Raise ethical and empathetic children

Whenever you find yourself in the wrong story, leave! You have the power to change your life story.-Girin Govind (Art of Living Teacher)

Can we teach our children to be a little more polite so that when they grow up , so that they don't hurt others.

This article below says it all.

Heard a starfish story , where a boy and his grand dad were walking near a beach . Some of the start fishes were lying in sand as the waves bought them and they would die in sometime. Small boy started picking star fishes one by one and threw it back into the beach . Grand dad asked what difference does it make . Small boy held one star fish and told it will make a difference to this one.

Similarly in our lives , we may think what difference does it make if I don't pollute the environment or if I hurt someone or if I don't pay bribe . It does make a huge difference . So lets create a positive wave chain rather than being instrument to hurt others. Lets teach our children also the same .
