How do you teach your child in the future?
People always teach their children by :
- Threatening / Empty Threat
Classic examples : Police is coming (lol), If you don’t do your homework, you will be road sweeper (In general, the formula is : If you don’t do this, you will be very pathetic) - Comparison
Examples : The next door children are always doing their homework, why don’t you do? All the children behave themselves, only you are naughty. (The list goes on and on; eating, sleeping, drinking, walking, you name it) - Blaming
Examples : I asked you not to touch this, see! You’ve got yourself hurt. (In general, the formula is : I tell you already, see the consequences )
In my opinion, teaching a child requires patient, wisdom, patient, patient, patient and patient. You’ve got to be really patient to teach a child. You have to be determined to teach your child in correct way that you defined without getting angry (at least don’t be too angry. Once you’re angry, you tend to use the three ways I define above (Which is wrong!!) .
