Child Rearing Thoughts To Ponder On by SlimBrawnie(f): 7:38am On Jun 18, 2015
SOME GOLDEN THOUGHTS TO PONDER :-
1. If your child lies to you often, it is because
you over-react too harshly to their inappropriate
behaviour.
2. If your child is not taught to confide in you
about their mistakes, you've lost them.
3. If your child has poor self-esteem, it is
because you advice them more than you
encourage them.
4. If your child does not stand up for themselves,
it is because from a young age you have
disciplined them regularly in public.
5. If your child takes things that do not belong to
them, it is because when you buy them things,
you don't let them chose what they want.
6. If your child is cowardly, it is because you
help them too quickly.
7. If your child does not respect other people's
feelings, it is because instead of speaking to
your child, you order and command them.
8. If your child is too quick to anger, it is
because you give too much attention to
misbehaviour and you give little attention to good
behaviour.
9. If your child is excessively jealous, it is
because you only congratulate them when they
successfully complete something and not when
they improve at something even if they don't
successfully complete it.
10. If your child intentionally disturbs you, it is
because you are not physically affectionate
enough.
11. If your child is openly defied, it is because
you openly threaten to do something but don't
follow through.
12. If your child is secretive, it is because they
don't trust that you won't blow things out of
proportion.
13. If your child talks back to you, it is because
they watch you do it to others and think it's
normal behaviour.
14. If your child doesn't listen to you but listens
to others, it is because you are too quick to
make decisions.
15. If your child rebels it is because they know
you care more about what others think than what
is right
...but human behaviour is more complex than
this simple but insightful conclusions may
suggest. Child rearing has no scientific formula.
Every parent should sow the right seeds and
hope and pray to God that no weed get to grow
there too, though they can very easily find their
way to the farm. But pray also the weed if they
manage to grow, do minimal or reversible harm
to the Sower's crop.
