Building a Better World: Protecting Children from Hate

Building a Better World: Protecting Children from Hate

Comments 139 Comments

In our society, love and sympathy are hardly valued, but we even hate when we sleep, and we do it every time (This enforce protecting children). The person we hate knows our feelings or not, but we kill ourselves hating them. We melt our minds in this hatred. We also expect the whole world to hate him and kick him out of our circle of friends. Hatred is a very common disease. This disease causes little or no harm to the individual in front of the hater and just to himself (the hater).

Domestic Violence on Children: How to Protect Them

Comments 2 Comments

Domestic violence against children is a form of abuse that occurs when a parent or caregiver uses physical or emotional abuse to control, intimidate, or harm a child. Domestic violence can have long-term physical, psychological, and emotional effects on children. Growing up in such an environment, the child becomes an abuser himself and treats others in the same way.

Parents are children’s first teachers. The child’s mind comes to them in the form of a blank paper and they start writing on it through their words and actions. These are the daily routines that we do unconsciously and pass on to our unconscious, unconsciously. Parents usually continue to explain to the children by being a teacher and hoping that the children will follow their advice, but this is not the case. Children look up to adults and imitate them.

As parents, it is important to remember that children copy what you do, not what you say. Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them  — James Baldwin Experts of communication skills say that when we talk to someone, the impact of our words is 7%, the impact of tone is 38% and the impact of our body postures and gestures is 55%.

At some distance from the road, in the wilderness where there were no houses far away, there was a small cottage on the side of the way. Half had collapsed and half of the roof was still hanging on two walls. I entered the cottage from the back (the part which had fallen). In the part where the roof still remained, there was a box and a bucket in which some clothes were kept for washing. In the courtyard, there was a small tree and a small hut (Chapar) to protect from the scorching sun, and two or three small beds were lying in it.

A creative student from Sialkot, Pakistan, takes the matriculation exam but is disqualified by the education board and labelled a failure. He becomes an auto mechanic after failing the examination, but his creative mind won’t let him rest. In his workshop, he begins building an aeroplane. An uneducated person does not understand the fundamentals of mathematics and physics. Works hard and hopes to one day fly a plane — And one day he did this. A person labelled incompetent performs the work of a scientist without assistance. It demonstrates that the child who was failed by our educational system was a bright child.

How to Upbring the Children? Parenting Styles

I’ve noticed that most parents have an “inherited parenting style” and they only raise their children in one way. Parents do not try to get any kind of training or help in this regard even though no more important responsibilities are coming into their lives. This method of inheritance gives no value to the child. This philosophy strongly believes that the stricter the parents are, the better the children will be, which is wrong and misleading.

Children want to experiment with everything new. Let any normal activity that is not harmful to the child, so that his curiosity is over, and they can move on to the next step. A famous teacher, I heard at TEDx said, that once he was teaching robotics to third graders when a girl came to him with a problem. There was a conversation between this teacher and the girl, which is a model for parents and teachers. Girl: Sir my robot…

If we want to see our children’s creators and create a name in science and literature, then we have to work on our education system, particularly the examination system. The old mother is walking on the road and due to her age group, the pace is very slow. When the distance shortened, I remembered that the mother had met me once for her children. One of her sons was the only student in the school that none of the teachers…
