raising children Educate by example! In the square
in front of a church on Sunday, some well-dressed people with their children
are waiting for the start of church service. A mother had just taken her baby
out of the stroller and was trying to calm it down in her swaying arms. The
four-year-old daughter now pushed the empty vehicle in front of her, in the
direction of her father. He noticed the approaching one, took his large scarf
and imitated a bullfighter. They played a few rounds with joy. The mother
called the father, he looked at her and the light pram drove into him. The
girl and the father laughed. The three-year-old son had seen the scene and
wanted to take part, so he rode his balance bike into the girl at full speed
and laughed. The father is sitting in front of
the television with a well-deserved bottle of beer to watch the football
game, the mother ironing the last shirt before she sits down with him.
Sometimes the father mumbles something about the game in his non-existent
beard, but otherwise nothing can be heard except the TV turned down. The
children are already in bed. The mother: “Our children sleep like angels!” If
the children carry on like this, they will become just as inactive as their
angelic father is. A small child in a stroller is
screaming. That is its form of expression. It saw something and wants it. If
the parents don't want to give it to him, they say, “the baby's a bit
whimpering, I'm sure it's tired!” They put it to bed. Sleep becomes a
punishment here, even though it should be a pleasure to be able to relax. He was a pretty good athlete once,
won various smaller competitions. However, when he failed to make the leap to
becoming a professional athlete, he stopped training and became a coach himself.
Today, like his old trainer, he stands with a fat belly on the edge and yells
at the children what to do. The children might think: "Will we look the
same one day if we continue training like this?" A child asks his father: “Daddy!
Why is it raining? ”-“ My dear son! How long is the longest ladder in
grandfather's orchard? ” “About ten times as tall as me.” “And how high is
the sky?” “Maybe a hundred times.” “No, a thousand times!” “Oh, the sky is so
high!” “You see! And that's why the raindrops have to jump down if they want
to get to the ground.” “Daddy! Do you mind if I ask so many questions?” “No,
my son! You have to learn something! And if you study hard, you will become
as smart as me." A child bites down its
fingernails. It doesn't matter as long as it’s little, but when it starts
getting interested in girls at the age of thirteen or fourteen it only bites its
nails when it’s alone. An adult suggests to the young person to imagine that
someone is always watching it. First, the young person makes a couple of dummy
cameras out of paper and sets them up in his room to get used to the idea.
And after a short time his fingernails grow so that he has to cut them. But
he now has the cameras in his head and feels that he is being watched
everywhere. |
