Child care 101
Boys and girls from the age of 2 onwards are very smart individuals with personalities and character. Some are faster learners than others, but they are all smart.
While some may like kids and some shy away from them, in the end you are making a difference on a child’s future with your daily or once in a lifetime interactions.
What the grown ups tend to forget easily is they to were once a small little baby or child helpless in the winds of human and earthly encounters. Children are a peaceful lot, they sometimes cry and become a nuisance and in many cases unbearable, that is their only way of communication, remember that. Imagine if you will for a second what you would feel like on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean with people who use signals to communicate, your language expertise is simply useless! now please place yourself in those tiny feet of that baby crying.
The way we treat these children will for sure impact their way they belong in the community when they grow up. Ever wondered why that little boy is so not accustomed to people and will go the furthest corner and pee on himself, even though he knows he’s going to get a beating fro the 50th time.
Answer these questions:
- Did you ever ask yourself why you liked your youngest aunt and never visited your other aunts?
- Did you ever ask yourself why you go to one parent for ideas and not the other?
- Did you ever wonder what goes on in a child’s mind when you scream at her in front of people, how would you like it if your mother yelled at you in front of your friends or worst yet in front of your employees?
- Did you ever notice how a child’s eyes light up when you get down and look them eye to eye at the same height they are at?
- What would our world be like if all the children enjoyed a great, wonderful,peaceful, lovable,understanding relationship with their parents & families.
- Why do we avoid confrontation even when we know we are right?
- Why do the walls of new homes come tumbling down before they start?
- When will we stop this jungle treatment, actually in some cases animals take care for their young better than humans do by a mile.
- Do you know that what you etch on a child’s feelings lasts a lifetime.
“We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.” ~Stacia Tauscher
P.S. Some of my family used me as a tool to frighten the little kids in the family if they did not listen to their parents orders, What an impact on me and the little ones. I managed to turn the tables on them, and started to save the children by making them do more of the bad things they were doing, this was when I was 14-17.
