“Teach your children to fish so they can feed themselves.” Yes, it is indeed true that experience is the best teacher. Let experience teach your kids to grow and learn and improve by themselves. This way, they will be able to succeed even with little aid from you. Of course, support from the parents is important. But you would feel successful as a parent if your child could stand on his or her own feet. This means that they weren’t spoon-fed all the time and that the more important things in life were crystal clear in their own eyes and they were able to understand it.
Once kids learn by observing and through experience, they are not just “learning” or getting additional “knowledge.” They are developing themselves. They are creating their own names and molding their own personalities and characters that they need in order to be successful in the near future. It would also be easier for them to overcome problems, troubles and face various issues in life. They will be stronger individuals and will never be labeled as “cry babies” or someone who couldn’t do things without the parents.
I came across this video that will open our eyes about how to effectively teach the kids. Life isn’t about ABCs and 123s. It is about reality and experience.
Teach your children to fish so that they can feed themselves. 🙂
