“I teach my kids that these things are right and these things are wrong. Period. And end of story.”
Many people use such a method raising their kids. As a result many of them fail as parents. I think it’s very important to give a chose to a child. Parents give him/her ability to decide and figure out things on their own. The parents should not teach the children the absolute rights or absolute wrongs. They should direct the child, so he/she would make a right moral decision but would have his/her own view of the situation. The person’s behavior should be based on the learned absolutes and extremes, but on the experience. The role of parents is to give their own experience to their children, so they would have it in mind.

When you do maths, do you tell them the result directly, or do you tell them how to do it?
A parent once told his son that he didn't know more than the son, but he just knew earlier than the son.
I think he is right. Parents experienced something earler than children, so they realize the necessity to tell them what they experienced, but it doesn't necessarily become the right answer. So tell the children what they have experienced and guide the children to make better choice. That's what parents should do.
Teach me how to fish, and don't just give me the fish.
