Child Meditation
If there is something you crave to parents is that their children get when adults reach the longed for happiness and fulfillment that somehow we all seek. But how to begin to convey something so valuable?

The first thing to understand as a parent is that meditation is not something where you need to stay still or abstract in the world, meditation, among other things, a means of leading us to gain consciousness.

The steps are:
1. Whenever you try to scold your toddler for something that in your opinion was incorrect, you should try to guide you more questions than words of reprimand. Without doubt, learn best when "we realize" that when someone tells us that he was "wrong" something we did. We must take into account that children learn as well as us, experiencing, have no intention, or "bad or good" to make things . However, it will feel really bad or guilty if they do believe that this bad experience, they will eventually formed the idea that there is something wrong with them. This may not be noticed at the time, but surely among scolds the child more and make him feel "was wrong," this will feel more insecure, sooner or later rebel.
2. Guide with questions undoubtedly the best way that the young have to learn and appreciate what they do, is through guided reflection. It should be the desire of wanting to "teach" what is "good or right" and start guide with questions like: What do you think your friend felt when you did that? How did you feel when you did? How could you have solved? The answers you give can then be seasoned with our opinion: "Do not think it hurt" How you have felt if you had passed the same ?
3. not program in words: It is important not to force and carry out the conduct of a very friendly, come before the small friendly and, above all, do not fall on words that define them as something particular, like "you are bad "" You're wrong "" you are very messy, "and so on. Remember that when we talk and we're reprogramming your mind, and all we do with our attitude is to encourage and reinforce these behaviors in them.
These short steps, but not enough, are pre happiness of the next adult, because learning to observe and to consider not only what we feel, but the feelings of others, it is required to better assess the circumstances and enrich our consciousness, which will help small to have a more mature emotional management and conscious, which is equivalent to a full and happy life.
