Children are like small plant that you plant. You have to feed them nurture them love them so that they can grow. If you forget to water your plants they die, that is not what happens to children but they do become scared and wonder how to survive.

Children are just like this little poem says. Their parents bring them to school with a lot of confidence in the teacher that is why we must treat all children the same.
Some need more nurturing as they do not always understand immediately what you are trying to teach them, but others need extra work as they understand very quickly. Give them something nice to keep them busy so you have tim to help the slower one easier.
This is the way life works, we are not all the same but we are all human.
If we are not all fast, it does not make us a bad person it just makes us different. That is why teachers should be very patient.
I always say there are two jobs where the workers need their own children one is teaching the other is nursing. I have seen so often when teachers have their own children they have a total personality change towards the kids in the class.
It is because they now know how it feels to have a child. It is such a blessing, and they will now treat their children in the class the way they want their children to be treated.
I personally find that children are wonderful, especially if they were loved and nurtured as babies.
There is one bad thing that I have noticed lately. Maybe it is because we are not allowed to look after children the way we were when I was young.
I did not let a child tell me what he wants to do and never stood for any tantrums.
Now I do not know how to handle them as the law prohibits us from doing anything to a children like shout, or maybe a little bit of corporal punishment. The one thing I notice is all these parents who do just what their children want, I suppose it is to prevent tantrums and shouting from children, but being obedient parents will not teach a child to become a good person.
So somehow we must find a way of teaching children manners and being respectful without the law stepping in.
I hope someone will come up with a solution, because I really do not have one and there are so many obedient parents lately that I really feel sorry for them.
I see this in shops and places where parents cannot call time out as they are in a situation where this is impossible.
So if someone has a good idea of how to teach children now, without punishment please tell me about it as I see so many children just doing what they want without any respect for older people.
Hope you enjoyed my story and may you have a wonderful day.
