RE: Peaceful Parenting | Smith Family
I was an elementary teacher who taught at 2nd grade classroom.
There was a time when I faced the difficulties to make the parents understand what their children's really need. Most of parents used to compare their kids abilities to the other students.
Parent should know that every children is unique.
Some are good at math
Some are good at dancing
Some are good toward animal
Some are good at empatizing
The parents just could not force their kids to be someone else. The kids are genius in their own ways. Parents should not be judgmental toward children's passion and abilities.
For me, as the elementary school teacher, peaceful parenting means that the parents accept the differences. They eager to empower the children's passions. The parents trust their children's so they can grow up to be the best version of theirself. That's what children need the most; trust, compassion and patience from their parents.
