  • Where Integrity Starts (5-6-2010)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    We seem to have lost integrity and respect in our society today. So how can parents best teach it to their children?

    Building integrity has more to do with good parenting than anything. So, first of all, parents need to be an example of integrity. Bad habits like lying, cheating, or being disrespectful to others nearly always rub off on your children. If you’ve been dishonest, apologize to your kids and show them how you’ve worked to set it straight.

    Second, dishonesty tends to grow incrementally, so catch it early on in your children. Never tolerate even the smallest lie, cheating, or disrespect when they are young, and it won’t become a problem when they are older.
