Children, our joy and our future. If you are interested in nature and spiritual development, you have probably already thought about the development of yours of a child. If you are not sure how to support your children in this direction, this article is for you.

All people have their spiritual dimension. You don't have to believe in the supernatural, and yet you can teach your child great things that will support spiritual development. And not just the spiritual one. Whatever you believe in, it is probably your intention for your child to value nature, to know that life is a valuable thing, and therefore it is important to weigh your decisions carefully. That we don't always get everything we want, but we should appreciate what we have all the more. So what recommendations can we give you? Here are 8 tips.

1) Trust

Children should feel inside themselves that they are part of the universe, that they are not alone. Einstein also argued that the most important decision of every human being is to decide whether the universe is friendly. People who feel safe in the world are more emotionally and physically healthy. And also much more communicative. Of course, it is good to teach children caution, but this prudence should not prevent them from trusting people in general.

It is generally not recommended to expose children to television news and information about attacks, weapons and dangers. Children then feel less safe in this world.

2) Power things up

When children feel that they can make changes in their lives, they grow inwardly. It is likely that in the future they will have no problem standing up for what is right for them. Life is full of opportunities. Children ask, they really ask a lot, and we don't always know exactly how to answer. Sometimes we don't even have time to answer. But we should find time to help children orient themselves. Feel free to admit that you do not know the answer to all their questions. It's human.

For example, if a child asks you why people shoot at other people and kill them. Explain to them that people do not always agree and unfortunately do not use words to solve them. They fight with their hands and weapons. But these solutions create additional pain. That's why we always try to solve things with words. It is always important to realize that we can improve things. Don't give up.

3) Love of nature

People who feel connected to nature are healthier and emotionally healthier. A waterfall, a spider in the morning dew, the moon, newborn kittens - it's all a miracle. And if you lead children to connect with nature, they too will perceive these miracles.

4) Gratitude

Regular feelings of gratitude for the smallest things make us happier. Gratitude seems to open the door to the life we ​​want to live. Into a life where deeper gratitude means a greater ability to receive. Of course, children learn in proportion to their age and by example.

Be an example to them and talk together about happiness, about gratitude for great food, for a reliable car, for family. Let's show them that not all children have the same happiness to live as they do, so we need to appreciate and be grateful for it.

5) Limitations of technology, return to silence

Many of us use radio or television as a backdrop. It's a way to avoid the silence that can scare us. But within us is silence that connects us to our nature. And this is doubly true for children. They need much more than the rest of us, silence. Quiet time for yourself. Give children music that develops them. But also give them the silence that will bring them back to themselves.

6) Time for what really matters

Teach children not to hurry so much, to stop and pay attention to the things and people they care about. Teach them to get up and see the unique sunrise. Stop and smell the flowers. Visit the grandparents they love so much. It is not the goal to analyze every situation. The goal is to learn to stop and spend time on what children really enjoy.

7) Helping others

Children often consider our world to be unjust. And not just children. Show them that everyone has the power to help the other. Donate food to poorer people, devote your time to abandoned people. Collect garbage on a trip in the woods. Each of us has the power to improve this world. The sooner we teach children this, the more natural it will be for them in adulthood. They have the chance to improve our future. Ours and our entire planet.

8) Pride

Children need to understand that not everything is easy in life. There are things that require discomfort. It forces us to learn, to fall and to get up again. Evolve. Explain to the children that this is all right. It is okay to sometimes feel states of exhaustion and displeasure with the situation. It is important not to give up and always to get up. We always have the right to choose. And then let's be proud of our decisions. It was she who helped transform us into the person we are now. And your children will be no different. Teach them to be proud of themselves when they overcome laziness, resentment or dislike.
