Children are living with curiosity. They learn lots of things in
life, gifted naturally with intuition, and open toward
everything they find.
Everything seems to be interesting to them. That's why they want
to know about many things. It's indeed a sign of good
development.
Parents need to help children develop their conscience, which
will be a great means of getting spiritual experiences. Through
these, they'll learn about self-esteem and moral values.
Of course parents want children have and familiar with good
values in life. As parents, what can you do then? Here are 5
ways you can do to enrich their conscience:
* Give good examples. What you say and do everyday reflect what
you think about the world. If you say good stuff, your children
will do the same. Children are great imitators. It's important
for you to say and do nice things anytime anywhere.
* Listen when they talk. Sometimes your children ask questions
that sound silly to adults, like "Mom, where does the sun sleep
when the night comes?" Listen to them and answer seriously, "The
sun doesn't sleep. It shines in other places in the world." By
listening, children will feel that they get respect from their
parents.
* Show happiness. Show and share all the happiness and positive
energy and thoughts with the children. If you're happy, they're
happy too. By doing this, the children will learn that life is
enjoyable.
* Introduce them to nature. Tell them that all things happen in
the world are connected to each other and that there's a reason
for it. For example, water is needed to irrigate plants and
plants are food source for other living creatures.
* Be flexible with your rules. Children should be informed about
what they should do. However, always take notice on their
development. There will be time when they can decide what they
want to do. By being flexible with your rules, children will
stay cheerful and expressive.
Those 5 tips are actually easy to carry out. Just place yourself
as your children's parents and friends as well.
Again, remember that children are good imitators. Once you do or
say something bad, there's a great chance that they will do or
say the same.
