How to teach your Teenage Boys to respect Women
As they say, boys will always be boys. However, it is sad to know that some of them do not treat women nicely. Some of them even think that women were created as toys and sex objects. You must admit that your son can be a notorious maniac someday. Therefore, we as parents should teach them how to grow to be the best gentlemen they can be, and that women are as important as they are. As a man and a father of a boy and a girl, here are some of my tips and hope you find them useful.
Start at home
I am always mentioning this because I believe it is home where our child starts to learn first. Teach your teenage boys how to do some household activities like cooking and washing clothes. By doing this, he will be able to understand that it is also hard to be a woman and they were born with equal rights. Do not allow anybody in the house to share green jokes in front of him. More importantly, educate him how to respect his sister, aunt, grandmother and most especially, his mother.
Know his friends
Most of the time, it is his so-called friends who teach him to disrespect women. You may see him normal or respectful at home, but how about if he is with his classmates and friends? His surroundings can be a great influence to him as he is growing up to be a man. A simple stranger can dress like a friend with an attractive offer but will demolish his character in the long run. Protect your son like what you do to your daughter.
Know his habits
Does your teenage boy prefer to have indecent posters of women in his room, rather than expensive cars? Do you usually catch him hiding some magazines or DVDs from you? Although you might think that it is worst that he likes to talk about men rather than women, you should also be aware how he talks about them. If telling dirty jokes about women makes him enjoy, then you should act immediately before it is too late. Have a watchful eye towards his words and actions.
Do not spoil him
If he is easily getting what he wants, then he is more prone to overpower women. He will feel like a king and may think that women are the weaker sex. Do not think that because he is a man, he can flirt with girls anytime he wants to. It is so wrong to think that after all, he got nothing to loose. Never tolerate his wrongdoings just because he is a boy. Give him punishments that he deserves. If he can hurt other boys, what more can he do towards women?
Respect all women for she is our mother.
