12 DIRECTIVES FOR PARENTS

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.
