Hate Pictures, Images and Photos

Polluting the mind of a child with hate is a Crime. It’s as hideous a form of abuse as beating or sexually abusing him/her. It colors his world view, through a prism of darkness, and scars the child forever.
Our children are the future. What legacy do we leave our kids when we teach them to hate others; to hate those who are of a different religion, race or socio-economic status? We were all created equal, in the eyes of GOD. No ONE person is any better than another. We are citizens of the world, let’s start acting as brothers and sisters, not enemies. Let’s start acting like human beings not animals.

How do we do that? By teaching our young ones:-

1. To love one another, that more can be accomplished through love than hate
2. To treat everyone with dignity and respect, regardless of race, religion or status
3. That religion is a means to perfect one’s Soul, to make us better people, not a means to force man-made rules on us
4. That there are many religious and spiritual paths, and all must be respected. That their religion is not the only path to God
5. That the way to prove a point is not through violence and aggression/name calling, but through dialogue
6. That it is far nobler to share than to be selfish- there is plenty in this world for everyone.

But before we can teach our children to be loving, productive human beings, we need to tear out the roots of hatred from within our own hearts. We need to carefully watch what we say and do. We need to set aside our differences and become better role models. If we continue down the same path we have been traveling, we are condemning our children and the world, as we know it, to death.
Teach your kids to love ….and not to hate!

Children won't ever be like that till religion ceases to exist.......these children are brainwashed by their parent/families beliefs........

Each child is special...we should first stop comparing them... in your case maybe they are comparing the older one with the younger who is a good boy.. which makes him uncomfortable..

Dr. Victoria Henson is a clinical psychologist who offers Play Therapy for children. She can be reached on 5395692. A play therapist may or may not be what he needs its more for smaller children.. but perhaps Dr. Henson would be able to steer you to the right person.

Had this lesson been taught in the past to our generations and the past generations it would have made a lot of difference to our life now and the future. For now, I Think its a little late cause there are millions of suffering children with those scars who have transformed into criminals, terrorists, abductors, kidnappers etc. These people have spread throughout the world already causing destruction and havoc whenever or wherever they want to because the earlier generations hadn't passed on this important knowledge or the message was completely ignored. If there were 100 politicians worldwide who thought like you did a couple of decades before and put these words to action, the world would have been a much better place today.

But like the saying goes Better late than Never.

FS...A very good one.

Yes , 3546, As FS told as parents we shud be a role model for the kid.I have learnt this from my kid.She just imitates us.

I can expect exactly the same kinda behaviour as mine from her when she is angry..

Each and every word in the below sentence is true

"But before we can teach our children to be loving, productive human beings, we need to tear out the roots of hatred from within our own hearts. We need to carefully watch what we say and do. We need to set aside our differences and become better role models."

I have learnt it thru my practical exp.

How can you identify in age of 6, the child is telling lie, or he is doing some thing wrong, the parents always thought that the child is small when he became 18 or 20 years also.

Counselling is very good idea. Please give the detail of good counseler in doha.(so, I can advice my friend).

Note that the parents well educated and well behavior persons. As I know they are very good.Their one more son he is 9 years he did not shown any such things, he is very good in study's also sports and good habits also.

The parents are always seen their childrens in same.

If they have one or 10 children.

They should have taken care of it earlier...A child learns most of his habits by the age of 6..that first 6 years really counts...now that he is 12..ask you friend to take him for counseling. I am sure they can help him.

Parents should show more interest in his home work and daily lessons..and spent time with them..that. You can’t watch TV and expect you child to study...you should be the role model for them. If you tell lies in front of children...you cant expect the child to tell the truth...

3456. The parents talked to HIM to find the problem. My logical little old mind would suggest the parents talk to EACHOTHER to better ascertain if they could be the root of the problem.

How can we teach?.

This is a big broblem.

I will tell one incident.

One of my friends son is 12 years. He is always telling lies. the small things like hiding his class test papers, not attending class and not lessioning, not respecting etc. even last week his father was abset because he got very low marks in his class test but he shown him the other classmate paper as his paper because that boy got high marks.

Please note:- they are not beating their son, some time they shout that's all.

Last two months they talk with him, and want to find the broblem but it is failure.

Now, advice me how to handle this kind of child

Teach them love and not hate..
