It is a virtue and a valuable asset that has to be ingrained in the heart of every child because the child is \u201cfather of man&#8221;. Compassion manifests itself as both sympathy and empathy and is the sacred essence of love. Altruism, by itself, is nothing but a broader dimension of compassion.<\/p>\n<p>  <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>A child is but a bundle of joy which bubbles its love by loving and giving, sharing and caring. It is the moral responsibility of every parent to inculcate high principles and values into every child and compassion is the foremost of them. A touch, a glance, a word or even a look of askance, full of love &#8211; makes a world of difference!<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s look at some tips that could help us to raise our child in a compassionate way.<\/p>\n<p>1. <b>Say it sweetly<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cA child is but a mirror image of its parents.&#8221; So, speak softly      and politely to your child. Your child will follow suit. A loud voice      sounds like a command; a soft tone conveys a request. Even if you      have to negate or refuse, do it sweetly. Your child will, then, understand      the power of speech<b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Go gentle<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In today&#8217;s harsh world, gentleness is the only soothing balm to the hurts of our heart and the sighs of our souls. What\u2019s gentler than a child? A child is the very embodiment of gentleness. Let\u2019s not waive away this virtue from children. So, what you need to do is handle your      child gingerly. Listen      patiently to their babble and chatter, and then respond politely. Let even your      touch and glance ooze out gallons of gentleness. Be kind in      trying one and all, and your child will copy you. Children, by      nature, love animals. Your kindness towards pets pulls your child towards you.<\/p>\n<p><b>3. Route out rudeness; please be polite<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice&#8221;- goes the saying. Right from the      start, caution and counsel your child against being rude. Teach your      child to be nice in manners, courtesy and respect. Educate and enforce early acts of courtesy and helpfulness in children<\/p>\n<p><b>4. Mind your manners<\/b><\/p><div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Manners make a man. Emphasize the value of manners to your child. Teach your      child the \u201cPs&#8221; and &#8220;Qs&#8221;. The humble      beginnings of hospitality are in your hands. Let your child learn how to      make guests feel at home. Support your      child and teach it to be sociable rightly. Treat your      child with respect and your child will accord the same to you and others. Demonstrate by      your actions that every human being, big or small in stature, deserves the      same amount of respect. Embed the      seeds of social etiquette in your child like standing in a queue, waiting      for your turn, avoiding loud talk, offering the chair to elders, etc.<\/p>\n<p><b>5. <\/b><b>Give a helping hand<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Helping is in the heart of humanity. The very essence of social behavior is helping. Let your child      learn the heavenly feeling felt by helping. The way you      act or react in circumstances in helping those around you, makes your child      imbibe the goodness of helping. Educate early,      to be caring and helpful to the elderly and the infirm. Alleviate pain      of those around you. Your child will be definitely inspired to be      compassionate. Teach your child,      the importance of timely help. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;An extra      pair of hands to help is, like an army to assist&#8221;. Make your child feel      the goodness of helping by involving him or her in your family chores and      importantly, thanking them for it.<\/p>\n<p><b>6.<\/b> <b>The joy of giving<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Every child knows to share and care. All you need to do is to fan the fire of benevolence in them. &#8220;Charity      begins at home&#8221;. Set an example of charity to your child by helping      the needy around you. Advise on the      importance of giving away the extra or surplus items to the needy around      you.<\/p>\n<p><b>7.<\/b><b> Be an example to emulate<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Showcase yourself as the prime example for your child to emulate. Avoid bad      language, gossip and trash-talk. Explain the pain these hurtful actions      can cause a person and ask your children to avoid them. Illustrate the      consequences of hurting others. Your child will be forewarned not to be      impolite, hurtful or violent. Emphasize the      importance and dignity of self-respect. You child will automatically mould      itself into a kind one.<\/p>\n<ul> <\/ul>\n<p>Your child is a treasure God gave you to keep.
