Five Ways To Teach And Promote Tolerance Among Your Teenage Children

Tolerance among teenagers is a desirable thing and parents really need to teach their
teenage children the ways to be tolerant of other people,starting ewith their siblings.

Lack of tolerance is what has turned our world upside down,.and we cannot afford to
continue like this with the coming generation who can avoid intolerance , if only we
make efforts to teach them how to.

Here,therefore, are eight ways to teach and promote tolerance among your teenage
children:

* Make effort to identify intolerant behaviour that is being displayed by the child
and point his/her attention to it with an instruction that he should try to change.

* You should try to encourage your children to use resources that are provided
by the communioty for the general use of everybody.That way the child would
have reason to share the resources with others and learn to tolerate them ion
the process.

* You as a parent should be homst in all your dealings to serve as a good example
for the children to emulate.This is a fine way; the easiest way to teach and
promote tolerant without too much sermon.Action speaks louder than words!

* Anytime your child displays an intolerant behaviour you should not hesitate to
challenge him.If you do this at all times, he will try to always check himself and
see that he is not intolerant in his behaviour.

* Always talk about tolerance with your children.Draw experiences from what is
happening around you and those things that are taking place around the world
that are caused by lack of tolreance for one another.That is a practical way to
teach and promote tolerance.



There is no better way to end this than to remind you thast as parents we all must learn to
tolerate other people in our community.You should let them be themselves no matter how
negative you may feel about their personal behaviour.In as much as they don't physically
hurt you, let them be.

Your teenage children are critical about everything they encounter including your personal
behaviour.

These are the ways to teach your teenage children to tolerate others and live in harmony.

Happy Parenting...
