“Is there no clearer revelation of the soul of a society than the way it treats its children?”
(Nelson Mandela)
- Ideally in early childhood education is to teach the child to be a good.
- Friendly and helpful person; if we succeed.
- We will contribute to its development and success in the future.
If a child is able to maintain a peaceful environment and not create problems generated by selfishness or aggression, he will be loved by all and will grow up with a healthy self-esteem.
Nice children are more sensitive to the treatment of people, the world and animals; all of this leads to a much better world.
Of course, this is not an easy task, so let’s talk today about five keys that will help build the goodness of children.
Teaching our children the importance of gratitude is like building the first floor of a great castle, the magic words (please and thank you) will open all the doors, as they will be your best business card.
Gratitude is the first step in goodness and compassion flowing naturally.
We must not force our children to say magic words without first teaching them their true meaning. It’s not just about thanking you, it’s about being grateful for everything you have: for your toys, for the care you receive, for the opportunities?
The child needs to know and understand that gratitude generates good feelings and reciprocity, and thus he will realize the value of everything he has and achieves.
Solidarity is giving what we have, not what’s left
As with all aspects of life, we are an example to our children, we must teach them the value of sharing and helping those who have needed it most since they were little.
So participate in joint projects designed to solve community problems, do humanitarian work, so that your life is an example of how to improve the lives of others. Social engagement is a very important motivation and adults and teachers have a duty to teach.
“Since we were little they have taught us how a body, its organs, its bones, its functions, but we never knew how the soul was made. “
(Mr. Benedetti)
This is another brick with which we will engulf children’s ability to be benevolent. Children need to learn to recognize and control their emotions.
The purpose of emotional intelligence is to cultivate goodness, making it grow with empathy and love, emotions serve as motivation, but also as a starting point for good communication, in which respect and recognition to others will always be present.
“When you want something you have to collaborate. If you want to get there fast, walk alone: if you want to get far, walk in a group ?.
(African Proverb)
We know very well that children are able to collaborate and are very excited about it, so whenever possible, we must let them cooperate with the tasks and teach them that every effort has their reward.
Educating our children, teaching them moral values, and cultivating their knowledge is putting the world at your fingertips. We can say that if they do not know that they can reach the moon, they will not try to reach it; then give them a ladder?.
It is very important to give our children the opportunity to grow up, to cultivate child kindness, compassion and empathy in their hearts, in this way we will promote their happiness and well-being, and of course, the rest of the world as well.
