How important is it for children to learn life lessons early?

I believe that it is never too early to teach children important life lessons. The saying goes: children learn what they see and will copy that behavior good or bad early on in life.

What must we do to ensure that our children get the right examples to follow? Well, first of all, we must demonstrate these lessons for them every day.

What are the most important life lessons? Parents will want their children to learn certain valuable life lessons.

These are the life lessons that I want my children and grandchildren to take with them and carry-on to their own offspring.

  1. Be kind.
  2. Be gracious.
  3. Help others in need.
  4. Don’t judge others by the color of their skin, religion, etc.
  5. Believe in yourself.
  6. Don’t be afraid of trying something new.
  7. Don’t get discouraged if things don’t work out the first time.
  8. Remember that you are loved.
  9. You are special!
  10. Choose your friends wisely.
  11. Not everyone is going to agree with you no matter what you do.
  12. Don’t go along with the crowd – do your own thing – the right thing!
  13. Be humble
  14. Be respectful of others
  15. Learn from your mistakes and own up to them.
  16. Stand up for others who cannot stand up for themselves.
  17. Be your own person, don’t compare yourself to others – you are unique.
  18. Apologize when you do hurt someone.
  19. Know that I am here for you if you need me.
  20. Follow your dreams.
  21. Life can be tough – be strong.
  22. Take care of yourself – mind, body and soul.
  23. Appreciate the beauty around you and be thankful to God for everything you have.
  24. Remember family is important and are your backbone for support.
  25. Be careful online with all the technology and don’t post something that you will regret later. It never goes away!
  26. Laugh each day and stay positive – good for your mind and body.
  27. Remember you are loved always!

I’m sure I will think of more as I close this as you will too. There are so many things that we need to teach our children to prepare them for this world. We cannot be with them always but if we instill in them these important life lessons early and often they will be successful adults one day.

I am amazed when I look at my grandchildren, all five of them. They are so beautiful and handsome, smart and talented. I believe that they will be successful one day and already are becoming that way. My grandchildren range from ages 11-27. I think. Haha. I can’t keep up with them. My husband has three grandchildren and two great grandchildren ages 10-34, I guess?

My three eldest grandsons are musically talented. They all sing beautifully, can act, a little dancing, and one composes amazing compositions that are used by the college he attends. I can’t tell you how proud I am of them all!

My youngest grandson is an outstanding athlete. No matter what sport, he tries he excels at it. It’s amazing to watch him. Unfortunately, I don’t get to see him in action a lot since he travels to different places and it is at night sometimes. I don’t drive at night anymore due to eye issues.

My only granddaughter is a talented dancer. She is gorgeous in every way. I know, we all think our grandchildren are beautiful, handsome, smart and talented. Well, I think they are and one day I will share some of my grandson’s compositions, if he lets me. Maybe I can convince them to sing together and share their beautiful voices here too. Someday.

When people ask me where they got their talent, of course, I say it’s from me! Haha! I did sing in a chorus which was part of Sweet Adolines International for a short time. Also, my father’s family sang, danced and played instruments. My maternal grandparents sang in a band and played an instrument too. I used to sing with my grandfather when I was young as he played his mandolin. If you have never heard a mandolin before – it is the sweetest sound you will ever hear. I sang as a soplano to keep in tune back then. Now I sing lower if I sing at all – in the shower most of the time. Haha!

Well, I guess I have gone on long enough bragging about my grandchilden. I will see them at Easter, at least most of them along with all my nieces nephews and their children. Fun times!

I hope you will have a wonderful day filled with all good things. Happy spring and a Blessed Easter!

  1. The earlier the better for children to learn important life lessons. I was fortunate to have parents who gave me the gift of ‘self discipline’ from a very early age…..I am so grateful for this.

  2. They need to learn those lessons early. If they don’t, they encounter people like me when they’re an adult and we put them in places they don’t want to be full of other people who didn’t learn those lessons.
