Being understanding is nothing other than showing tolerance towards a certain situation. Children and adults who show understanding often understand the emotions, actions or behaviors of other people.

It is very important to educate children so that they are understanding and can put themselves in the place of another person, so that they can empathize with others. The value of understanding, therefore, is very important from childhood as it will help children to understand the differences of others and the circumstances of other children.

How to make children more understanding

There are some ideas that can help parents and educators to make children understand:

1- We have to make children understand that people are different and each one has their own defects and their virtues and with them we have to accept them. There are certain aspects that we can not change from other people such as race, religion or way of thinking and tolerating them and accepting them is an act of tolerance.

2- Parents have to teach our children to listen to others. It is important so that you can understand the reasons of others to do something in a certain way. It's a good way to prevent them from acting hastily on someone else's behavior.

3- The example is fundamental so that children can be understanding before others. If we always criticize others and do not put ourselves in their shoes, our children will repeat our behavior.

4- Educate children in empathy and to look through the eyes of others. We must inculcate this thought: what would you have done in that situation?

5- Our child must know that there are actions that are motivated by a premeditated action and others caused by carelessness. Both are different and it is convenient to assess it before taking a non-understanding stance before someone.

6- For the child to understand what it is to be understanding, we must make him understand that he can help find a solution to certain behaviors of other people. The child should know that at times he can give advice or help a friend if it can help.
