The teachings of the Buddha is relevant not only for parents and adults, but also for the children, in that they can learn the virtues. The virtue of respect and the value of human life; respect for oneself, for others, and for the environment are essential for harmonious co-existence. The knowledge about Buddhism gives my child a lifelong learning experience that will guide her onto the right path of happiness and harmony. I believe that the teachings of Buddhism do not interfere with our religious beliefs. Instead, they guide us in cultivating the virtues necessary for harmonious human relationships.
My daughter has become more respectful and compassionate toward her sibling and other children. She could now be easily prodded to do things that needs to be done such as doing household chores. This kind of discipline is necessary for her to excel in school as well as in dealing with a lot of things in her chosen career in the future.
