Teaching your child love

 

                                  

 

Love moves the world and hate stagnates it. It is all to easy to look out of the window and complain about how much hate is dominating our lives today. But then, how much love do we spread in our lives? In the present stressful existence, we have forgotten how to love each other. Frustration, stress, anger, impatience, intolerance, reign supreme. And as a result we have children growing in an environment that is minus love and peace.

Love is the strongest emotion that brings happiness into ones lives. For us to nurture our children into becoming a good human beings we must inculcate in them the emotion called Love. And what is love? It maybe defined as affection, devotion, fondness, admiration, compassion, attachment, dedication, etc. When we learn to live by these emotions then we do away with all the negatives that cause our destruction.

We can bring into our children the emotion of love only when we create for ourselves a loving environment. As parents we firstly have to avoid bringing our bedroom fights into the drawing room. We have to have patience and tolerance and accept each other for each or our plusses and minuses. When we accept each other, then only can we teach our children the same.

Children growing up in a home where there is no love, grow into being insecure individuals. They are constantly disturbed by what happens between their parents. The constant fights and arguments instill in them fear and they do not trust the outside world. In fact these children seek attention from all over the place. They are always striving to be their best only out of insecurity. And this is a negative aspect, because at some point out of frustration they just want to stop short of everything and give up. A child not nurtured in love and affection grows into being a depressed emotional wreck who finds it difficult to adjust in society.

Remember, your childs well being, whether it is emotional, physical, psychological, mental or otherwise, depends on the environment you bring up your child in. If it is a loving one, then you are bringing up an adjusting human being. A terrorist after all is not born into a home of love and affection, but one shrouded by intense hate.
