The best way always to teach a characteristic is to be the example daily. When your child is looking and listening to you what do they hear and see? You can ask yourself, If my child only had my behavior and speech to copy, am I setting the example I would like to see them grow up to be? Yes it is a big job. But that is what parenting is all about. It is like a big test everyday. Building tolerance is one of the things we can do to have an effect on creating peace in our family, community and ultimately the world.
