How is a parent supposed to set the boundaries for the child?! When you have a 20 year old son, how do you tell him where his place is? What rights does he have and what responsibilities he should accept?
Is it fair to let him become 20 before we start thinking about how to teach him this?! What is the appropriate age for a child to learn about decision making, responsibility, relationships, rights and ethics?!
A good example of waiting too much would be....... (I guess everyone knows who I mean!!!) And a perfect example of 4 year old children who have a perfectly clear and correct understanding of the concept would be Maryam's twins!
So I don't think there's any such thing as a too early age for a child to learn these thing, is there?!
You can spend a small amount of time and energy to teach your child at this age instead of spending a hell of a lot of time, energy and money (!) to try teaching him at the age 20 with very little success!
The cost of making mistakes at age 4 is mostly a couple of small cuts and bruises (did I spell it right?!?!) while the cost at the age 20 could be emotional breakdown, depression, bankruptcy or...
A 20 year old is adult enough to be considered responsible for the decisions, but is it entirely his fault? and who payes for these mistakes?
And another question would be how to help the kid learn even though it seems to be late now?! is there a chance? What's it gonna cost?!
...?!?!
first of all OMG!!!for god's sake sister plzzz practice some dictation!!!:D
ReplyDeletesecondly i think there are some rules and facts that require a specific age to be taught to a kid , what i mean is that if you pass that age it is hardly possible ( almost impossible ) to learn that specific concept . on the other hand , there are some things that are never too late to learn ...
it is sadly true that as the kid grows up , he(she) has the authority over his mind to choose to LEARN what the parents are trying to teach him or not , he can choose whether he LIKES that concept or not!without realizing he is still not old enough to make such a decision...
after all parenting is such a HUGE responsibility and I myself cannot accept it.at least not yet! :)
what was wrong with my spelling?! what did I spell wrong?!
ReplyDeleteso, as a parent how do you distinguish how and when and what o teach the kid, and as a kid how do you decide when and what and how to accepts your parents' teachings?!
