learn from their mistakes and then move on. Thanks for the post.
