RE: Day 150- Steemit Education Homework- HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE KIDS TO DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY?
On a short writing i can share the following ones;
(of course this is a general thing and doesn't apply to all... 100%, that's why we're different)
elders will not have the same patience as we have or more younger people have and that it can be one reason for some of their actions
the education we all get in our time will influence for sure 100% of our behavior, but lot of us are able to change and it depends on how much they are open to the new world behavior and habits and embrace at least part of it. It is impossible to accept all the new things without some consequences. But most of the elders now are grown in a very strict world and they can't be thought now what is good or wrong when they lived that moments. They can only accept that some things will never be the same and it is what it is. We will also be old in the future and we will have maybe the same reactions as they have now to us. Our kids will have the same in their time... and so on.
At some point this thing can help to have a balance and to have different perspective to life and not to go on with your head straight in that way. It is better always to have somebody that help you see a bit different. Even if he is wrong, it might open your eyes in a way.
The kids as i said in other posts/comments, is better to find alone about how things works with only our guidance and real examples. Then we can watch them doing and from time to time depending on the task/action he is doing we can intervene or not and at the end we can talk with them and show them what was right or wrong from our perspective. We can be wrong too at some point, that's why is good to tell them also not that all things are right because we say so. Just as we see them good in that way with arguments. And we can look after that how they change in their behavior.
Obviously, for kids the world is a unknown territory and they will have questions every day. It is the way we function. Without experience we need to learn and see.
And also, as you said, that is the most important thing. There are some general "rules and principles" that we can apply to any of us, but we are diferent and also react in our own way so to apply things we must mold after their behavior and beliefs.
Love will always work but also they need to learn that they must not forget their family and friends. To always have a balance in what they do. And that they will meet bad people that will try to scam them also making him feel bad and give away things just for some words or fake comportament.
Pff... words will always be words. But i always found in this kind of words my own way and i like to write them because it may help others too.
Even if they do not agree with what i say. Then, i will make them think twice and is still an achievement ;-)
Cheers
There is a sea of wisdom bubbling inside you. Glad to see it erupt here :) I want to write a longer reply, but feeling a little tired, maybe in a few hours.
Hehe... yes it is or it was... who knows.
Day by day it goes away whatever it is.
I hope i will be back soon here. I'm working in the last "pump" of the business this year.
Hope you all guys doing well.
Cheers
