"To give a child liberty is not to abandon him to himself"
Dr. Maria Montessori
Children are pure souls from God sent to you as blessings. As parents, we should be grateful for having them. The responsibility does not stop at just being grateful.
We can make our kids into loving progressive beings or make them genetic robots.
Genetic Robots are unable to think independently or uniquely. They will do and behave in a very similar manner, as any other genetic robot of a particular system or culture will do in a particular situation. Genetic Robots are brought up in "do not think" and " do what others are doing" environments by their parents. If you make your kid limited to such a calculated environment. Then surely, there is a 99.9% chance of bringing up one more genetic robot in society.
“To assist a child, we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.”
Dr. Maria Montessori
In my country Pakistan," all parents want their girl and boy to become doctors or engineers. Pakistani parents also got a third priority option, which is to convert children into government civil servants when they grow up. Yup indeed! this is funny and ironic at the same time.
The impact of parents on children is like God’s impact on human beings, and I strongly believe that. These "Parent Gods" can show their kids, the path of life, wisdom, love, and happiness to reach their destiny or vice versa.
Well, the Parent Gods can also just kill a child’s potential and turn him or her into a Genetic Robot. I am sure, you do not want your child to be another rat joining the rat race of life.
As parents, we all can make a good progressive choice for our children to make them what they should be
THE THREE DO NOT'S
- Never poke your nose into everything. Let your kids make their own decisions in little and big scenarios both.
- Never dictate to children about anything. Guide them about the pros and cons but let them observe, think and do the problem-solving.
- Never judge your child instead accept him or her, the way they are as unique individuals.
THE THREE DO’S
- Give your children hope and the vision to be hopeful.
- Tell them that happiness is a choice and a way of perceiving life.
- Let them dream and encourage them to make their wonderlands.
The last and the most important thing that as parents, you should admit and accept is "YOU ARE NOT GOD."
You cannot control everything to protect your child from every disaster of a life. You can dream high for your kids, try your best and be hopeful. “Give this golden key also to your kids by practicing it.”
As “Imitation is the first instinct of the awakening mind.”
Dr. Maria Montessori
Dream fearlessly and love unconditionally without calculating your own and your children’s life. This is the best investment you can make for your child. We are not robots to calculate life and its different dimensions.
As human beings we love and love is the strongest miracle in itself. This miracle of love when combined with other human potentials, results in success and progress. We are spiritual beings and making our journey through a piece of time. We are not separate from the miracles of God. We are the miracles and we believe in miracles too.
Let your children dream of the most impossible accomplishment. Let them, love, discover, and wander in the wonderlands of life to discover miracles, because this is what makes us " THE ULTIMATE BEINGS OF GOD".
