The most valuable lesson my parents have taught me is to admit mistakes. This is one on the many valuable lessons my parents taught me while I was growing up. I know it isn't easy to admit your mistakes because as a child I always got into trouble. The consequences are much more severe if you lie and try to get away with your mistake. It takes more than one lie to cover up your mistake. If you were to be telling the truth you will be saving time, and you might not even get punished because you owned up to what you did wrong and you will have learnt your lesson. This also makes you a better person because you don't lie as much.
ReplyDeletegood blog
DeleteYeah, that is a very valuable lesson to be learned.
DeleteA valuable lesson that my parents have taught me is to know my right from wrong, by teaching me right and wrong I know not to hit or be mean to people. It also taught me how to share and how to be nice to others. This lesson is very valuable because now I know how to do the right things instead of the wrong.
ReplyDeleteThAts a very valuable lesson
DeleteA valuable lesson my parents have taught me to be kind. You need to treat others the way you want to be treated. To find a good friend, you need to be a good friend. They also brought me up having to say the classic; Please, and thank you.. ect.
ReplyDeleteI think being kind is very important.
DeleteI think my dad has taught me many valuable lessons. But I think the best one was to keep your head down and do your work. Basically what he means is that whenever you feel like you have a lot of distractions or things that annoy you in your day to day life to just push them aside. It does nothing to make a big deal out of something, because no matter how annoying or distressed you feel about a particular thing or person you most likely can’t change your situation. So if you keep your head down, and do your work everything will eventually fall into place. I think this lesson is valuable because you will always come across things that distress but you can’t change, so if you stay focused on the important things and disregard unimportant things, everything will be okay.
ReplyDeletei like this
DeleteI agree with your father and I think this is a really great lesson.
Deletewow thats so good
DeleteA valuable lesson that one of my parents taught me is to not lie. Even tough it can be tempting sometimes like if I do bad on a test they will eventually find out and get even more mad, so I tend to not lie. The reason why I find this as such a valuable lesson is to make me a better person and always think about why would I do that if I have to lie to someone.
ReplyDeleteThats true. Lies get you nowhere in life.
DeleteThat's a very good lesson your parents taught you
DeleteOne of the most valuable lessons my mom has taught me is honesty. Growing up I didn’t lie much but when I did and she found out, I got in serious trouble. She gave me good examples of how speaking the truth is always the best alternative and that the most important thing is to keep honest to yourself. Everytime I need her help and advice she will reinforce those values and I really appreciate the way she raised me.
ReplyDeletethats very important lesson to learn

Deletea important lesson my mom and dad taught me was not to lie and be respectful around adults. it came in very handy because every time im with adults they always say how respectful i am and even the people i talk to say im very nice. its valuable because as a lot of people know men with no matters dont get the ladys.
ReplyDeleteOne of the lessons my dad taught me was to work hard in life. Because your not going to go anywhere in life if you don't work hard in school or even at sports,so I think that working hard is a lesson you have to teach everyone one because most people like to do the things easier but in life you need to work hard at your goals so you can succeed.
ReplyDeleteThe most valuable lesson my parents have taught me is to never lie and if you do admit them after you do because lying is bad. Even though i don't listen to this rule much:) its bad to lie because it can effect your future because know one will trust you anymore. I don't lie i only doit when its necessary :)
ReplyDeletemy parents always tell me that to
DeleteMy dad taught me that I have to try to do my best in everything I do. Doesn't matter what is it, if it is a school work or something really important: always do your best! He also taught me that I can actually do better than I think I can, I just have to believe in myself and work hard! All this lessons helped me to be the person I am today and I am really grateful for them.
ReplyDeleteA valuable lesson that my parents have taught me was to always try your best. My parents have always tried to teach me that because if you try your best, then you'll succeed in life. My parents always tell me that because they want me to succeed in life, have a great job and to have a successful future.
ReplyDeleteDo you try at soccer stars?
DeleteWell an important lesson my parents tought me was to never eat chewed gum. It's kind of obvious but still can save my life. If I took some gum off the bottom of a seat off of a city bus I can get diseases and die. Its important because I can get very sick if my parents didnt tell me not to eat chewed gum.
ReplyDeleteThe most valuable lesson that my parents taught me is to never lie. They taught me that lying will never get you anywhere in life and you will only have regrets if you lie. I am personally not the best at lying, and when I do tell you a lie, I will most likely feel very bad, and tell you the truth in the same day I told you the lie. It is a lifeskill that I believe is very useful and I am very thankful my parents for teaching me this lesson.
ReplyDeleteThis is also true but people still do it anyways.
DeleteFirst of all we should all say a valuable lesson we’ve all learned from our parents is to walk and talk. They also help with homework but besides that parent are usually working and you have to figure out things yourself which you could also call that a valuable lesson because it helps you solve your own problems in the future.
ReplyDeletea very important lesson that my dad has thought me to always be the best that I can. Hes always told me that we need to learn to except ourselves and love ourselves before anything else because that's the key to happiest is to expect yourself and that's always stick because if you dont love yourself how are you supposed to love others. Ill carry that lesson for the rest of my life.
ReplyDeleteMy parents have taught me multiple things... they taught me how to behave properly how to eat and how to push myself to the limit.
