RE: ADSactly Short Stories - Lessons from the Other Side

in #adsactly7 years ago

I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. Growing up, I remember sharing my homework with my parents, particularly history work, that my parents disagreed with. They told me, learn what you must in order to do your duty as a student and to thrive academically, and then we will teach you the real truth. Teaching children that there is always more than one version of events, and not always one 'right' way to do things, is imperative to personal growth! Lest parents not forget, if you want your children to understand you and your ways, you must also understand them and the ways of the world they are growing up in. Reciprocity is key. Thank you for the story.

Yes, you are absolutely right about reciprocity. If parents refuse to understand their children and the world in which they are growing in, the child may shut out their parents, making it impossible for the parents to know what's going on in their life and steer them in the right direction.

I appreciate your comments. Thank you.
