Is it possible to create positive educational discipline for our children?
One of the main reasons that concern us as parents is to know how to move between the extremes of authoritarianism and overprotection in order to find a balanced educational style, I know that sometimes as parents we ask ourselves, is it possible to have an education without having to apply rewards or punishments? Both aspects are divided by a very thin line that depends on our experience as parents since we have been down that road and which we want to apply to our children and improve it if possible, something that is a real challenge that we are approving as our children grow and we begin to measure their behavior.
For nobody is a secret that in our hands as parents and in the hands of their educators lie the enormous responsibility to improve the behavior of humanity towards our planet Earth, and that depends a lot on the type of education based on mutual respect, firstly towards themselves and then towards the people around them, promoting and applying values based on love, understanding and, above all, in the proper implementation of the error as a huge opportunity for the necessary learning of life and that leads them to improve their coexistence in general.
Our children have two fundamental pillars in their style of education with positive discipline, one of these pillars we are their parents and the other the educators, when some of them fail momentarily for any circumstance the other pillar must take the total responsibility until the balance between both pillars can be retaken, for example, at the moment in my country a great debate has been opened on the partial absence of the school activities, this motivated to vindictive claims on the part of the educators.
How to act as parents in this case?
Of course, this aspect originated in the public education sector, where children are not receiving classes, but, in circumstances like these it is us parents who must act and hold with caution the total responsibility for the education of children, some of us are professionals and even educators at other levels and we can act accordingly, however, others will not feel qualified, but, it should not be a reason to let the construction of positive educational discipline of their children decay, it is important that they can verify the multiple actions they can take in favor of the education of their children.
A positive educational discipline for our children should always start from the accumulation and application of positive values, such as perseverance, where in spite of any difficulty it is possible to find a solution, not to allow them to diminish their natural interest in learning, and always remember that the education of our children is and always will be a shared responsibility between us and the teachers, after all, as parents we are the most interested in the development in all senses of our children and, of course, it will always be possible to create a positive educational discipline for our beloved children, since not only their future is at stake, but that of humanity and the planet as a whole.
Until another opportunity my dear friends.
