Qualities that parents lack and that children teach us.

---

Why, one wonders, as a result, do we see in adult children, something I did not expect? Because no matter how much time you spend on magical suggestions and bracelets, the child will only absorb how you behave.

And the baby's tender, fragile and flexible nature "cancels" the parents' behavior scenario is the result, in which qualities as pure as responsiveness, honesty, courage, kindness, courtesy, Hard work for some reason is partially or completely atrophied in the child's education.

So, maybe adults should not only only teach, but also learn from children?

A child is like a sponge that absorbs any information: useful, harmful, necessary, unnecessary, interesting, without interest.

And the boy wants to know about EVERYTHING. Take a look, listen or touch the handles. This practice allows you to learn that nettles burn painfully, can burn in a hot teapot, flowers can smell and a grasshopper can jump high.

In the first 5 years, the child will learn more than in the rest of his life! Here is a little why-man and discover that there are forces. Around us, there are also many interesting things and opportunities for development. But we remain deaf to these challenges. Perhaps because our souls become harder over time?

Honesty

Well, of course, we have always been taught to tell the truth and only the truth. It is true that, as we grow up, we understand that there are situations in which you must not tell the truth. Or at least not all. We "use" these cases with enviable regularity. And the child does not see shades, medium tones and shadows: perceives everything in contrast: white-black, good-bad, true-false.

And subconsciously, and then - consciously seeks to restore the truth, so that justice triumphs. Therefore, there is much to learn and something to reflect. And maybe we should finally stop cheating constantly? Ah adults?

Love

As soon as the child begins to run with confidence on his legs and hold something tight in his hands, time begins to help: children for parents in the garage or in the workshop, girls for mothers in the kitchen or for cleaning. With age, the excitement of shaking a mop, humming with a vacuum cleaner or taking out the trash often turns into torture.

Do not argue, but remember the last time you enjoyed cleaning the house, preparing something tasty in the kitchen? We do everything, but for a long time we persuade ourselves and we get in tune, and oh, how strange it is to visit us. And if you don't growl for self-pity, turn on the music or sing, a family beats you and the whole family embarks on cleaning or prepares lunch so everyone is at work?

This quality follows directly from the previous one. Come to the aid of mom or dad when asked to bring something or hold it, and then together, rejoice over the result. What could be better? Or sit and play with the little ones while mom is busy in the kitchen. And after all, our children, if they are praised and not speculated about their interests, will be happy to agree to help. And without charge.

As adults, it is difficult for us to get used to the fact that in order to get help we should not get any loans. And to the children, if they ask to do something or buy something, we throw the argument: "Have you earned it ?!"

Courtesy

Parents do not get tired of teaching him that he should always be courteous to everyone: do not argue with adults, give way to old men and women and, in general, be a good child. The child looks for a similar pattern of behavior among model adults. And who will take it from him, if not from his father and mother? We don't always greet each other in the morning or say "enjoy your meal" or "thank you" at dinner.

It does not always work with courtesy, especially at peak times or in the market, or even in our kitchen. And you can continue this list for a long time, but why, because the essence is already clear. Children draw their future with us. And may our "sketches" be worthy of our wonderful daughters and sons.
