Lack of home training is one of the reasons why many youths fail in the society, I've witness a situation whereby a father sent his son to buy cigarette and smokes it in his presence, in some other homes you'll see mother's using foul words on their husband, In the presence of their kids, all these are not good upbringing and affects the children negatively which in turn affects the society.
What are those measures you think parents should take in bringing up a better home?
The ability to instill the virtues of discipline and respect in their children should be the first priority for any parent. A large number of spoiled children in society can be ascribed to a lack of parental guidance and monitoring from a young age. Family is the initial fundamental and first step of socialization in society; if that is lacking, you will end up producing a nuisance in society.
Peer groups, religious groups, and organizations enter the picture after the child has become acquainted with the family; there is little or nothing these bodies can do to change the child if they have already been spoilt at home, and there is more for them to do because they can easily spoil the child if they already had a good upbringing at home. They both have an impact on each other and must be addressed accordingly by educating the child on the proper way.
