What do children learn from adults and adults learn from children?

Content

Children, of course, observe family people, imitate them, learn from them. And what can we adults learn from children? Not only to understand the needs and mood of children from a half-view, from a half-word, but also to much more. Let's reflect ...

Have patience

When a new small family member is born, it suddenly turns out that patience for us adults is just not enough. And if it is, then it will not last long. But everything can be fixed! As the kids grow up and grow up, we begin to calmly respond to many of their pranks. Crawled into a puddle again? Well, so what! We pull him out of there calmly and even with a smile! Threw a tantrum, achieving his immediately and now? Nothing wrong! We calmly explain that doing so is ugly, and besides, he still won’t be allowed to eat ice cream on the street, after all, winter. It seems that we have pumped inside ourselves some kind of infinite invisible muscle, the reserves of power of which are inexhaustible.

But what about the patience of our little ones? They also learn this difficult, but such necessary quality. Children already know that whims will not help, and the queue to the doctor should still stand. And gifts (at least don't ask!) Santa Claus will bring only on New Year's Eve.

Respect the personal space of each family member

Adults must always adhere to the rule: children should enter the room by knocking and asking permission. And if on the table there is a forgotten notebook pasted over with flowers and butterflies or a personal diary, you should not open them without asking, even if there is no son or daughter at home. Teenagers also draw conclusions: if their personal space is respected, then they will not take parental clothes without demand.

Take care of relatives

Does your daughter have a tired look and no mood? And tomorrow for the lesson you need to finish embroidering napkins. Help her; together, things are arguing faster, and communication during work will only benefit. My daughter has a good rating and she, of course, is glad of a good rating and the time spent with you, and you will find a surprise - washed dishes and a cleaned apartment. Everyone is happy - this time, the common cause brings together - these are two, positive emotions - these are three! Here is how many positive moments you can get! And also a free hour that allows you to relax without a twinge of conscience 🙂

Rejoice at the simplest

Our children, growing up, begin to discover the world. They rejoice at the most ordinary and everyday occurrences: here a butterfly flutters from a blade of grass to a blade of grass, but the plane flew by, and this big bug buzzes. Wonders! We help kids see the beauty of the world.Children are delighted, but we also get no less positive emotions than they do.

Learning to achieve a goal

Children are amazing creatures who show extraordinary perseverance, try again and again to overcome obstacles that arise in their path. The sofa, ottoman, chair persistently stormed, do not despair and, like real heroes, go around. Children's maneuvers look pretty funny, but they remind adults that there are no hopeless situations, you just need to be smart and not back down from your goals.

Being yourself is wonderful!

Children cannot pretend when they are overwhelmed with emotions, because they do not quite know how to control their condition. They rejoice when they are really joyful, sad, offended, admire, show interest, when there are reasons for that, they are angry. When you talk with a child, you can inadvertently reveal in yourself either a capricious baby of about four or a restless teenager, but you are already a lady who can show her intellectual and athletic abilities in the game “cities”, “I know a hundred names ...”, “Edible-inedible”, “bouncer” and badminton. And that is great! Allow yourself to be direct and to show real, not simulated emotions. And the children discover that there is nothing to worry about being direct even being at such a “venerable” age.

Keeping your word can be difficult, but it is necessary!

He promised - fulfilled! This should become law in the family. After all, we have been taught from childhood that we should not throw words into the wind, promise and not fulfill. And you, if you already promised your son or daughter a trip to the zoo or cycling, then do not forget to do it. Phrases such as “piled up a lot of work” in this case are not accepted. And the son or daughter, who vowed to assure you that they will definitely call when they get home, do so, and not otherwise.

Make discoveries

Every day, children discover something new for themselves. It turns out that salt dissolves in water, but the sand does not want, the dog is a good friend and protector. As for Grandma’s baking, it’s the most delicious! An amazing fact: we adults, unexpectedly for ourselves, find something new in long-familiar things. And that is great!

Trust

Confidence is the main condition in the relationship of loved ones. However, trust can be difficult, but we have been learning this for life. We trust the children, and therefore let them go out for a walk with friends in the evening, transfer money through them for meals at school, and do not conceal their defeats at work and successes from them. We can hope that they will do the same to us. And when our help is needed, they will turn to us because they trust.

Children can teach us kindness, affection, gratuitous love. And from this, further actions will come up from adults in relation to their children. Well, adults need to be very careful, as children copy behavior and actions very quickly. You can accidentally teach something bad and then it will take a lot of time to fix it.

My daughter taught me not to rush, to be more attentive to simple things, and yes, of course, to enjoy every day of my life, and most importantly to appreciate these days. It also helped to feel like the most beloved and beautiful mother in the world!
