Parenting.

Parenting


Well, today afternoon I just had a meeting in kindergarten with my colleagues and the boss. And she told us something that I feel is really useful for the parents. She just attends a seminar yesterday, and here’s what she told us after the seminar.

She said, the roles of the parents should not be the same all the time. I mean, daddy should not be the one who always showing kids his fierce face while mommy is the one who always pampered child the most. Sometimes, parents need to exchange the roles. You don’t wish your kids scared of you all the time right? You also hope they will tell you everything right? Then, EXCHANGE THE ROLE !
She also mentions that do not wait until you are old then only cherish the moment with the kids. You might not be late yet, but there are something missing part in their early childhood memories already. Try to communicate with them since they are young ! Always talk to them, they like you to tell them different stories.

So, show your love to them ! Do not wait until you lost the moment then only regret !
A child only needs a simple thing from you -- LOVE =)

Maintaining a safe classroom is to be able to set up and to reduce and prevent injuries. The arrangement of space is important for children to move around and play such as different learning areas, the number of children and so on. We can provide appropriate equipment for different age group of children. We should provide no toxic and clean materials for children to play. We also need to note all of the blind spot so we are able to observe children.

Parenting.

Parenting is an evolving experience. We can actually feel that parents are looking at the world with a different perspective. They want the very best for their children. Thus, parentig is it important? We feel that good parenting is important for young children.

First, patience is the most important ingredient for parenting. Sometimes, children would do something wrong and they do not know that they are doing wrong. Thus, we should teach and tell them the right way but not scold them.

Next, making a point clear is important for children. We should explain to the children of what they can do and what is right so that they won’t feel confused. We need to be firm in ideals but not aggressive.

Besides that, parents should make time and enjoy parenting. They might schedule time for play time, study and a trip with their children. They really need to spend their time to care and talk with children because nowaday parents are busy on their working.

In addition, children are always observe and imitated what we did. Thus, we should be a good role model to show honesty. We must keep up the promise that we have made and don’t just simply make a promise which you can’t do it. It will hurt the children if you can't make your promise.

Last but not least, we can always give an opportunity for children to explore and experience by themselves. Let them to choose what they want to do and we just guide them but not help them to do everything.
