How to teach your children to use awareness
Do not lose detail and take good note of how to get your child to use their conscience correctly
All parents want to raise children who are conscientious in their actions and thoughts, who know how to do the right thing even when no one is looking at them. It’s a shame to see so many cases of bullying, sexting, cyberbullying, cheating on exams, stealing, insulting … where children act badly and it seems they don’t care about the consequences.
Children who have a good understanding of right and wrong from an early age will do better. Parents have a great influence on what children learn about good behaviors. Parents should follow a positive parenting where communication is correct, there are good values and all this has more impact than the social media that is in front of the children all the time. Parents should be a good example of positive behavior and good judgment.

BEWARE OF THE INTERNET
The Internet is a place that children must learn to handle so that their critical judgment does not dirty, in fact, it must be a place that with the help of parents, helps them understand that not everything is what it seems and that the world is full of good people, but also people who are not so good.
It is necessary to work on the ability to feel empathy, have integrity and use judgment well . In order to better work on conscience, it is important that children experience and learn that emotional ups and downs are natural and that this will make them be themselves in the future. You need to educate your children so that they know what to think when you are not by their side to guide them.
When children become adolescents, both equals and fears also guide them in the process of understanding good and evil. They need to learn to listen to that inner voice that guides them and warns them of what is right and what could make them feel bad.
HELP YOUR CHILDREN DEVELOP THEIR CONSCIENCE
Movies with positive values
When you want to see a movie one night with your children, think carefully about the one you want to see.

WHAT THEY LIVE DAILY
