Another aspect of raising pious children is to be fair by treating all of one’s children equally. A child should not be praised or encouraged more than the other siblings as this can create enmity between the children. The only time it can be acceptable to buy a gift for one sibling only is on special occasions such as birthdays.
It is important to teach children a balance between being stingy and wasteful. A parent should spend on things when it is necessary to spend but should avoid extravagance and waste. In this day and age children are very conscious of the clothes their wear and the things they possess. In many cases, this behaviour can even effect their confidence when interacting with others. In order to provide confidence to one’s child a parent should spend on these things without being wasteful as providing confidence to a child is an invaluable gift a parent can give them. It is important to note, this does not mean a child should be spoiled as this can lead to other negative traits, such as pride. Not all requests from children should be fulfilled only the reasonable ones which are within limits should be especially, on special occasions or to encourage them to work harder. Showing this balance practically to one’s children is an excellent way for them to adopt this balanced approach when they become older.
It is important for parents to treat each other with respect especially, in front of their children. When a person disrespects their spouse in front of their children it will only cause the children to lose respect for both parents. In fact, a child will even adopt this attitude and disrespect others in the same way their parents disrespect each other.
In addition, parents should not criticize other relatives in front of their children as this will cause their children to lose respect for their relatives. It is extremely difficult to uphold the ties and rights of relatives when one has little respect for them. Unfortunately, this is an aspect of raising pious children often overlooked by parents especially, Asian parents.
Another aspect of raising pious children is for a parent not to criticize their child over every single matter especially, trivial ones. It is best to firstly criticize them over more important matters, such as lying. If a parent desires to criticize over small matters they should do so kindly as small matters do not need to be addressed harshly.
