RE: OLAAT - Don't Talk to Strangers - What should we telling our children?

in #family7 years ago

This message is so so important. I really like the way you added 'in a loving manner' and 'with love' in everything because love should really be our language of communication especially when it comes to kids. Their minds are so tender that if we just warn them without having a logical conversation in a friendly and loving environment, we are likely to upset them and maybe turn them into rebels. I have often seen children do exactly what they are not supposed to do when they are just commanded and not given a proper explanation in a nice manner. So proud of you for doing this!

Thank you Sharoon, I do believe this is an important message too and that having a 'loving conversation' is so much more effective then just giving orders without the child understanding why.
I totally agree that children can rebel and go do the opposite, which is why understanding the reasons is so important.
Thanks for sharing your views and for your support, much appreciated! :)
