With that dull blade, you not only waste...So true! With that dull blade, you not only waste four hours but you also have a terrible looking cut when you are done. With children, there is no reason to push them to do things they are not intellectually, physically, or emotionally ready to do. First, the child just wastes their time doing these tasks when they could be doing something that is appropriate for their level from which they will not only learn but also gain a sense of accomplishment and confidence by completing it. By doing work they are not ready for, they will feel bad when they are not able to do the task correctly and this will hurt their self-confidence, even when they approach the task at a later time that they should be ready to perform it. As parents we need to help our children succeed. This is not done by just pushing information at them and making them regurgitate it and get a grade for it. Teaching them to succeed needs to start with teaching them a love for learning and a curiosity about their world and then helping them develop the tools they need to make the most of themselves and find their own personal fit in the world.Savor The Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02283417857832610906noreply@blogger.com
