The importance of parent's discipline of their children at home bef...

How important discipline is to our child?
How does discipline affect their lives about approaching other people?
Do you like to see how much your child grows, not just physically but also in socializing with other people?
How will you react to the behavior they show?

Teachers stand as second parents of the students. But how will you handle the diverse cultures and attitudes of each student in front of you if you're a teacher? Mind you, even an only child at home is hard to deal with in discipline to be a good individual, that's how hard being a parent is. As a parent, you need to be tough and affectionate in front of your child to let them know that they need to respect you. But nowadays, disciplining seems hard to teach at home and there is a lot of proof of the behavior of some children might it be at home or school. The sad reality today.

Why do parents send their children to school? We know the real reason for some parents is to reach the dream of their children or theirs. But do they know what's the main purpose of the school aside from giving good grades and a diploma afterward? Parents should know that aside from the degree that their children will acquire from studying at school, their children will grow as good and productive individuals in society. How will we know that a person is good and productive in society? In my understanding as a person, not just a teacher, a good and productive person is one who was disciplined and applied it in his life. In applying the disciplined and acquired learnings, you will be productive if you'll show it to other people and how you approach others in a good way. Because even if you're an educated person if you don't know how to be kind to others, all your learnings from school were nothing. Degrees and other achievements will be forgotten but kindness will be remembered even if you are not an educated person who earned a degree.

So why is discipline at home important?

My wife was scrolling through her phone when she suddenly showed me a post about a teacher. A teacher posted his sentiments regarding what his students have done to him while he was discussing in front of his students. One of his students was doing a video of him and he was already viral his face looked funny (for others) because of the filter being used. That was without his knowledge and he felt hurt upon knowing what his students have done to him. He said he did nothing and never hurt students but they do that in exchange. He was asking parents to please help teachers discipline their children and teach respect at home.

My reaction to the behavior of the students? Of course, I felt bad for my fellow teacher. No one like to be treated such as your students especially if you handled them well. And that's what I am afraid my students will do to me that's why at the first meeting during our school year, I raise and gave rules and regulations in the class while asking the student's opinions also so that we will have a good relationship to start. I don't tolerate also students bringing cell phones to my class and that's a must. As a teacher, we should show kindness and at the same time superior for them to realize that they need to follow and respect us because they need us for their future. I am not saying to be strict with them but to let them know the limitation of us, teachers.

You see, nowadays, students in this generation were so far from what we were before. Not all but some of them don't know how to respect teachers anymore. They won't mind even if they were doing nasty things to others even to their mentors. Now, what I want to say is that, before sending your children to school, please mind teaching them how to respect people especially teachers who will stand as their second parents at school because teachers will not just only handle one student a day. Parenting is hard but as a parent, we should always teach our children at home not just with rhymes and the first words. Discipline must always start at home. While your child is small, letting them know how respect will bring them a good life. Teach them how respect will affect their lives especially when they start to go out of the household and how other people interact with them.

Teachers before were respected like mighty, and we were afraid of them. We even thought that teachers are terrors living things on earth aside for our fathers. But now? Some teachers were like a laughingstock for everyone. I just don't know why some students now are bullies not with their classmates but also with teachers. Okay, I admit that there are teachers also that are not kind to their students and as I've said not all educated people are kind and productive with regards to them handling their students. That's why discipline must be taught while we were little toddlers at home because that traits and character will be with us until we get old even if we'll have a degree or not. We will able to apply everything we learn at home that's why as parents we should always be mindful of what we were doing in front of our children because they'll go to imitate our behavior. I am not saying that those children/students who are disrespectful got it from their parents because there will always be lots of factors. And as parents, we should always mind those factors that will affect our children's behavior.
