| parents guide |
The parents' abilities for this
"job" are a significant component of a child's education. No one is
born knowing everything, but we can pick up knowledge from books or from the
advice of intelligent people.
Among other things, a parent
should strictly abide by the following rules:
1. Don't underestimate your kid;
he may understand more than you think, and if you let him think you don't like
him, that could stunt his growth.
2. Avoid using threat because
children enjoy a challenge and may act in ways they weren't supposed to in an
attempt to avoid punishment if they feel threatened.
3. Avoid bribing your child; if
you try to make him learn for money, for instance, he won't realize the value
of learning; instead, all he will learn is the value of money.
4. Never push a young child to
make a promise because they are unable to keep it, so avoid making them tell a
lie and then punishing them for it.
5. Don't keep them on a tight
leash; in order for kids to develop normally, they need some room and independence.
6. When speaking to your child,
avoid using huge words or excessive jargon; instead, keep your points clear and
to the point so that he can follow everything you are saying.
7. Don't demand instantaneous and
unquestioning obedience; this is not advised; children need to learn to think
for themselves rather than simply obey directions.
8. Be careful not to spoil him too
much because he can get compartmental problems.
9. Do not compromise when it comes
to game regulations; it takes respect for the game's original rules for it to
become educational.
10. Avoid imposing regulations
that are inappropriate for your child's age.
11. Avoid attempting to impose
quilt; it is not an emotion that children, especially young ones, should experience.
12. Don't issue commands to your
child that you don't mean to follow through on. Your child will try to please
you, and giving him an order is harsh and cruel if it's intended as a joke.
Each of these
"commandments" is first directed at the parent. But teachers and
other educators should also make use of them. Together with the parents, they
will decide on a mindset and growth plan for the child's education and
development in order to provide him with all he needs to properly develop
emotionally and physically.
