Positive
Values
The more your
child develops
positive values that
guide her or his
behavior, the more
likely he or she is
to make positive
choices and grow
up healthy.
FAST FACTS
Values shape our
relationships, our
behaviors, our choices,
and our sense of who we
are. The more positive our
values, the more positive our
actions.
By helping our children
develop positive values and
modeling positive behavior
based on values, we:
• Help them listen to their
conscience.
• Build their integrity.
• Encourage them to help
others.
• Help them become
independent.
• Encourage their ability to tell right from
wrong.
• Give them a way to figure out how to be
happy.
“The values you teach your children are
their best protection from the influences of
peer pressure and the temptations of
consumer culture,” say Richard and Linda
Eyre, authors of TeachingYourChildren Values.
“With their own values clearly defined,your
children can make their own decisions—
rather than imitate
their friends or the
latest fashions.”
The Importance of Values
Easy Ways to Build Assets for and with Your Child
