10 Important Values To Teach Your Male Child:

1. Be A Good Sport: Teach your male child to be humble when he wins and graceful in defeat. Encourage him to perform to the best of his ability and also motivate others to do the same. Playing with your child is one of the best ways of instilling this quality in him.

2. Take Responsibility For Actions: A good man is quick to admit when he is wrong and face the consequences of his actions. So, teach your male child to act only after careful consideration. And if things go wrong, to accept the responsibility and try to set the situation right. Also, make him understand that blaming others for his misfortunes isn't the right thing to do.

3. Be Charitable: The ability to give is one of the greatest spiritual assets. According to Mahatma Gandhi, "The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful than a thousand heads bowing in prayer." By modeling generosity, teach your male child the importance of being generous and caring. Make him understand that to give is much more fulfilling and satisfying than to simply receive.

4. Work Hard: The ability to work hard and give the best in every situation is a trait that is admired by one and all. Making your child learn the importance of hard work will not only help him excel in academics but will also serve him well in his career later. So, always encourage him to toil relentlessly without worrying about success or failure. This will help your male child learn to focus on the effort and not the outcome.

5. Express Emotions: "Crying is only for girls", "Take it like a man", "Big boys don't cry", are some of the phrases boys often hear while growing up. As a result, most men never feel comfortable expressing their emotions. Withholding emotions can lead to serious problems later, such as the inability to build and sustain meaningful personal and work relationships. Therefore, develop emotional literacy in your male child and teach him that a man's real strength comes from accepting and expressing his emotions, not from repressing them.

6. Show Respect For Others: Showing respect for others is a virtue every individual must possess. From a young age, help your male child learn how to be respectful of others. If he ever asks you why that is so important, remind him of the golden rule 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'. Your son must see you model respectful behavior towards everyone, irrespective of their gender, age, social status, race, or sexual orientation.

7. Be Honest: We all know the adage 'Honesty is the best policy'. An honest individual is not only considered righteous but also trustworthy. So, appreciate your son whenever he displays honesty. Explain to your male child that although a lie may save him from getting into trouble at the moment it is always the truth that prevails.

8. Show Tolerance And Appreciation: Being judgmental or critical of others makes a person unapproachable. Therefore, help your male child learn to be kind and forgiving when others make mistakes, and to show his appreciation when someone puts in sincere effort even if the result is not to his liking.

9. Stay True To Yourself: Nowadays it is not uncommon to want to be popular or in an advantageous position. And for this, some are even willing to sacrifice their values and principles. Help your male child learn how to listen to his conscience and make choices that resonate with his values, irrespective of what others around him are doing.

10. Prayer And Scripture: Teach your male child how to pray and study the Scripture with him. Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it."
