Responsibility is the cornerstone of all family values. A child's basic values provide the foundation for learning-and nearly everything else a child does. Values control his understanding of right and wrong, his attitude toward work and helping others, his feelings about honesty, and the way he views others different from himself. This booklet suggests that parents consciously decide on important values to teach children using examples of commonly-held core values such as obedience, compassion, fairness, tolerance, responsibility, gratitude, courtesy and diligence. It details effective ideas parents can use to teach these values at home that in turn will build responsibility in their children.
