Helping others is an important attitude to feel good about yourself and build a world of well-being for all. So it is important that you teach your child to show solidarity.
Solidarity comes from the feeling of being united with others, that is, helping those who need it; like stray animals, orphaned children, animals of the world, a sick or injured … It is an action that arises from the ability to put yourself in their place. And childhood is a good time to learn to think about what others feel, both people and animals and plants.
We invite you to consider that one day your child will become an adult and if you want him to be a person capable of bringing well-being to the world, he needs you to teach him human values, such as respect, generosity, tolerance or solidarity. And like all learning, this must also start at home.
SOLIDARITY FROM HOME
Be loving
The more affection you give him, the more affection he will be able to give. Grant. Jump out of your perspective, put your energy in others and witness your little one. Discuss the experience with him and listen to his points of view. Give him pure love. Avoid compensating it with toys or gifts, because what your child needs is your time and attention above all things. Leave the presents for preset dates and avoid giving him expensive items, especially if he has not even asked for them.
Teach him to recognize his surroundings
The other people, the environment, the vegetation, the stars … You need to realize that not only does he exist, but that he coexists with these elements, to which, therefore, he owes recognition and respect, in order to maintain the harmony of everything.
Train him in the art of listening
The goal is not that you are an expert gathering information about those around you, but that you are able to perceive the degree of well-being and the needs of others.
Talk about respect
Let him know that nature has projected people differently in terms of physique, talents, preferences, etc., but being essentially human, there are no better or worse, so we all deserve respect and live in harmony.
Check your values and attitudes
Do you treat others with respect? How much importance do you give to empathy, compassion and justice? Do you lose control easily and scream or use physical violence? If there are deficiencies in the handling of these basic concepts, teaching can never be effective, since you cannot teach what you do not know.
Be compassionate with your feelings
When your little one feels sad or angry, reflect on their feelings and emphasize the important points of the matter: I know you are angry because you did not get that toy, but it is dangerous and remember that the most important thing is your safety.
Neutralizes harmful influences
Excessive exposure of your child to the audiovisual media, directly or through other children who live it, carries the risk of sabotage, since wrong messages that appear in them can negatively affect their behavior. Reduce the time that your little one watches television to a maximum of 30 minutes a day.
