Ancient wisdom says: baby shower - a clean sheet. What you write on it, then you will see in the character and fate of the child. Why, I ask, in the end we will see in grown-up children is not what was expected? Because, no matter how educate the offspring of suggestion and magic pendalya and absorb only child, as you behave. And gentle, fragile, malleable nature kid "writes off" the parent scenario of conduct, which are children-friendly qualities as responsiveness, integrity, courage, kindness, politeness, hard somehow partially or completely atrophy.
So, can we, adults should not only teach, but also to learn from children? Perhaps then the world will be a little bit better.
CURIOSITY
A child is like a sponge soaks up any information - useful, harmful, necessary, unnecessary, interesting and uninteresting. Surpassing the threshold of the adult world, we are no longer interested in how Hedgehogs curl into a ball, as the people on the other side of the globe do not fall with him into space and do not hurt Does cockroach legs. Once we have received or found satisfactory answers to these questions and more.
A child wants to learn everything. Take a look, to listen, to try on a tooth or touch handles. This practice allows you to grasp that nettle stings hurt of hot tea can burn, the flowers can smell, and the grasshopper jump high.
For the first 5 years, the child learns more than in the rest of your life! Here's a little howcast and learns that there are forces. Around us, the adults, too, a lot of interesting things, and on the development possibilities. But we remain deaf to these challenges. Maybe because our souls will eventually become rougher as the heels of a long walk? And it should be periodically cleaned of "pumice" in the form of dialogues with themselves, because in the modern world curiosity demanded.
HONESTY
Well, of course, we have always been taught to tell the truth and only the truth. However, growing up, we understand that there are situations where it is not necessary to tell the truth. Or at least not all of it. We "use" these cases punctually. A child does not see any nuances, tones and shades - he takes all contrasts: white and black, good-bad, right-true.
And subconsciously, and then - consciously seeks to restore the truth that justice is done. So there is much to learn and much to ponder. And maybe it is necessary to finally stop continually fib? And adults?
industry
Once the child begins to confidently run on his legs and held something to keep in their pens, it's time to start striving to help: boys - fathers in the garage or in the workshop, the girls - mothers in the kitchen or for cleaning. With age, the enthusiasm to swing a mop, vacuum cleaner or buzzing take out the trash is often converted into a torture.
Do not argue, adults, and better recall when the last time you gladly ventured into the house cleaning, preparing the kitchen something tasty? We all do, but for a long time and persuade yourself tune, and enjoy working visits us oh how rare. And if you do not groan of self-pity, play music or sing by himself and the family hit with the whole family to take over the cleaning or pile lunch so everyone was in business? And fast and hard pumped.
RESPONSIVENESS
This quality is directly derived from the previous one. To help mom or dad when asked to bring something, or hold and then together - enjoy the results obtained. What could be better? Play or sit with the younger, while mom is busy in the kitchen. And because our children if their praise and their interests not to speculate, gladly agreed to help. And free.
We, as adults, it is difficult to come to terms with the fact that for the help we need to get a personal loan. And children, if they have something to be asked to make or buy, throw in the face of the argument: "You deserve?! '
POLITENESS
Parents do not get tired to teach that one should always and all be polite not to argue with adults gives way old men and women and generally being a good boy - such that even though the wound is applied. The child is looking for a similar model of exemplary behavior among adults. And with whom he would take it, if not with their mom and dad? We are not always in the morning to greet each other and talk over lunch "bon appetite", "thank you."
We have a courtesy not always formed, especially during rush hour or on the market, and even in the kitchen, we can scratch a verbal nod "to cook up", that will not find. And we can go on and on, but why - because the essence and so clear. Children make rubbings your future with us. And let our "sketches" are worthy of our wonderful daughters and sons.
