We publish the next two letters about the relationship between parents and children found in the magazine “Family and School”
The habit of work is noble
I want to express my opinion about the problem of education of hard work in the family. What are the child’s duties – constant or better to diversify them?
I know one mother who says that her ten -year -old daughter has a sea of duties, but the girl “does not want to do anything, very stubborn”. But I think, the point is not stubborn, but in the fact that the responsibilities are just a “sea” in which a little person is easy to drown.
From the editor of the site:
We advise you to do some joint needlework with the child. For example, felting from wool, which is different called – felting. This is a very exciting process of creating products and toys exclusively by felting from natural wool, which has a special structure of hairs. Merino wool is ideal for these purposes. You can find out more about all this here – Hmstudio. . /419-SERST-DLIA-VALIANIJA-AVSTRALIJSKIJ-Merinos. Believe me, it will pass on both you and your children. And joint fascinating work is a very good teacher.
Now we continue ..
Where to get the habit of responsible for the assigned? Now, if the habit is already formed, you can increase the volume and complicate the nature of the work. A certain automatism of skills will become the basis of the natural need to work. Recall the Nekrasov lines: “”… This habit of work is noble…”
Take another example. The mother of a five -year -old boy in the morning tells him about his plans for not a day and his duties. And these duties were determined for a child from an early age: to tighten the bed, feed the cat, pour flowers, remove toys. It was necessary to see how proud of the child was with this trust and his contribution to the common areas.
When a child, in response to the request of his parents, to do this or that says “I don’t want to”, then something is missed in his upbringing. I believe that the child needs to determine specific responsibilities and instructions from the very beginning; This will help to educate him with a hardworking and obligatory person.

You can’t retreat
I read about how my mother could not protect her sons from the injustice of her, and remembered her case.
Then I was still a young father. The son studied and fourth grade and was friends with a classmate. That boy lived with his mother and aunt, a woman is no longer very young. Once they came to our house and said: “I have disappeared money, except for your son, to take no one, no one else goes to us”. You can imagine what began in our family?! They interrogated the son of the house, then in the apartment where the money disappeared, then I am the school for the teacher. I believed in my soul to my son, but his relatives acted in pressure, and it was a pity to see them, saddened. In a word, I went about them.
My wife and I decided to give money. But, fortunately, the boy’s mother appeared in our house before we have. With tears, she began to apologize, said that her sister put the money in an unusual place, forgot, and a week later she remembered. When the son heard this, he cried with joy. And reproached us, parents, for the fact that we did not believe him. I still cannot forget these fair reproaches.
