Part Two: Raising Children
Getting up early in the morning is an important habit
to be aware of and will serve our child well both
in school and at work. Going to sleep earlier in the
evening is important because if they go to sleep late,
they will not want to get up early. When we wake
them up, they will bargain for more sleep, starting
their day with an argument. And who wants that?
3. Cleanliness. For our own health, as well as social
acceptability, we have to teach our children how to
maintain cleanliness: bathing, hair care, dental care,
and washing of hands. It should all be done with the
utmost care and consideration for the sake of the
children (i. e. "I want to look nice") as well as others
(i. e. "They look and smell clean").
4. Organization. Children who lack organizational skills
tend to have conflicts when they work with others.
They will not be able to follow outlined procedures or
prepare and complete their work efficiently, resulting
in increased difficulty in achieving success.
Initially, it may seem that it is enough for children to be
wholesome and smart, but the truth is that it is not. We must
first teach them how to take care of themselves. Second, we
must teach them how and why to care for others. To achieve
the goal of being a compassionate person, children need to
build endurance (khanti). We can teach our children to have
endurance on four levels:
1. Physical Hardship: Children need to learn how to
work hard without being afraid of physical or mental
hardship.
