IN the land of parenting there is there are two universal truths -- even with the insights of family and friends -- you will all end up mothering your children differently and won't always have the answers. In fact many experts will tell you that the best mothers are those who are stitched will the many lessons they learned having admitted and corrected their mistakes. This week, mother's share what they value as the most important parenting lessons they have learned. Here’s what they had to say: Kaylor: I have learned that I must consider these four core values: correction, instruction, discipline and encouragement in guiding my children. I also learned that as an important to take an authoritative persona drawing strength from biblical guidance bible; Proverbs 22:6 train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it. …show more content…
You have to realise that it is the most important job and you have to be as serious and as firm about it like you are about the one that you are being paid to do. Children require time and patience and you will always have to aim to make sacrifices for them, to take time out to understand them because they deserve your undivided attention. This is especially important because children are curious and they act fast so you simply have to at all times have your eyes on them and even though your eyes are best when your eyes are not on them make sure another trusted adult eyes are. Jessica: It’s not easy raising a child; it is a difficult, demanding task. With my son I make sure to show him love but I don't spoil him. I ensure that I am always in his life; on a daily basis we share information that are beneficial to both of us so by doing that there is a bond between us. Last, but not least I set rules; he knows he expected to follow them. I believe firmly in saying train up a child in the way he/she should go that when they old they will not depart from
1. Has something bad ever happened to you in life and someone else told your story? Did they miss any important details or change a few facts to make it seem more interesting? When the media gets a hold of a topic that could potentially be a big deal to our nation they jump into action and conclusions. Most often they are quick to make conclusions to make their story seem more complete than competing stations.
Also, understanding what the role of a parent is,
Good parenting is, in part, the combination of giving an instructive, yet friendly treatment. Like a teacher, good parents impart their knowledge onto their children. Like a friend, good parents have good communication with their children. In her letter to her son, Abigail Adams displays the effectiveness of this element of good parenting. Mrs. Adams demonstrates how a pedantic, yet reassuring tone allows parents to succeed in placing responsibilities on their children, and most importantly, in leading their children to deduct that these responsibilities are just and achievable.
From this experience I have learned that I can change my future childrens mindset by the words of
1.If you have (or have had) grandparents, or older adults in your life who fulfilled the role of grandparent, identify the various roles that these individuals have played or are currently playing in your life. My grandparents have tremendously impacted my life with constant warmth, love, affection, and motivation. They have served as caregivers when my parents were at work, so I began to build some sort of attachment toward my grandparents. When I was younger, for example, I would ride the school bus to my grandparents’ house after my classes while my parents were at work.
By using these skills, I can also practice comparing and contrasting the many ways of dealing with problems a child might cause, and determine the best course of action to resolve a real-life situation in real time. Growing up, my parents never took me to daycare instead they let my grandparents take care of me, on one hand, I would get spanked if I did something wrong and on the other, my Grandma would give me M&M’s from my grandfather’s secret candy stash, and being raised with two different families made me realize the pros and cons of each. Being with two different families showed me different ways to care for a child, and how the method is chosen can affect the child in the future. Although I had loving grandparents who gave sweets every day , I also had stern ones who helped show me how to survive the daily world.
As a parent for the weekend, I lost a lot of sleep, didn’t get to do much, and struggled getting my homework done, but I learned a lot. I learned that I overall liked having a child. The fact that I had to care for another human being brought me joy. Along with learning what I did like, I learned about what I didn’t like. One thing I didn’t like was very time I picked up the baby I wanted to play with him
I feel that I take the child’s feeling into consideration well i.e. if I know a child is upset on their settles, I would give them a cuddle straight away or get an activity out that I know the child enjoys. However, an area I could improve on would be to understand that sometimes children, who have been at the setting for a while, will have days where they will just need a cuddle as they miss their mummy. I need to understand that just because a child has been in that room a while doesn’t always necessarily mean they aren’t missing their
Every child has the ability to learn and develop. Having high expectations is especially important in achieving better outcomes for the most vulnerable children. Some children require additional support and different learning experiences and opportunities to help them learn and develop. If a staff member didn’t have a high expectation of a child in my work place I would challenge them and remind them that they took the role on and committed to high expectations for all the children’s learning and development and support which they would require, in my role and being a parent myself I can recognise that every child can learn, but some children require quite different opportunities and support to be able to do this, A.B when I first started
They also need to pay attention to behaviours, listening to the child and building a trusting relationship. It is key that children are involved
Know and understand the settings policies and procedures- Any person working within childcare should have a clear understanding of their settings policies and procedures knowing all the rules and how to follow them appropriately so they know exactly who to turn to in any given situation. Child makes an allegation of abuse to you- Ensure you make no promises to the child (if they ask you not to tell anyone or to keep it a secret) and that you will do everything possible to help them and their situation. Reassure them and let them feel safe and that they have done the right thing.
I have also learned an important lesson. We never get the opportunity back for each time the parent pushes the child away. I should try my best to acknowledge the child’s feelings and meet the child’s interests, needs and wishes at any time. 6.

The textbook for this course, Infants, Toddlers, and Caregivers, is based on ten principles for child care that are outlined by researcher Magda Gerber in the 1970’s. The ten principles are based on a philosophy of respect. In addition to the ten principles, a caregiver should know the “Three-R’s” for interaction. The Three R’s are respectful, responsive and reciprocal.
Children who are raised with plenty of love and care are usually creative and have high academic results so they can get pleasing jobs. By the courage and support from their parents, they try to achieve their dreams. On the way to success, they will meet troubles, but their parents, who understand them clearly, will always be ready to help them when they need. If parenting is your concern, then try being permissive, it might bring more benefits than you
Life's lessons Forgiveness is a life lesson I learned at a very young age. It has empowered me to accept and overcome my disability, to live a productive life, to maintain a close relationship with my father, and has given me the deep desire to help others who find themselves in similar circumstances. Let me explain. At the age of 4, I was injured in an accident involving a riding lawn mower operated by my father Mark.
