Teach success before teaching responsibility. Teach them to believe in themselves. Teach them to think, 'I'm not stupid'. No child wants to fail. Everyone wants to succeed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The worst mistake you can make with children is to talk to them in a condescending, patronising way and think that you can teach them something. You have to understand that it is you who will be learning from them. You have to get into their world and see things from their perspective.
Teach your children everything that you're not, because they will pick up on everything that you are.
I would want to teach my children someday that they should strive to be successful.
Praise your children more than you correct them. Praise them for even their smallest achievement.
I think that the only way to teach is by example, as children will more easily follow what they see you do than what you tell them to do.
We are working essentially to build a leadership force of folks who will, during their first two years of teaching, actually put their kids on a different trajectory - not just survive as a new teacher, but actually help close the achievement gap for their kids.
You teach your kids about your beliefs and tell them what you think is right and the conclusions that you've come to from living in the world, and then they can make their own decisions.
The desire for self-improvement is vital. There is no point in pushing children; they need to be the ones who want to learn new skills.
No child wants to fail. Everyone wants to succeed.
We are teaching kids to fail. We need to teach our kids to succeed.
