Children are the most amazing and wonderful people that I have ever seen, their peculiarity is beyond comprehension, most times I wish to become a child once again, because of the benefits i enjoyed then, but it's now clear to me to childhood comes only once in a lifetime. What makes them unique is their level of innocence. Their beliefs and their simplicity, their level of trust and honesty is so amazing. Whatever you tell them is what they believe unless otherwise, they love trying out things themselves, not minding the repercussions of it, and once that is done, they feel excited and accomplished. But when trying this, we should always be on a watch to guide them so as to avoid havoc.
I've discovered that some children tend to trust their teachers more than their parents, they believe so much in their teachers that whatever their teacher says to them tends to be true, no matter how you try to convince them, no way! because their teacher is always correct. Most of them see their teacher as their confidants, there are some secrets that most parents do not know about their children, but the child chooses to disclose it to the teacher depending on the level of communication and relationship that they have established. Children are great observers, they talk less but observe more. They pour out their pains to anyone that listens to them, understands them, believe in them, and encouraged them.
We parents ought to be careful of what we do before our kids, because they can either have negative or positive effects on them, they also go out there and try to experiment it with other children or their siblings, A child who grows up in the midst of abusive parents tends to be affected psychologically, because that is the regular lifestyle he or she sees at home most often, they tends to display it on other children or among themselves, there's a scenario where a child was bullied by his fellow classmates, the next day the offended child comes to school with a knife to harm the other child, he acted that way because most of the time that is what he see his parents doing, fighting every time. Another case where a question was thrown to the class, and a child will stand up and said "my daddy always beat my mommy" ahh🥺, that trauma alone has affected the child psychologically and they speak or act what they see, now trying to convince the child of what he or she saw becomes very difficult, and when that continues its bound to affect the child's academic performance.
This is not supposed to be so, we, parents are caretakers, and we have to care for them with patience, discipline and love.... our child tends to act or react based on what they see us parents do. We can say teacher has a part to play in their life. Yes they do! But there are boundaries to which teachers cannot cross, our child would be in school for some hours and then return home to us parents, the teacher's duty for that day is over, its now left for us parents to continue from where they've stopped, but when a child returns home and sees the house on fire😲guess what will happen to that child, the teacher only tries to instill some morals in the child, which is to be continued by the parents, but a child getting home to see opposite of it, that alone can destroy that child if not handled immediately.
But on the other hand children should not be pampered too much, scorn them, discipline them, listen to them, advise them, pet them, love them and provide for them, these are all that a child needs. We shouldn't pet a child when he or she did something wrong, discipline them, show them their mistakes and draw them back to ourselves, that is the love and with that a child will be balanced in all aspects.
There should be a balance between the home and the school in the life of a child, only then can a child go far and achieve his or her dreams.
Thank you😘😍
