Caring for people and other living things appears to be a trait
that comes most "naturally" for children and because of this
should be nurtured from its start through encouragement and
by providing consistent examples. Children need to learn that caring
for others involves appreciating differences in others, recognizing those
who may be less fortunate than themselves, putting others’ needs before their,
helping others without expecting anything in return, and perhaps just "being there"
for someone who needs a friend. Even the very youngest child is willing and
capable of caring for others and in return will feel powerful, needed, and appreciated.
In this way, children can become part of the process of making themselves better people
and the world a kinder place to live in.
Finally we need to take the concept of being caring very seriously by
setting high standards for ourselves as parents and educators, as well
as holding up those same high standards for our children, expecting and
accepting only the best in terms of being caring. |
