How do you teach children to concentrate?
June 20, 2017 • Conversations on the Spiritual Path, Learn

Children learn through examples — they watch you do something and they do it. If you learn and practice doing one thing at a time, your children will see this. Once you’ve created a lifestyle where you are very focused on doing one thing at a time, even on the mundane things, that’s when you start to teach your children concentration.
