7 Key Elements To Educate With Love
To educate with love means, first of all, to adore and admire that little person who looks at us from below, so eager for learning.
It means seeing ourselves in her, when she asks us all kinds of questions and wants to know everything.
Educating with love means teaching through affection, offering oneself and paying particular attention to the moments dedicated to this purpose, regardless of the time needed to do so.
Educating with love for effective learning
Learning is the mental function that consists in acquiring new knowledge. It is the process in charge of developing and implementing one’s skills. Through learning, we humans experience observation, assimilation and reasoning.
The formation of behavior and values, the transformation of skills and the accumulation of experiences are a consequence of what we learn.
Animals are born with certain instincts that give them the ability to climb, feed, walk, swim, hide from predators, based on the species to which they belong. Nonetheless, we humans find ourselves in constant learning from a very young age.
To learn effectively and facilitate a better assimilation of the subject, however, especially during childhood, it is essential that we are able to find our motivation.
One of the main motivations of the child you have at home may be to spend more time with you. For this reason we encourage you to be his teacher.
Moms, you need to know that learning is effective when it produces lasting change over time. In other words, we learn when we process matter and transform it into knowledge.
Learning something by heart to pass a test, for example, and then forgetting it once we have finished it, is not learning. Or, at the very least, it’s not the kind of learning that will come in handy. If we are educated people, we have the tools to apply everything we know to transform ourselves into independent, intelligent and educated beings.
We are ready to make our own decisions, because those same decisions will be based on solid foundations and will not be mere impulses that we will entrust to chance.
For this reason, be on the lookout: to make your little one become someone who is valuable because of his knowledge and not brute strength or economic position, or because he is the son or daughter of some important person.
Educate him, encourage him to learn all he can. However, do not do this through scolding, pressure, yelling, lecturing, punishment or physical abuse.
He needs to embrace effective learning that can last his entire life. He will only be able to do it by taking his time, without being forced to do so.
Educate your child with love and a lot of patience.
7 key elements to educate with love
To educate your child with love:
Put all your effort into offering him the best knowledge
To do this, you have to go beyond yourself, make an effort, do everything you can to pass on the education that you may never have received.
Remember that children must always be better than their parents. As a mother, it is your duty to prepare him for the life that awaits him.
Take your teachings seriously
It is absolutely essential that you see him as a human being who needs you, to learn to behave well, to overcome his shyness, to speak, to make decisions, to be faithful and to value what he possesses, to make use of the best values and to want well and respect others as his peers.
For this reason, you need to be serious about your teachings and show your child how important they are.
Applaud his results
If your child sees that you value his achievements and you are proud of it, if he feels appreciated by the person who, to him, is the most important in the world (you, of course), he will try to put even more effort into learning.
Applaud him for every goal he achieves, praise him when he learns something new, highlight his qualities and reward his efforts.
Alternate affection with teachings
Even when you feel like your child’s teacher, you need to remember that you continue to be his mother.
Alternate the moments you dedicate to his education with caresses, kisses, hugs… In this way, he will feel even more relaxed.
Give him the freedom he needs to learn and make his mistakes
If your child receives the necessary means to fend for himself, you will be contributing to the development of his autonomy and independence.
This also means educating him with love.
Let him try and take his risks. It doesn’t matter if he makes mistakes. What really matters is that he is able to get up and keep striving.
Mom, educating with love is very easy. You just have to want it.
