“ Always teach your children to be happy than to put a burden of future making tension, no one have ever seen future it belongs to our present”.
A man is always responsible of his actions and deeds what’s going on in life. A mistake is mistake when we accept it is mistake. The most part of our life we spend unplanned and unintentional. In this universe there is two kinds of human life 1st is temporary and 2nd is eternal. In eternal life everything is constant but in temporary life most things are in our life like future, living style, virtues, behavior and happiness etc. Though we are actor to perform our role in the world. We role play through a purpose and one of our life purpose is to be happy. It is a sound state of our emotions. In human there is no rest while an unending struggle with expectations and hopes.
In the universe everything is changeable and getting change with every tick tick of clock hanging on the wall. For example if a person is sad but don’t know reason, if he analyze then must come to know what behind is. All of us work with a purpose to gain relaxation and gratitude. There is no describing word of happiness. A happier person is more successful than to become. If we lay our foundation on a very age to be happy then it will work long. In Old Testament book of Proverb by Prophet Solomon narrate “Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it”. Here we learn a simple and basic rule of children’s nourishment. Although in life has suffering and agonies and must have to face. Life is once whatever we spend in thinking , doing something for us or others.
I can give advice about helping kids understand happiness is to be happy yourself. Our modeling, behavior, language, reactions, goals, habits all influence how our children will perceive and understand happiness. We often communicate to our kids that happiness can be reached via shortcuts such as TV, fast food and buying things. Materialistic approach has nothing besides a burden in mind. But there are some shortcuts that really do have an impact on our children’s happiness. If you want your children to be happy, then I believe you first must be happy. If you are unhappy and you are teaching your children about happiness, then this can create an unhealthy and most likely inaccurate portrayal of truth. We teach them self-care and manners, we teach them how to read, what to do in an emergency, how to cross the street safely. We might teach them how to play a musical instrument or a sports activities. But can we teach them how to be happy? It is parents responsibility to make their kids happy. We need to help our children to gain a realistic view of the world, to look for the good in who and what are around us. We must give them the skills to set themselves up for happiness. Our destiny is in mind and decisions, today is tomorrow. William Golding writes that “ Man is a production of Society “. Childrens society start from home and in this little world violence take place when elders quarrel before them or when we take toys (gun sward etc.) for them.
Key Tips for teaching about happiness:
Teach them everyday running and exercise.
Teach them kind and helping others.
Teach them to think and do something new
Often take them on picnic
Teach them how to be charitable
Teach them the importance of loving with human and living creature
Appreciate them even on a tiny act
Helping them in polishing their gifts (natural abilities)
Encourage them via visual aid.
Materialistic approach is harmful for us, whenever we run after it we lost our health, peace of mind and social life. Our relation worse with family and others as a result we become egoistic. Being on earth we have to competition but sometime this race harm others. Because of retributive justice everyone is blessed with distinct gifts so, there is no need to compare oneself to another. Materialism is against humanity it derive us away. There is a great rule “Do good have good”. If we don’t care others definitely we are sharing our part in spoiling society and metamorphosing to children’s for next. One of our life purpose to create brotherhood between humans. Caring about others is fundamental to our happiness. Helping other people is not only good for them and a great thing to do, it also makes us happier and healthier too. Relationships are the most important overall contributor to happiness. People with strong and broad social relationships are happier, healthier and live longer. Connect your children’s with all kind of people so that they could understand them. Close relationships with family and friends provide love,meaning and support.
