How To Educate Kids To Love

Frankilin P. Jones, an illustrious humorist and Philadelphia reporter once said," You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance". Stay with a child for a day and let’s see if your endurance will not be tested. But naturally, children are cute, innocent and full of dreams. Conversely, you cannot change the fact that the social order today illustrates a world full of brutality, meanness, viciousness and violence. Children’s unpolluted nature becomes corrupted. Sadly, things that corrupt their minds can begin at home. To help children away from being defiled, one possible thing to do is to teach them about love.

Love is basic but somehow can become complicated if people don't know love. It is important for parents to know that they are key players in instructing their children about love. Where do you assume children to learn about love? Do you want your children to learn about love in clubs or with other adults who do not comprehend love? If you wish to teach your children about love, here are excellent ways to do so:

Teach Kids That True Love Is Unconditional Love
Studies show that adolescents revolt against their parents because they are unclear about the concept of love and because they doubt their self. So if you are a parent, never ever let your child feel that they are not loved or they are detested. No one is perfect so do not hate your child if he commits a mistake even if it is the biggest mistake ever.

Also, teach your kid what unconditional love is and that there is a supreme being and that is God. God is a great father. If parents can reject them or make them feel unloved, the Heavenly Father will never fail in loving them. God accepts them even if they make mistakes. If a kid knows that they are loved unconditionally, they will develop credence, security and positive attitude towards self and others.

Explain The Various Kinds Of Love And The Kind Of Love That The Bible Teaches
There are several kinds of love like storge, philia, eros and agape. It is important to teach the different kinds of love to kids so that they will understand why people show their love in many ways. There are so many self help books and manuals that demonstrate their differences. The bible on the other hand, teaches the true meaning of love. The kind of love that is self-less. The life of Jesus is an admirable example to teach children about love, the unconditional love that God has for people and how He gave Jesus as an ultimate sacrifice for mankind.

Be Good Role Models To Children
Parents are role models to kids. Love must begin at home. Ideally, kids should live in an environment where people are not ashamed to show that they care. As the saying goes, "Live what you preach". It is impossible to teach kids how love, if we failed to live in love.


When children feel that they are important and that their family loves and cares for them, they will feel confident and secure. What more, if they know that somebody loves them for who they are and not because they are good.

Examine the bible and find the book of Proverbs "Train up a child the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it". The early stage of development is very crucial. You should be very careful on what principles you teach the kids. If you teach them about love, it should be in easy and clear language. Be kind and do not expect them to learn in just one sitting. Encourage them to ask questions or if possible teach them through examples. Finally, teaching about love is different to an average school subject. It is a lifetime learning experience. Be very patient and let your kids feel that you love them.
