By what you do, you teach your children how to respond to difficult information.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Children take in more information than we'd like to believe.
I think the way kids learn most is not by what you say, but by what you do.
'What can your kids teach you?' Well, I believe something different about kids. We don't own them, they have their own knowledge. From the start you have to make the choice to listen.
By looking at the questions the kids are asking, we learn the scope of what needs to be done.
What do we tell our children? Haste makes waste. Look before you leap. Stop and think. Don't judge a book by its cover. We believe that we are always better off gathering as much information as possible and spending as much time as possible in deliberation.
If we want children to learn to tend the land and nourish themselves and have conversations at the table, we need to communicate with them in ways that are positive.
If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others.
It's not about what you tell your children, but how you show them how to live life.
When you have solved the problem of controlling the attention of the child, you have solved the entire problem of its education.
Kids learn more from example than from anything you say; I'm convinced they learn very early not to hear anything you say, but to watch what you do.
