The greatest irony in modern education is that we will not let children play when that is practically all our teenagers do.
What if children
played and worked with their parents more and were lovingly taught about
good and bad, right and wrong and true and false?
What if youth worked
very hard and put in long hours getting a great education and preparing
for their life mission? What amazing results could come of making such a
reversal in our society!
So what is a parent
to do? Just turn the kids out to pasture until his voice starts to
change or until you are buying her bigger shoes and longer jeans every
two months? Doesn't that feel like you are not parenting? Like you are
being irresponsible? How are the kids supposed to feel good about
themselves if they are not accomplishing anything?
The answer is much, much harder than keeping thirty kids in a classroom
progressing or running a homeschool for multiple children with varying
learning styles and ages while balancing home maintenance and other
responsibilities.
It is this: be inspirational. Be inspirational.
BE INSPIRATIONAL. So much is encompassed in this mandate, and it is the
answer to almost every insecurity and complication that arises in the
process of having a great classroom or a great home. Be inspirational.
