In my opinion, there is no more responsible and difficult task in life than the upbringing of a new person.
By creating conditions for the growth of a new personality, we are laying the foundation for the future of mankind, no matter how pathetic it sounds, it is so!
And the most wonderful thing is that the ability of self-education is inherent in man.
This, one might say, is a magical property of a person (to develop based on one's own experience) at the same time facilitates the task of the educator, parent or caring adult, and at the same time makes this task very sensitive to systemic errors and the educator's own delusions.
So, for example, observing parents who often turn to books in search of answers to questions or for leisure, the child himself intuitively and naturally picks up his first books and, thanks to the example of adults, is imbued with tenderness and interest in reading.
If an adult considers books a relic of past centuries and relies on the Internet to find answers, then a child in such an environment will not even have an interest in books, not to mention its subsequent development.
This is one particular example that shows how the beliefs of a caring adult set the direction for the development of a little person's personality.
Of course, there are no ideal people, and therefore ideal parents. Ideal parents were once and they raised Jesus...
The best thing that an adult can do in the process of education is to be attentive to how exactly the growth and development of his close child occurs.
Nature help!
Nature is infinitely wise and has already provided everything to help with all her resources the growth and development of a new personality.
Nature has endowed us with a rich spectrum of different feelings, which, like radar, help the sprouts of a new personality break through the darkness of solid misunderstanding to the light and fresh air of awareness and analysis!
Feelings of touch, balance, own movement - give an intuitive understanding of one's place not only in a particular room, but also in the Universe!
The senses of smell, sight, taste, warmth and hearing are, one might say, the cat's whiskers of a growing Human, which help to navigate the here-and-now and create internal images of what is happening, which will later help to operate with internal images.
I acknowledge the existence of another kind of feelings, described by Rudolf Steiner, a physician and pedagogue: a sense of the word, a sense of thought, a sense of the Self and a sense of life.
I see the expression of these feelings in the people around me and I see in my children how these feelings manifest and develop.
It is the development of these feelings, drawing the attention of the child to the peculiarities of each side of perception, the education of his sensitivity and sensitivity, first of all, to himself ...
It is this sensory-pedagogical education that can teach a small person to perceive life and himself in it in all its fullness and variety of manifestations.
Each individual feeling brings up a specific personality trait and provides a natural, true support for real guidelines.
This will help the child, having become an adult, not only to harmoniously bear responsibility and steadfastly overcome difficulties.
This will help to remember, while living an adult life, how to enjoy every day you live!
Follow my publications on the topic and we will analyze, how each of the feelings inherent in nature works and helps us.
