All children are made of delicate, innocent, brittle, dreamlike and beautiful material; they are all bubbly minds that turn their games into unmet aspirations, which is why it is up to us to foster children’s dreams and make them come true.
When we look at children, we must be aware of this, that we are their coaches, responsible for their dreaming, their desire to live, their self-esteem and, finally, their construction.
- This is essential if we stop to think.
- When you think about building a house.
- You quickly realize that you have to start at the base.
- Because if you start with the roof.
- There will be nothing to support it.
- With education.
- Anyway.
- Something happens.
- If we want a solid foundation.
- We have to start building it as soon as possible.
- From the bottom up or.
- The same.
- Since the children are very young.
All children have special needs because each child is unique. From the pace of learning to how to express ideas, emotions and feelings. Everything in a child is personal and impassive.
Children should receive love and respect in large numbers. You have to listen to his ideas, his follies and his dreams. Close your eyes and let yourself be dazzled by his words and aspirations.
The first step, no doubt, is to dedicate TIME, this means staying calm in an attack of anger, helping to manage your emotions, proposing strategies to control emotions, playing with them, inserting creativity into your lives and finally fostering Dreams.
Educating is only learned by educating. This seems like a no-brainer and therefore we must be very careful not to believe in false beliefs. We don’t know everything and, of course, not everything we’re trying to do. We do this at the right time (for them and ourselves) or at the right intensity.
I know the theory, but in practice, is it different?It is a shield that we use, a barrier that limits us when it comes to opening our minds and realizing that we may not be making all the necessary effort when we want to change something. in our creative style.
However, without departing from the central theme of this article, it should be emphasized that the fundamental pillar of education is to give wings to our children so that they can realize their dreams. If we limit them with phrases and attitudes like, “Is it too hard for you?”If you continue on this path, will you become a criminal?”Don’t do what you want, do as I say, “etc. , let’s go there to raise motionless, helpless, conformist and ambitious children.
If we give them hope, children will have hope, if we trust them, and even let them stumble, they will learn new strategies, with our irrational fear we will only be able to generate anxiety and mistrust in ourselves, we will make children fragile. and fragile, we’ll do to them what they’re not, or rather what they don’t want to be.
It’s a very high price they won’t be able to afford, because it will become a growing value in their lives, so the only glass box that kids should have on the stage they’re in is the box they deposit their dreams in, their beliefs about themselves, their self-esteem. It is to this box that they can hold on to in case of a problem, that is, when they encounter the barriers of the environment.
Because these barriers are the only ones that we cannot remove from your path, the barriers will be there even if we hear their existence, so childhood is the most important moment in life, because at this stage there are no sighs when you think of something impossible.
It is at this stage that there is nothing to stop us, a phase in which your qualities are yours and those of no one else, in which you do not look in the mirror comparing yourself to the person next door, in which if you admire someone it is for the heroism of that person, so help the children discover daily their qualities , ask them what time of day they liked the most, their favorite sport, the activities they take with.
Make them feel important, teach them to cut, draw and model clay. That they get excited, that they learn that they have a lot to contribute, even if they are “small”. And that, in order for them to grow, they show them a thousand and one ways of doing things, of controlling anger, of sharing their joys and sorrows.
Don’t let children go to bed without first telling them wonderful things about themselves, without first pointing out their best qualities. Be sure to foster children’s dreams, value their achievements, communicate with them. Save time, gain quality, because we guarantee it: it is easier to raise a strong child than to recover a broken adult.
