| Kids Need Guidance |
Youngsters
are naturally inquisitive. The trouble with that is most parents have destroyed
their kids’ curiosity spirit by not nourishing them nor encourage them to ask
more questions. Our job as parents and teachers is to learn to cooperate with
our kids’ natural desire for knowledge and to do it in such a way as to keep
the kids’ mind open to lifetime learning.
As a
teacher, I consider the kids I am trusted with as my own kids. I try my best to
accept the reality that teaching our children will consume a great portion of our
lives. Superlatively, this teaching will be on a consistent, daily basis. One of
the greatest barriers in the contemporary world to parental teaching is the
time barrier. Currently, in the United States majority of mothers are working
outside the home, longer hours on the job, long commute and countless of other life
pressure on the family that can make creative teaching challenging.
We
must be purposeful and intentional making time to teach our kids. In today’s
society, parents only have only eighteen years to take children from total dependence
to relative independence. In the western culture, eighteen is the age that
parents have to instill in their kids all the skills that we know from our
experience that will help them for a lifetime.
My
advice to parents is to strive to develop healthy self-esteem in your kids by
pointing out position qualities. Affirmation is drawing attention to the
positive.
