Compassion is defined as a \u201csympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.\u201d\u00a0 Unfortunately, we are not born being naturally compassionate.\u00a0 Rather, compassion is a learned skill.\u00a0 And it is a skill that needs to be taught at home.\u00a0 Sadly, some families don\u2019t make teaching this skill a priority.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve taught Sunday School for many years, and the lack of compassion that I\u2019ve observed from some children is disturbing.\u00a0 When I\u2019ve asked students to consider the suffering of the poor or homeless, on occasion, I\u2019ve received blank stares.\u00a0 The needs of the less fortunate simply are not on their radar.<\/p>

As parents, our job isn\u2019t just to feed and clothe our children.\u00a0 It also is to send decent human beings out into the world.\u00a0 Our job is to produce people who will do their part to make the world a kinder, gentler place.\u00a0 We can\u2019t accomplish that if we don\u2019t teach our children to be compassionate people.<\/p>\n

Below are some ways to instill compassion in your children.\u00a0 Consider using these some of these compassion-building techniques with your own children.<\/p>\n

Use compassionate language.<\/h3>\n

As adults, we make a lot of off-handed comments about other people.\u00a0 Occasionally, I hear people refer to homeless people as \u201cbums.\u201d\u00a0 Some people refer to mothers who receive public assistance as \u201cwelfare mothers.\u201d\u00a0 We refer to animals without homes as \u201cstrays.\u201d\u00a0 And if there are unwanted animals or insects in our homes, we call them \u201cpests.\u201d<\/p>\n

All of that language sends the following message to our children: There are people and animals in this world that are less valuable than we are.\u00a0 And since they are less valuable, they don\u2019t deserve our compassion.\u00a0 That is the wrong message to send to your children.<\/p>\n

Now, most people make these comments without having an evil intent.\u00a0 It is just the language of society.\u00a0 But these kinds of words send a message.\u00a0 So, if you want to raise compassionate children, you need to consider the kinds of word that you use.<\/p>

\n
<\/div>\n\t
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

It is important to describe the less fortunate in a way that instills pity for them.\u00a0 For example, people and animals without homes are \u201chomeless.\u201d\u00a0 Someone on public assistance is \u201cpoor.\u201d\u00a0 The unwanted creatures who occasionally are in our homes are \u201cvisitors\u201d who need to be gently escorted out!\u00a0 Choose words that to promote the idea that those who are suffering or alone deserve our compassion and help.<\/p>\n

Perform acts of compassion yourself.<\/h3>\n

You are your child\u2019s first example of how to be a decent human being.\u00a0 So, your child should see you doing kind deeds for others.<\/p>\n

As a result, when you take unneeded clothes to the poor, have your child help with the process.\u00a0 Have him or her pick out the clothes that should be donated, and bring your child along to make the donation.\u00a0 If your child is with you at the grocery store, pick up cans to give to the local food shelter.\u00a0 Speak with your child about who may benefit from these donations.<\/p>\n

If you have elderly people in your family, make sure you and your child visit those people.\u00a0 Show your child how to gently treat people who are disabled or infirm.\u00a0 When you set an example of being kind to those who are in need or suffering, your child will want to do the same.\u00a0 Our children want to be like us!<\/p>

\n
<\/div>\n\t
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n\t
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Teach your child to care about people globally.<\/h3>\n

In today\u2019s society, we tend to operate like \u201cpack animals.\u201d\u00a0 Our compassion often is limited to those in our \u201cpack.\u201d\u00a0 So, if we share the same citizenship, gender, political party, sexual orientation and race, then we easily feel compassion for another person\u2019s suffering.\u00a0 If we don\u2019t share those things, then we struggle to feel compassion for that person.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this is a very limited approach to compassion.\u00a0 To teach our children to be truly compassionate, we have to teach them to care about people who aren\u2019t like them.\u00a0 We need to teach them to be as concerned about the hungry, homeless child in India as they are about the hungry, homeless child in their home town.<\/p>\n

To do so, we have to eliminate the negative language that we use to talk about others who aren\u2019t like us.\u00a0 So, when we talk about people who hold different political views, we should speak about them as fellow, patriotic citizens, who simply have different ideas about how our country should be run.<\/p>\n

Similarly, when we speak about refugees from poor countries, we shouldn\u2019t refer to them as \u201cillegals.\u201d\u00a0 That is a simplistic word that doesn\u2019t fully convey the complexity of the immigration situation.\u00a0 When we discuss immigrants in front of our children, we should explain that these are people from poor countries, many of whom are suffering.\u00a0 And we should talk about how they deserve our pity.<\/p>

\n
<\/div>\n\t
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Treat your children and spouse with compassion.<\/h3>\n

By far, the best way to teach compassion is to act in a compassionate manner in your home.\u00a0 If you frequently are critical of your spouse and children, you aren\u2019t operating in a compassionate manner.\u00a0 And guess what?\u00a0 Your children will emulate you.<\/p>\n

Early on, I figured out that the compassionate response was the best response as a parent.\u00a0 For instance, when my daughter was in middle school, on occasion, she inexplicably would come home in a bad mood.\u00a0 However, I quickly learned that she wasn\u2019t being difficult on purpose.\u00a0 Rather, if she was being sullen, it was because her feelings had been hurt that day.\u00a0 From this experience, I learned that as a parent, negative behavior doesn\u2019t always call for a negative response.\u00a0 Rather, I learned that negative behavior calls for a compassionate response.<\/p>\n

Similarly, it is important to treat your spouse in a compassionate manner.\u00a0 Often people get comfortable in their marriages.\u00a0 As a result, they say whatever pops into their heads, with little filter.\u00a0 So, if their spouse is irritating or upsetting them, they\u2019ll thoughtlessly insult their spouse.\u00a0 However, when you speak to your spouse in an unkind manner, you show your children a lack of compassion that, unfortunately, they someday will emulate.<\/p>\n

Realize that our children don\u2019t just do what we tell them to do.\u00a0 They follow our example.\u00a0 They ultimately will do what we do.\u00a0 So, take care to behave in the way that you want your children to behave.<\/p>\n

Raising compassionate children is the greatest gift that we can give the world.\u00a0 Setting up the next generation to be just a little bit kinder, more thoughtful and more compassionate is incredibly important.\u00a0 It is the only way to ensure that our world someday will become a truly beautiful place to live for everyone.<\/p>\n
