HOW TO RAISE KIND CHILDREN?

What does kindness mean to you? When, I was young, I thought I knew what kindness meant. It means being nice to people around me, making them happy, doing the right things and good things often if possible. We all know kindnesss is important. But the most important is raise to kind kids. We all want the best for our kids. I think that's something all parents can agree on no matter who you are or what your life looks like. What kind of individual are we helping to create now? Hopefully caring, empathetic, kind human beings. Because that's what the world truly needs. So, I would like to share thoughts to help our kids grow up to be the kind generation of the future.

1) Be a good role model

Be kind to others. Treat each and every human being with respect. Express strong morals and values among people. Rise up for what is right even it is hard. Celebrate and appreciate differences in people. Be an example of a good friend. Acknowledge when someone else is being kind and talk about it—explain why their act of kindness counted. You are your child’s greatest teacher, and actions speak louder than words.

2) Show them generosity

Since kids having ability to learn rather early, it will be easy to teach them to consider the needs of others. Parents should give back, volunteer, get involved in something bigger than your day-to-day lives. There are so many lessons to be learned from volunteering, supporting a local cause, attending church, or any donating stuffs. Seeing a better picture, how their acts can inspired many lives, will give them a sense of responsibility and reinforce good values. So make service routine. Teach them to help others through volunteering, donating items, taking food to the homeless and random acts of kindness. Entitlement doesn’t take up the space of a compassionate, giving, and serving heart.”

3) Act with love

Show them compassion. Be gentle when others do mistakes. Practice to forgive people. As a parent, Each time you have to react to your kid’s needs and desires with love, your kids learns that someone is always be there to take care of them even when they are having a tough time. They learn to trust people and that they are not alone. Through these warm relations your kids develops a sense of herself as a person who deserves to be treasured and cared for and has a role model like you for how to care about other people. Isn’t that what we all want? A kid who feels confident about who she is and shows kindness towards others. The bottom is in their loving relationship with you.”

4) Encourage helping

Positive responses to kids’s help look to promote more helping behaviors when our little ones are first learning these skills. However as our children become more expert at helping, reinforcement may not be needed as much and should undermine basic needs to help. There are some ways that children can help around the house, such as:

–Sweeping floors

–Putting clothes in the washing machine

–Putting plates and glasses on the table

–Putting toys away

–Participating in obtaining dressed

–Fetching needed stuffs

5) Practice a positive attitude

Praise each another for being kind or doing something thoughtful or reaching something. Make the people around you feel important. Be friendly to strangers—smile, say hello. “Be more present and don’t delay the joy. Immerse in the beauty and happiness of every moment you can. Stop rushing and celebrate in your kids’s laughter, the sweet smell of his hair, her joy in mastering something new. “Smelling the roses” is what makes parenting worth all the headaches. It replaces your spirit. It inspires your kids to connect and cooperate.”
