　　As　regards　the　development　of　moral　standards　in　the　growing　child,　consistency　is　very　important　in　parental　teaching.　To　forbid　a　thing　one　day　and　excuse　it　the　next　is　no　foundation　for　morality(道德).　Also,　parents　should　realize　that"example　is　better　than　precept".　If　they　are　not　sincere　and　do　not　practise　what　they　preach　(说教),　their　children　may　grow　confused,　and　emotionally　insecure　when　they　grow　old　enough　to　think　for　themselves,　and　realize　they　have　been　to　some　extent　fooled.　?ァ?
