Ehre Vater und Mutter! Matthäus 19, 19 (NT)

 

Und jeder, der um meines Namens willen Häuser oder Brüder, Schwestern, Vater, Mutter, Kinder oder Äcker verlassen hat, wird dafür das Hundertfache erhalten und das ewige Leben gewinnen. Matthäus 19, 29 (NT)

 

Da ich ein Kind war, da redete ich wie ein Kind und war klug wie ein Kind und hatte kindische Anschläge; da ich aber ein Mann ward, tat ich ab, was kindisch war. Paulusbrief, 1. Korinther 13, 11 (NT)

 

Zitate (engl.) D. Hawkins

Honor your father and mother! Matthews 19, 19 (NT)

 

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. Matthews 19, 29 (NT)

 

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child;
but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
1. Corinthians 13, 11 (NT)

Bildnis seines Sohnes Nikolas; Maler: Peter Paul Rubens
  • Give a child spiritual standards. If you're loved by a child we become the 'ego ideal' and we get 'introjected' into the child's psyche. Teachers, then, be kind and forgiving. Tell them THIS is what we strive for. Tell them we won't always win. It's OK, because in life mistakes are part of it. Source unknown

 

  • Accept that the concept of ‘the fear of God’ is ignorance. God is peace and love and nothing else. […] Realize that the depiction of God as a 'judge' is a delusion of the ego that arises as a projection of guilt from the punishment in childhood. Realize that God is not a parent. I. Reality and Subjectivity, chapter 6, S. 108, item 4, 2003

 

  • Question: How do you recommend raising a child in today's world?
    Answer: That is a complex question. You have to define your role as a parent. Each person has a different answer. Unconditional love is a priority. Teach them how to be happy and successful in the world. Create an appreciation for beauty in all its expressions. Allow them to hear spiritual truth and energize their willingness to pursue it. Prescott Seminar Freedom: Morality and Ethics, 3 DVD set, 8. November 2008

  • Das Zurückgewinnen des verletzten Kindes in Ihnen erinnert an ein Zen-Erlebnis. Kinder sind von Natur aus Zen-Meister, ihre Welt entsteht in jedem Augenblick wieder völlig neu. Für das nicht verletzte Kind ist das Staunen natürlich. Das Leben ist ein Mysterium, das gelebt werden will. Die Heimkehr ist die Wiederherstellung des Natürlichen. Eine solche Wiederherstellung ist nicht grandios oder dramatisch, sondern zeigt einfach nur, wie das Leben sein sollte. John Bradshaw [BW 460] (*1933) US-amerikanischer Philosoph, Theologe, Psychologe, Autor, Das Kind in uns. Wie finde ich zu mir selbst, S. 87, Droemer Knaur Verlag, München, 14. August 2000

Zitate (engl.) von anderen Quellen

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them.
And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 18, 1-4 (NT)

  • I remember what my mother used to tell me. [...] the one time that she'd get really angry with me is if she ever thought that I was being mean to somebody or unfair to somebody. She said, imagine standing in their shoes, imagine looking through their eyes. That basic idea of empathy. Barack Obama (*1961) 44th US president, Saddleback Civil Forum Presidency, Saddleback Church, Lake Forest, CA, host Father Rick Warren (*1954) US American evangelical Christian minister, philanthropist, bestseller author, Saturday, 16. August 2008
  • Perhaps you think it is your childhood home that you would find again. The childhood of your body, and its place of shelter, are a memory now so distorted that you merely hold a picture of a past that never happened. Yet there is a child in you Who seeks His Father's house, and knows that He is alien here. This childhood is eternal, with an innocence that will endure forever. Where this Child shall go is holy ground. It is His Holiness that lights up Heaven, and that brings to earth the pure reflection of the light above, wherein are earth and Heaven joined as one. A Course in Miracles, workbook [LoC 600], lesson 182

  • To be the father of a nation is a great honor, but to be the father of a family is a greater joy. But it was a joy I had far too little of. Nelson Mandela [Influence LoC 505] (*1918) South African anti-apartheid activist, prisoner for 27 years during apartheid, first black president of South Africa (1994-1999), Long Walk to Freedom. The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela, Back Bay Books, 2. June 2008

Building a Culture of Empathy and Compassion Obama Empathy Speech Index

  • The second thing we need to do as fathers is pass along the value of empathy to our children. Not sympathy, but empathy – the ability to stand in somebody else's shoes; to look at the world through their eyes. Sometimes it's so easy to get caught up in “us,” that we forget about our obligations to one another. There's a culture in our society that says remembering these obligations is somehow soft – that we can't show weakness, and so therefore we can't show kindness. [...] We need to show our kids that you're not strong by putting other people down – you're strong by lifting them up. That's our responsibility as fathers. Barack Obama (*1961) 44th US president, Fathers Day, election campaign speech, 15. June 2008

'''Learning about the importance of fatherhood "through its absence"'ÄÄ

  • I came to understand that the hole a man leaves when he abandons his responsibility to his children is one that no government can fill. We need fathers to step up, to realize that their job does not end at conception; that what makes you a man is not the ability to have a child but the courage to raise one. Barack Obama (*1961) 44th US president, Father's Day Speech, 15. June 2009

 

  • Women as both wage earners and homemakers feel the contradictions more in our society. They feel more subtle, institutional discrimination. If a society inherits dysfunctional institutions then it is often the people with intelligence, skills, and an alternative perspective who are going to come up with better answers, rather than the people who have inherited positions that were already favored. In these cases, it is women who will play an increasingly important role. Besides this, approximately 80 percent of the people in the Western world are concerned that their children will inherit a worse world than the one in which they grew up. People tend to do for their children what they wouldn’t do for themselves. Women, especially, will push for change and for a better world because of their children. Interview with Paul H. Ray, Ph.D., US American sociologist, founding partner of Integral Partnerships, consultant of Cultural Creatives, cited in: How 50 Million People Are Changing U.S. Business, Society, and Politics, US magazine Paraview, Alexander M. Dake, 2002

 

  • It is never too late to have a happy childhood. Tom Robbins (*1936) US American novelist

 

  • We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. Native American proverb

 

  • Do not confine your children to your own learning, for they were born in another time. Chinese proverb

On children

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
Khalil Gibran (1883-1931) Lebanese American painter, philosopher, poet,
The Prophet (1980) Rupa (Educa Books) 14. April 2003

Simple rules of etiquette (for children at age 9) – David Lowry

25 Good MannersDescription
1. MannerWhen asking for something, say "Please."
2. MannerWhen receiving something, say "Thank you."
3. MannerDo not interrupt grown-ups who are speaking with each other unless there is an emergency.
They will notice you and respond when they are finished talking.
4. MannerIf you do need to get somebody's attention right away,
the phrase "excuse me" is the most polite way for you to enter the conversation.
5. MannerWhen you have any doubt about doing something, ask permission first.
It can save you from many hours of grief later.
6. MannerThe world is not interested in what you dislike.
Keep negative opinions to yourself, or between you and your friends, and out of earshot of adults.
7. MannerDo not comment on other people's physical characteristics unless, of course,
it's to compliment them, which is always welcome.
8. MannerWhen people ask you how you are, tell them and then ask them how they are.
9. MannerWhen you have spent time at your friend's house,
remember to thank his or her parents for having you over and for the good time you had.
10. MannerKnock on closed doors – and wait to see if there's a response – before entering.
11. MannerWhen you make a phone call, introduce yourself first and
then ask if you can speak with the person you are calling.
12. MannerBe appreciative and say "thank you" for any gift you receive.
In the age of e-mail, a handwritten thank-you note can have a powerful effect.
13. MannerNever use foul language in front of adults.
Grown-ups already know all those words, and they find them boring and unpleasant.
14. MannerDon't call people mean names.
15. MannerDo not make fun of anyone for any reason.
Teasing shows others you are weak, and ganging up on someone else is cruel.
16. MannerEven if a play or an assembly is boring, sit through it quietly and pretend that you are interested.
The performers and presenters are doing their best.
17. MannerIf you bump into somebody, immediately say "Excuse me."
18. MannerCover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, and don't pick your nose in public.
19. MannerAs you walk through a door, look to see if you can hold it open for someone else.
20. MannerIf you come across a parent, a teacher, or a neighbor working on something,
ask if you can help. If they say "yes," do so – you may learn something new.
21. MannerWhen an adult asks you for a favor, do it without grumbling and with a smile.
22. MannerWhen someone helps you, say "thank you."
That person will likely want to help you again. This is especially true with teachers!
23. MannerUse eating utensils properly. If you are unsure how to do so,
ask your parents to teach you or watch what adults do.
24. MannerKeep a napkin on your lap; use it to wipe your mouth when necessary.
25. MannerDon't reach for things at the table; ask to have them passed.
