Children need a certain measure of parental charitableness for the nurturing of their hearts and to inspire them to demonstrate their beautiful potential.

In conversations about parenting children, rarely do parents discuss the role of charity in parenting.

 

You might hear about a child’s accomplishments, about the trouble a child is getting into, about the need for discipline, but how often do you hear the word “charity” as it applies to parenting?

And yet, of all the parenting tips you might receive, there is none more important or valuable than why, how, and when to demonstrate CHARITABLE PARENTING.

Children need a certain measure of parental charitableness for the nurturing of their hearts and to inspire them to demonstrate their beautiful potential.

In the Wisie for kids wisdom video, ‘The Meaning of Charity’, children are taught how to be charitable, and why.  Here are two inspirational quotes from it:

  • “(Charity)… is seeing someone make a mistake and saying, ‘That’s okay’.

  • “Charity makes our world a kinder, happier place.”

Consider how this can translate into parenting tips:

  • Charitable parenting is seeing your child make a mistake and saying, “That’s okay.”

  • Charity makes OUR HOME a kinder, happier place.

A charitable approach to parenting also brings out the kind, generous attitude of charity in children through modeling.

Children do need us to establish boundaries and to express our displeasure… AT TIMES.

But they also need us to be tolerant, forgiving, and patient… to practice the spirit of charity in our parenting.

Children need to be treated with enough kindness to display enough kindness.  In what ways can you demonstrate more kindness or charity with your kids?

In what instances do honestly feel that you demonstrate too much harshness and not enough charity with your child?

In this blog, share any parenting tips, or questions, that you might have
regarding nurturing the child’s sacred heart.

All of us engaged in demanding work of parenting might benefit from viewing the Wisie video: “The Meaning of Charity”.

In any event, being more mindful of the role of kindness in parenting children can help to raise happier, kinder kids.
