The issue of violence is an issue that affects us all. It is important to work and educate children from an early age of the sense of acting without hurting anyone physically or verbally. Let us know on this day of non-violence how to raise awareness among children.
Non-violence
On the anniversary of Gandhi, father of the enactment of non-violence. The motto that flies over this day seeks to find peace, understanding and eradication of violent acts towards others. The no violence it is also opposed to all those acts of war. There are many types of violence, sexual, family, educational, psychological or sexist. When violence is used, force is used and the victim's feelings and emotions are not taken into account.
At birth the baby has impulses of love and hatred or aggressiveness. It is over time that with the help of loved ones you will be able to discern and choose how to act. Men, women, children and animals are exposed to physical or verbal harm from others. When the damage is gratuitous and intentional, it causes strong pain and trauma in the person that is difficult to overcome..
Genetically, not all people have the same predisposition to violence. In addition, the environment and the people around the child must act in favor of kindness. To help the child you have to teach him values and norms that he internalizes and executes own motu. The environment is essential for the child to cultivate in the healthiest and most social way. Knowing how to lead him with love, explanations and giving him useful tools, will save him from situations that arise.
The child's environment
The example of parents, family and teachers will be able to focus the child's life towards objectives and goals that stimulate him. If you do not work and act responsibly, children will end up choosing easier and more harmful routes. The child will probably face the school failure and difficulties relating to other people. From the earliest childhood the child must nurture values that promote non-violent acts.
The family is a key point for the child to show aggressive behavior or not. Parents who neglect, punish, or give no affection to their offspring, they are training beings who will not want to give it either and will be aggressive with the world. The environment where you live, the people you see daily and their way of acting, poor nutrition, brain damage ... will influence this aspect.
How to educate a child not to act violently
Parents must act in favor of the good and teach values that the child internalizes and executes "of his own accord"
Parents must possess, at first, skills to instill them in their children and thus manage to educate them with positive discipline. Clearly, a child who has seen and experienced violent actions in their home or environment will act in the same way and see it as normal. To make a child aware of not choosing violence:
- Parents should be your first teachers and the school the second: They will see in these people the mirror in which to look at themselves. Parents should strive to follow appropriate behavior, speak with and respect and tolerance towards others, not hatred. They must know how to educate in non-violence.
- Parents must be involved in the education of their children, worry about your emotional, intellectual and mental state. If the child needs help, it is appropriate to seek it in a professional way. Children quickly show abnormality in their actions when they are not quite well.
- The child needs to be formed, stimulated, protected and loved. Parents and educators must be patient but not cease in their teachings.
- The child needs to develop in a quiet and peaceful environment, with their routine and schedules.
- Speak clearly with the child and promote dialogue: Explain how people suffer if they are hurt, ask and advise.
- The child should feel free to talk about whatever he wants, if you are afraid, insecurities ...
- Parents have to show him tools, knowledge…, So that they know how to act in different situations, including risk, with examples in daily life. Faced with these conflict situations, they should also know how to ask for help if they do not know how to deal with them or are afraid to do so.
- The child should feel safe and in a comfortable and happy environment: Parents who don't understand, love, or treat each other will not set the proper example for their children.
- Use the game to develop skills events.
