#17 "If children are raised with kindness and compassion, they will grow up to be kind."

Good morning!

Monday✨

Let's learn "Children Learn What They Live" together♫🤗

From the poem "Children Learn What They Live"

Kindness can mean many things

What does it mean to be kind...

I want my child to grow up to be kind

⭐️Respecting others by acknowledging differences

I want them to grow into people who can believe in universal humanity✨

People who can respect others will also be respected by others!

Even if races or beliefs differ, the dreams and wishes that humans hold as humans are all the same. I want them to grow into adults without prejudice or discriminatory consciousness.

The author strongly wishes for this.

⭐️ What it means to be compassionate toward others

To be compassionate toward others means to respect them and treat them with kindness✨

Sometimes we may act without compassion toward our family, but
in such times, let us apologize honestly and reflect.

If we do, the other person will likely forgive us.
Know that children continue to learn how to be compassionate toward others from seeing such behavior in their parents.

Superficial politeness is not the same as being compassionate toward others.
Pretending to respect someone
is not true compassion.

The book says it like this.

Respecting others, being kind, and being compassionate toward others
show in small gestures✨

Pretense also feels unnatural, doesn't it?☺️

Don't forget to show respect✨

⭐️ Cultivating a compassionate heart

Make children think about the feelings of others✨

Children cannot easily learn the importance of compassion on their own.


Young children can only think about themselves.
They think the world revolves around them.
This is a natural part of a toddler's development.
As they grow, they will gradually soften this egocentrism.

Play is essential for emotional growth😊

Teach children compassion during their childhood.
It will be very difficult to learn once they are adults...

There are opportunities to learn in every aspect of daily life✨
We want to guide them in learning how to be compassionate toward others☺️

⭐️How to speak to others

When teaching children compassion...

Parents should be mindful of their word choice, especially how they say things✨

When asking children to do something or having them perform a task,

Instead of scolding them without explanation,
talk to them about what to be careful of in advance, and
praise the kind gestures children show
every time they happen.

Since how we speak and use words
is part of daily life, I feel that parents have a significant influence☺️

Even for adults, in relationships with others,
what is received changes depending on how things are said✨

I want to be careful about how I say things😊

⭐️ Value things and respect the privacy of others

In family life,
how do family members treat their belongings?

It has a major impact on a child's heart.

Children will likely start doing the same things...

Protecting a child's privacy✨

Just like adults,
children have things they don't want others to use without permission!

I want to make sure I don't forget that.

Respecting others
is also about learning the boundaries between oneself and others

It is a lesson in compassion, isn't it?✨☺️

Protecting privacy!
It is an important lesson✨

⭐️ Children are watching their parents' relationship

The feeling of caring for others shows in small gestures and tone of voice✨

Do you use kind words in your daily life, and
do you live by helping one another?

By watching their father and mother,
children come to believe that is how people should interact with each other.

Children observe their parents' tone of voice, gestures, and expressions very closely, don't they?☺️

How you resolve frustrations and conflicts with each other on a daily basis—
that way of communicating is what is important✨

In our daily lives,

the smallest acts of kindness and consideration

lead to great happiness in life✨

[Summary]

To be a person who can believe in universal humanity✨

Just a little kindness and compassion

leads to great happiness💕

I want to create a world like that✨
