There's a startling difference between children learning through self-discovery, and children learning through self-discovery with proper guidance. The first things that children learn will be the things that stay with them and mould formative years until they reach adulthood.
Let us suppose you let your children learn through self-discovery. To a certain extent, self-discovery is good since it develops full independence and self-reliance. However, the learning process might be slow. In a sense, It is similar to a hit and miss experience for children. they must segregate the good from the bad, the right from the wrong, what they like and what they don't. It is usually that what they will like are those that come easy to them or people who they enjoy the most. And people who they enjoy the most might not necessarily be the good ones. Without proper guidance, what they like and like the most may likely be hurting them although they may not be aware of it. Perhaps later, locate out that they picked the wrong choices, it can be too late.
With self-discovery through proper guidance, you may be able to leave room to enable them to develop independence and self-reliance. very same time, show them what is right what is wrong. Explain to them why. If possible, cite instances or examples based on true-to-life events include them as more convincing and realistic. The more realistic they are, the more easily the children are convinced. Likewise, try teaching these questions friendly and humorous atmosphere. Children are more attentive and eager to learn when all (both teachers and students) are in an easy mood. you should understand and feel their eagerness to learn through the sparkle for many years and Incidentally they answer your questions. you will be sure that what they learn from you is acceptable to them and will stay with them. That is why, as a parent, you must show enthusiasm in life to your children.
There's a third method of making children learn. That is through proper guidance leaving negligible room for self-discovery. But there are drawbacks. You take away from them the main advantages of self-reliance and independence. The guidance you devote to them may be good and well intended, but they must not rely on you on almost everything they do. They become decision-dependent on you. There are instances wherein such a guidance might be worse than giving no guidance at all.
There are parents who underwent hardships during their childhood, strived, and became successful financially. Although they are financially able to guide and assist their children to a better life, they prefer that their children undergo the same difficult experience they underwent during their younger years. Their reason: so that their children will value and experience the same things they went through. This is applicable to stubborn and rebellious youngsters, but not to disciplined ones. Why must their sons and daughters repeat the same difficulties? There is no reason to. This is like punishing the innocent. Instead of repeating the experience, they should learn from it. Life is too short to repeat unsavoury experiences.
One of the best ways to broaden your children's knowledge about life is by travelling. The world - its varied people, places, and cultures - has a lot of information to offer. It is perhaps as important as the conventional classroom. if you are financially able, travelling is one of the best educational experiences you can give your children. Look for exhibits or world fairs, and take your children there. Books are the next best things. Its travelling by reading.
Fill your children with thoughts of self-importance, confidence, and positive attitude so that there will be no room for negative thinking. More importantly, fill their world with laughter, love, and understanding. You'll never go wrong.
