Kids with religious parents are better behaved and adjusted than other children, according to a new study that is the first to look at the effects of religion on young child development.

abut religion
Paft wrote:This makes sense. Kids in religious homes tend to have a strict set of guidelines, whatever the religion might be, that a non-religious home wouldn't nessicarilly have. And kids always behave better when the rules (and consequences for breaking them) are set out clearly and definitively.
That depends on what notions you subscribe to.RoundEye wrote:That and a fear of the boogy man is going to get you. Always having the man in the sky watching over you, is pretty good at keeping you from being bad.

I would say that your drawing your conclusions from a very small segment of the described pool.CiscoKid wrote:Well, the girls hadda wear plaid pleated skirts....
And the cops would drink with some of the kids right in front...
so yeah, how can kids from religiouse homes be more well behaved if they're stripping and drinking with cops?
Do all kids that go to a catholic school have religious parents? Nope, so you can't judge the study based on kids that go to catholic schools.CiscoKid wrote:Well, the girls hadda wear plaid pleated skirts....

), but it's often just a clear definition of what is acceptable and what is not. Contrary to most kids beliefs (or knowledge) they need boundaries to function well and they will often let a parent know that too. I was raised in a Christian home, but I was no goody two shoe. I did however know right from wrong and had a conscience. That was enough to keep me from some really stupid behavior and bad decisions. As a Father of 2 teens, I realize the value of this statement.Paft wrote:That depends on what notions you subscribe to.
God is love, not hate. A lot of people tend to "forget" that little fact and use him to push fear or hate onto other people, which in my opinion is wrong. So using God to scare your child into behaving... not cool, IMHO.
There is a common ascription that respect is garnered by fear. It is fair to say that it is the face of G-d you choose to "gaze" upon.Paft wrote:That depends on what notions you subscribe to.

What does that have to do with kids that grow up in religious homes?jeremyboycool wrote:I feel it is more important to raise kids that can think for themselves and when needed are able to tackle problems on their own.

Being offered a sound set of ethics does not contradict free thought.jeremyboycool wrote:Well if you belive like I do a lot. I feel it is better to find the answers to life on your own than to have them taught to you. I feel this way because I believe that many of our religious beliefs are wrong. Kids should be guided to find the right path by themselves, not told how to act and what to believe.
Ah, you beat me to it. People think that religion leads to not having your own free will, when it's simply just not true.....at least in my religion (Protestant)david wrote:Being offered a sound set of ethics does not contradict free thought.
"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God…
ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'
THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'
FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'
FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'
SIX: 'You shall not murder.'
SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'
EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'
NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'
TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'
This has nothing to do with ethics. I am talking about being allowed to come to one's own spiritual awareness without the pressure to conform to a religious group.david wrote:Being offered a sound set of ethics does not contradict free thought.
In a way it does. As a child, you are somewhat of a blank slate. A religious home can offer structure and ethics. If an adolescent decides to "no longer believe in the Easter Bunny", the path to spirituality is open, with the hopefully the instilled wisdom to make proper decisions along the way.jeremyboycool wrote:This has nothing to do with ethics.
