You must have already pointed a finger. Maybe at the peers or teachers. Observe where the four other fingers are pointing. Yes, to you.
A child learns what he sees more than what he is taught. Most parents are not role models.
They are like-
"Do
what I say and not
what I
do"
So you teach them not to smoke cigarettes while you smoke like a chimney. Those stamps you throw will be their starting point.
You
sent them to buy
cigarettes too. They may
Purchase theirs too and smoke them
If you want your children to do something then be the example. Do what you want them to do. Don't also do what you do not want them to do.
"Tell that visitor coming that am not in."
You tell your child and go to hide in the bedroom. You have taught your child as no other teacher has ever done. You have taught the following
.Cheating
.You can hide from the person you do not want to meet.
.If the visitor is a creditor, you have taught one can escaoe debts.
.D8scriminating people because there are others you meet.
This is bad enough. Such lessons are not forgotten easily. No teacher will be able to unlearn such.
How can one make children good readers when the parents are not. Reading should be a culture.
Brutality in homes make children brutal in life. Some men batter their wives or quarrel in the presence of children. The children will inherit this. Children in the womb get affected with what happens outside.
Children
born in loving homes
will eventually become loving
in their lives when they
finally grow
old.
