In my [previous post](KIDS;EMPTY SLATES) ,I talked about kids coming into the world as empty slates. I went on to further explain how shallow minded they tend to be
There are so many factors that can influence a child's mental, physical ,behavioral and social growth and the include;
FAMILY
PEER GROUP
ENVIROMENT
SCHOOL
MASS MEDIA ,etc.
I want to start with the family
THE FAMILY
It is the first port of call among they above listed factors. The family play a very important role in a child's life until he is of age.
Kids are smart and tend to pick up things, both good and bad real fast . For this reason, the family members have to be mindful of what they say and how they act before them.
Family members especially parents should teach kids how to use some certain words like;
THANK YOU, when the want to show gratitude,
I'M SORRY,when they do something wrong. One of these two words will someday, get them out of trouble.
They should get used to hearing more of NOs and less of YES when necessary.
Kids shouldn't be allowed to have their way with everything. The are to be stopped at some point.
The family is the best place to help a child differentiate good from bad and truth from lie.
Kids often times get angry and throw tantrums when they are corrected. They might even use words like "l hate you",but parents shouldn't mind those. Keep up with your work, someday later in life, they will thank you.
"Parents,please give your kids they best you can,the way you can so that when the think about love, care, dedication, the remember you".
