Raising a Well-Behaved Child in the Tradition of the Past

"Teaching children from a young age, when they are innocent and naive, before habits and negative beliefs have a chance to influence them, is the easiest and best time for parents to educate their children to become filial."

Maintain a respectful attitude in all situations

When parents love their children, it is natural for children to be filial to their parents. However, when parents treat their children too strictly, or even with an unfavorable attitude, it becomes difficult for children to be filial.

Especially in such situations, if children can understand their parents’ intentions and reflect on themselves, making improvements, it would be most admirable.

As children, if advice is not accepted by parents, patience is required. When the emotions of parents change for the better at the right time, one should offer advice.

Treat and care for parents respectfully

When parents are sick, it is the duty of children to take care of them with utmost dedication. If the illness becomes more serious, children should stay by their parents’ side day and night, not leaving carelessly.

If parents pass away, children must organize proper funeral arrangements, not casually or wastefully, and should not display extravagance for the sake of appearance.

Furthermore, children must maintain filial piety for three years. During that time, one should frequently remember and be grateful for the nurturing and kindness of parents.

Eliminate one’s own bad habits

As children, for the things or behaviors that parents like, one should exert all efforts to accomplish them. As for things or behaviors that parents dislike, one should strive to let go of them, make changes, and improve oneself.

Especially for one’s own bad habits, they must be eliminated and one must protect their own mind and spirit.

Many people believe that filial piety towards parents means providing for them and ensuring their well-being. However, in reality, that is not enough. Only when children become individuals with good moral character, who know how to treat others, observe propriety, and differentiate right from wrong, can parents truly be at ease. That is the most practical way to show understanding towards parents.
