怎样教导孩子

trender

不久前我的一个同事与我分享了一份很有意义的材料--美国童子军的守则（US Boy Scout
Law）。我把这份材料作为我教孩子的家庭教材，让孩子读，讲解。今年夏天，送孩子去本地中文学校，我把这份材料带去请老师用来督促孩子检视自己行为。为避免其他家长因宗教信仰不同而抱怨，我在不影响原意的基础上去掉了宗教内容，并译成中文。老师很喜欢，觉得其他孩子也可用。在此与大家分享这份材料。

原文有十二条。第十二条为纯宗教内容，去掉后成了现在的十一条。改写后的英文标题为“To Be A Good
Person”。

OBEDIENT

To be a good person, I follow the rules of my family, school, and

I think these rules and laws are unfair, I try to have them changed

around with those who believe in living by these and same ideals. I
help keep my home community clean
