Get the best out of your child

By June Cheong

Consistency is key to imparting values you want your child to have.

Adjunct Associate Professor John Wong, senior consultant in the department of psychological medicine at National University Hospital, said: "Parents need to be clear on matters like moral and religious values.

"Many young parents start families without thinking through what their values system is. Parenting begins as soon as a couple discusses when to conceive, where to build a family and so on."

Mind Your Body talks to psychiatrists and psychologists on how parents can influence their child's moral values.
