To educate is to transmit, direct, show, and teach our children what we consider important to life.
In this education we find our values, our ideas and life expectancies, our habits and our ways of living and seeing life.
- Parents always intend to do their best.
- But in addition to the intention.
- We must also know how to convey.
- Because we can fail and fail in the education we want to give them.
There are many ways to educate, as many as people, and one of them is through authority, imposition, punishment, and obedience.
In this way of educating, “Do we train children?” Fear and authority. In most cases, minors obey, without learning and without thinking, just to avoid the negative consequences of not doing so.
However, there is, in general, another approach to education, based on respect and follow-up of the child’s evolutionary process.
Without a doubt, this approach teaches and transmits, and the child learns why the things and demands of his parents.
In many cases, learning is done through experience, reaching an agreement, negotiating with parents, and empowering children to be responsible for their small decisions and consequences.
Respecting and supporting the growth and maturation of our little ones does not mean that they will manage their own education.
It is important to remember that parents are always the engine and guide in their children’s education and, therefore, they are the ones who mark the learning path they want to show their children.
To do this, it is important to clearly express the rules and limits that define the margins of what we want to teach, because it is obvious that not everything is valid for the way we live life and, therefore, we must make it clear to our little ones.
It is important to be clear about what we want to teach and, for this, it is essential to know our values of life, which we will transmit safely and consistently.
To do this, we must educate on the basis of the transmission of values, through the norms and habits of our daily lives, expressing very clearly what we do not want to happen.
The teaching of values is a very natural and spontaneous thing, which is transmitted from generation to generation through observation, imitation and, above all, non-verbal language.
This means that in addition to explaining what we want and expect from our children, and also what we don’t want, we must show with our attitudes, emotions and feelings, behaviors of approval or disapproval and the direct consequences of that.
Children grow up in emotional health as they learn to live their lives from their own experience and under the supervision and protection of their parents, understanding, resolving conflicts, and facing difficulties, as their parents taught them.
When the child becomes a teenager and then an adult, he will decide what to do with everything he has learned, but there is no doubt that a good education will be the best background for his journey in life.
The most self-confident children are those who have grown up thanks to their parents’ communication and trust; through which they could understand why their parents showed them these values of life and accompanied them in their maturity and autonomy, teaching them to manage their emotions of frustration, anger, irritation, envy and jealousy?
Strengthen your advances, achievements, successes, skills, skills and potentials, always show them the love, affection, affection we feel for them.
