Learn from your children (Part 2)
Learn to see the positive side of things. How often do you wake up in the morning grumbling? Pay attention that children very seldom wake up in a bad mood. They are ready to be pleased with each new day! Any trifle causes delight: new, cheap, a toy and simply a trip to a new place.
Learn to see the world without prejudices. Children initially have no prejudices and perceive people from the impressions. They more easily submit to circumstances than adults.
Children in their estimation of the person never look at the well-being, color of skin, etc. If the child loves any person – it’s only for internal qualities - care, compassion, cheerfulness, etc., instead of how he looks, behaves or which toys gives. As a rule, if the small child has prejudices they are imposed to him by adults.
Learn to be honest. The child initially is not inclined to lie. All his “lie” is harmless imaginations. Children younger than six years frequently tell the stories thought out by them and sometimes they even trust these stories. It is not lie or deceit; they just do not precisely distinguish a reality from fiction. Child learns to lie knowingly from adults, and first “teachers”, unfortunately, are parents.
Learn not to give up. Have you ever seen the child, trying to learn to go? He or she falls, rises, again falls and again rises. Children are incredibly persistent and persevering in their desire to achieve something. Besides they have a good stock of patience and can wait for results of the activity for a long time.
