Teaching children modesty

Think your children are too young to learn modesty and respect? You might think again. Most parents work with their children at a young age teaching them to respect others. Teaching modesty and self-respect should happen at very young age.

When children wanted to know why the door was closed gong to the bathroom, Tell them that I needed my privacy. Soon, as they were potty training, they too wanted their privacy. I have always been modest about dressing in front of my children. Your children should see you fully clothed at all times. I began to let out a little "Ah!" when they opened the door when I was dressing. Soon they too wanted privacy. The issue was never pushed in our home, only modeled.

Your children should never wonder around in their underwear. My wife and I don't wonder around outside our bedroom without clothing. When someone comes to the door, I might say, "Hurry up and get some clothes on. So early on, our children have an awareness of their body and clothing.

We need a generation of people teaching our families regarding modesty from the day they we're born. If dressing modesty is right they should be taught from the day they are born.
