Rights & Responsibilities do come hand in hand.

Most essential thing every child or person must learn.

Parents must point out to the child that for every rights that he demands, there are responsibilities that comes with the rights. For example the rights to pocket money, acquiring hp, sleep over at a friends place or go to a movie.

If the child dodges the responsibility, he looses the right.

Similarly when a child or a person demands the rights to be treated with respect..
then it also comes with the responsibility to treat others with respect...

If he swears or yells at you, he looses the rights to your respect.
You can stop listening to him until he can be respectful again.

So, teach your child the value of rights for ..He can't always expect something for nothing!!

Schooling vs Education

Schooling your children is not at all the same thing as educating them.

The school gives information, teaches you how to learn, some analytical skills such as long division and grammar, how to play the recorder and gives you ample practices on sports activities and the likes..

Educating is more than that..

Educating teaches children how to think for themselves,  how to be assertive, how to resolve argument amicably, how to treat people with respect, how to face their fears, how to be a good looser or a good winner, which behavior is and isn't socially acceptable and so on...

Point is... it is the school's job to school the children ..But.. its your job as parents to educate them.

So parents.. be involved in educating your children less they will miss a big chunk of skills needed to face the challenges in life.
