Basis of the Buddha is not doing harm to other people, and try to help people as much as possible. These are the values that my parents would, whether Buddhist or not, also want to teach your transmission yourself, to help them to live in harmony with people.

Children often learn through mirrors of adults, so the most effective way to teach children the dổ about the moral values of Buddhism is the parents must live in accordance with it. Of course not here to practice the things we say. But if parents are trying to accomplish, then also good influence to children.

Take your to the pagoda will learn more wholesome goodness ...

If idolatry of the Buddha, this is also helpful to my children. We can give them the clean, cosy and altar supplies. You me and her three year old child were reported to Buddha each morning. Then the child presented the Buddhist religious ceremony left wheel.

The children enjoyed the music, and the sound from the Scripture, as well as the Buddhist songs can be used to substitute for the worldly music. I know some families used the chant to ru my sleep or to dổ when they are sexually harassed. Another family reading Scriptures before meals, and to their children to do the task initiator urbanity behind. These are just some simple ways to help parents and children sharing, nurturing spiritual life together.

The Buddhist family also gathered every week or every month to practice together. Instead of just taking her to the temple for them with the other children, their parents and their children in next to each other, practice together, that would be a rare period of precious, when the whole family can share the moment of sanctity of life which was always busy. This activity is also sticking to the family of Buddhists together, help each other when the tribulation.

In addition to reading Buddhist books for children or watching the videos of Buddhism as well as the activities that parents can share with their children. Lecture for children about concepts like reincarnation, karma, compassion for animals, etc. as well as the useful employment.

If the children are not passionate about Buddhism, we have to do?

Should not force anyone to religious choice in the matter. If our children don't feel fervently with Buddhism, let them freely. However, looking into the mirror, the way of life of their parents, they can still learn to live kind to everyone.

Just like if they want to participate in religious activities such as going to church, also do not prohibit. But to teach them that each person could choose their own religion, and to respect, accept other people's religion.

So how can we help the children get acquainted with Meditation? When parents meditating each day at home, will surely make children curious, want to find out. One could multiply that teach you simple techniques of meditation by tracking the breath. Kids love to be sitting near his parents in silence in the shortest period of as long as five or ten minutes. After that, they can play to another for parents to continue.

Kids can also learn Meditation by imagining. Child's nature is love to imagine many things. Parents can teach their children imagined the Buddha by the flow of light. Imagine light from Buddha tõa to them, to the people around us. If your family, friends or pets are sick, convalescent, child can think of that person, and imagine the light of Buddha also shine to them, to show compassion.

The good contact with their children when they are young age is important, and somewhat depending on their contacts with them when they left the baby. But it again depending on the time we have for children, as well as the attitudes of love, of understanding for them. The parents are always busy, often regarded children as burden to them.

Their children will feel that, making contact between parents and children is not good. Want to create a good relationship with the children, parents need to reset their priorities. Maybe they have to accept a job for less pay but in return gain more time for his family, his children; or to deny an opportunity for oil it give more money, much more powers, but also brings much more stress, and less time at home.

For our children, love is more important than material wealth. If parents choose to make more money, despite the happy family is threatened, then maybe later they must use the same coins on the treatment or psychological counseling for both parents and children!

One of the basic tenets of Buddhism is the consent, know enough. How we teach the children the same things? I think one of the causes leading to the difficulty is that we give children too much choice to our desire happy. From a small age, they were asked: "You drink coconut water or orange juice? You want to see TV shows? The love this type of bike or other type? You want red or green colored toys? ".

So instead of being trained to consent to the one you have, the children almost always compelled to choose from, to, and then when grow up, they will wonder: "what will I find happiness? I also need to add anything else to be happy? "that makes a difficult child as well as for them before taking part. In contrast the parents also shouldn't be too dictatorial, not for the children are there comments or require anything else.

Better that the parents should not put heavy problem must satisfy the demands of desire. All will depend on the attitude of the parents to meet the desires of their own material. If parents always proved willing to what you have, then the children are also easy to follow that example.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.MHDT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUNS=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.10/6/2013.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
