A Loving Family
Family is where love and affection always exist, even though there may be times of conflict, the bond of family is the only thing that remains constant and enduring. For children, if parents argue, complain, and blame each other, especially if the conflict is related to the children, they will feel more fear and guilt. When parents know how to reconcile, love and support each other, children will be willing to listen and follow their example. Harmony in the family is an important factor in children’s positive and happy development.
Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh once said: “Learn how to create happiness. If we experience happiness in our family when we are young, we will know how to create happiness. If not, create it ourselves.”
Love and affection are precious nourishment for a child’s development. In a loving family, children naturally learn how to love and care for others.
A Family that Respects Their Children
After having children, they often become the center of the family’s attention, and more attention is given to the children than to each other. A happy family is where parents love each other and show that love openly, helping the child feel happiness and harmony in family life.
For example, Hoac Tu Yen and Do Giang always show their love in front of their son and demonstrate their love and support in teaching their child. They often hug their son before entering the house and hug him when they meet, creating a loving atmosphere. Hoac Tu Yen also helps her son develop a love for reading from a young age, helping him develop independence and critical thinking skills.
A Respectful Family
Each child is a gift from heaven. If you want a well-behaved child, you must trust the child’s soul. Respect everything about your child and let them do what they want. What they do today will be a better version of themselves in the future.
What parents should do is believe that children can solve their own lives. Parents should give opinions in their children’s lives instead of making decisions for them.
Let the children grow in their own choices and learn to bear the consequences, instead of planning their lives and forcing them to follow.
Respecting the child means respecting the child’s emotions, starting from the child’s perspective, respecting their privacy, and protecting their self-esteem, which are what parents should do.
Furthermore, parents should not only respect their children but also respect others in their behavior. When children grow up in such an environment, they can learn to respect themselves and others.
A Family that Promotes a Learning Spirit
Famous host Dong Khanh once said: “How children develop depends on how their parents set an example for them.” Parents are the best teachers for children. The best way to educate children is by expressing it through their own actions. To cultivate a love for learning in children, parents need to create a family environment that promotes a learning spirit. During free time, parents can put away their cell phones, computers, and TVs, and spend time reading books or learning new skills with their children.
There is a famous saying: “Education is the nurturing of good habits.” To develop positive study habits, parents need to encourage and guide their children from a young age. For children growing up in a family that promotes a learning spirit, studying becomes a natural part of their lives, no longer a burdensome obligation.
A Family with Positive Energy
An optimistic life partner will improve overall happiness in your life, and optimistic parents will have a positive impact on happiness in the family. Family has a great influence on children, and the family atmosphere will affect the development of their personality. Children growing up in a complaining family are prone to negativity and difficulties in coping.
Experts have found that optimistic children are more likely to live a happier life than pessimistic children.
Parents can create a positive and optimistic family environment and show encouragement and praise in front of their children. They can teach their children to view life from a positive perspective and help them develop in the light. The close relationship between parents and children will also become more open and communication will be stronger.
