When the father works in the teaching of human rights to the child, he can do so with stories, stories and explaining his daily actions.
It is important that parents educate their children from a young age in values that forge characteristics of a noble human being who empathizes and helps others. Let's see how the concept of human rights can be worked at home with the child.
Human rights
The easiest and most practical for parents when trying to explain the concept of human rights to children is through tasks, stories and daily activities. Usually the stories that are created and exposed transcend with the child in real life and end with a message in the form of a recommendation. Working with the least these principles at home is achieved in the best of ways, by example.
The child must know their own rights and those of others and have sufficient freedom to be and act. Educate a child in respect, tolerance, footing, generosity… Will allow you to understand the rights of others as well. The child will know that it is best to treat others as he likes to be treated. Some aspects to take into account when working on human rights at home with the child are:
- The father and mother are the same: At home, housework and childcare are done by both. It is explained to the child that man and woman are equal in the face of these responsibilities. The child in his day to day will be able to act in this way and work respect for his friends and classmates.
- The right to speak about feelings, open up, give an opinion, differ, discuss: The right of the child to be himself and without hurting anyone to do and say what he feels.
- La freedom and the right of one does not imply harming or restricting the right and freedom of the other: It will be easier for the child to understand and not suffer if it has been explained to him that, like him, other people may refuse to do something. This is not why she is a worse person, it is just that she does not want or feel uncomfortable.
Defend rights in an assertive way
Educating a child in respect, tolerance, equality, generosity ... will also allow him to understand the rights of others.
In order for the father to be able to talk to him about human rights, the child must be interested in knowing and being participatory. Age must be taken into account and not force you to assume and interpret topics that are far from your knowledge and interest. When the child acts according to what he understands and making use of his new teachings, he should be applauded for his good response.
The child must know that he has rights and must fight for them in a correct and tolerant way. You should not make use of the aggressiveness, but of assertiveness. That is, communicate by asserting your own opinion, suggesting, but without harming anyone. This form of relationship is based on self-esteem and the security of defending rights. With this, the child is himself, respects his beliefs. You can express what you feel, be it negative or positive, but honestly and without aggressiveness. It is spoken from the truth, without fear of what the other will think and thus one will be happier.
