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.
