You can see hundreds, if not, thousands of book teaching us something, DIYs, and the ever famous 101s. Parenting is innate in all of us, it comes out naturally, effortless. However, it is always nice to know something new, like simple things we do not seem to notice at times.
I love kids. I even aspired to become a kindergarten teacher once. I love taking good care of them and I am devoted to the idea that somehow, in the future, what I've taught them as they're still young could help them be molded into a better, wiser person.
It is a tough task to guide children as they enjoy their lives and at the same time nourish their developmental milestones. Simple values can be taught while they are still young; the principles would be best absorbed by then. It is during the child's early development where in parents should practice the child saying short but meaningful phrases such as thank you, I am sorry, you are welcome the list will go so on and so forth.
I was in the mall this morning when I noticed a kid answer her mom's cell phone as they were completing their grocery list. The girl was at around 4-5 years of age. I was just surprised as to how the little one politely answered the call, and even if her mother already told her that it was her father who
is calling, she still asked "whose number is this please?" I then myself, I am going to train my kids the same. It is not simply about knowing who's on the line, but the thought of concern comes in. When broods do care whose number is this, it means, they would wish to make certain that they recognize who they are chatting with. And when the time comes that they grow up, kids would be more
vigilant on whom they do their businesses with. Correct me if I am mistaken, but I deem it might serve a little warning for them as they grow up so as not to trust people easily in a light way. I am sorry, but let's be honest, the world is not all good. This step is double purpose: they become watchful, and it makes the other person their talking to aware that they can guard themselves as well.
There is no harm in letting them inquire whose number is this, I think it might even be of help.:)
