We all want our children to grow up with basic values that facilitate their coexistence and make happiness possible. To be an honest, loyal, sincere, tolerant and faithful person you learn, but you learn constantly and with examples to look at.
The value of fidelity, so linked to the value of loyalty, is something that our children should not miss. For this, we are the first parents to be clear about what fidelity really means and what all those advantages derived from being a loyal and faithful person consisten consist of. Explain to the children what fidelity is
fidelity implies commitment and responsibility , therefore it may take us a while to make our children understand what it really means to be a faithful person. A faithful child is a child who does not cheat, who does not lie, who assumes the positive or negative consequences of telling the truth. A faithful child is also a child who knows how to value ties, with his parents, with his brothers, with his friends.Valuing the people around us, making them feel that they are important to us, respecting them with their defects and virtues, supporting them and committing to maintaining the bond, are some of the keys for children to understand what it means to be faithful
. But if you do not observe it in your own home, we can do little. Once again, we are faced with the almighty educational effect of the example. The child must understand that fidelity is a paramount value. Being faithful to your parents is not trying to deceive them. To be faithful to your friends is to support them at all times. But there is someone even more important to demonstrate fidelity:be true to oneself
. And what many adults have not yet understood is the key for a child to develop a happy childhood and become a confident adult. How to teach fidelity to childrenThe child must understand the value of fidelity day by day:
- We must show him that with a discussion love, commitment, and the bond between two people are not broken. That a fight is not a way to withdraw the love, but a way to improve coexistence. Que - That the adults remain faithful to the family, fulfilling their responsibilities and also their
promises
, is the most effective way for the child to learn what it means to be faithful.
- Like many other values, fidelity can be taught through children's stories. Stories that exemplify the negative result of being disloyal, of betrayal or lying, but also show the benefits of being faithful, more friends, more confidence, more happiness.
In general, the concepts related to fidelity are trust, understanding, loyalty, commitment, responsibility, friendship and respect. A whole conglomerate of values that each child will acquire throughout his childhood and that contains the best resourcesto be a child and a happy adult.
