Teaching the Golden Rule - What is the most effective method?

What is the golden rule?

"Treat others as you want done to you." Your kids never heard of the Golden Rule? They know what it is? I am pleased with the Golden Rule in its positive interpretation and its relation to the respect and responsibility to speak. (Note: some people use the Golden Rule as an excuse to justify racism and violence.) Interpretation of the golden rule that I have taught and practiced to promote tolerance and respect for others. E 'No matter what your parenting style. The golden rule fits in almost all the techniques and parenting styles. Many religions today teach the Golden Rule in a form very similar. This is an important principle to live and pass on to our children.

How do we teach the golden rule for our children? I remember a particular episode, when my children and I were in front of a shop and they were opposite the main entrance on foot. One of my daughters, she found a baby in the windowwas somehow different from everyone else. I do not know whether it was clothes or what was the problem. But the fact that she said the other child in a negative way, my attention immediately. I managed the way I always dealt with issues like this. I asked her to imagine herself as the child to empathize with the child. How would he like it when the other children gave her a bad time, while she was doing at the moment? We had a lot on how fast we wentin the shop. When we reached the door he saw the other child was very different and had been completely reversed. This does not happen if I just let it go and had a discussion about it right when it happened they started. I do not shout or jump on you about it. I asked her to get in the other child for a minute and see how it feels to be there.

This is the interpretation of the golden rule, which I think is important to teach ourKids. Children must learn tolerance and respect for others. And they can and want to know if the parents consistently in their attitude and teaching methods are constantly and children's show that tolerance and feels.

Some people use the golden rule to justify discrimination and violence against others because others do not believe like them. This interpretation of the Golden Rule is very destructive and should be avoided at all costs. Parents shouldFocus on teaching tolerance rather than intolerance towards others.

One key to teaching tolerance

There are various methods of teaching tolerance and the golden rule for your children. A good starting point would be lower, try out ideas.

One of the ways the teaching of tolerance, to get the respect and the golden rule is made from a sample, and talking with your children when you see things around you, in my experience I described above. If you seeIntolerance, not only silenced. Be an example. And spend some 'time to talk to your children about the situation in order to understand what true tolerance and respect.

Things happen, weekly if not daily, the good times can easily talk to your children. And talk, you can add one or two floors. Slide lecture somewhere. its old-fashioned stories with a moral at the end of very useful tools.

is a great way to ask the child to sharein others 'shoes for a while' and see what they think you try to be someone else. This works very well because the child recognizes inevitable that they want to be treated in Nice.

Be honest and fair in everything you do and let your children see in this example. You will learn and grow from watching him in action.
