How to Learn From Your Children

Raising children can be the most rewarding experience of your life. They can bring joy and pleasure to you. Sometimes may not bring too much joy. This is when children become the teacher. You become the pupil. Here are lessons that you may learn from them.

In the kitchen, children can be a big help. They may also be a hindrance. Suppose you want to use your electric rice cooker. These cookers are very good for steaming vegetables. However, they are not particularly efficient for cooking crayons. This can bring new meaning to the term, steamed. Lesson one: keep rice cookers from small hands.

Everyone loves children’s artwork. It adorns millions of refrigerator doors. It is not as adored, when it is on your living room wall. Refrigerator art is easily moved. Wall art tends to be more permanent.

Often times these works of wall art have mysterious origins. If you ask several children about the artist, they will not know who it was. This may be a mystery for the ages. Lesson two: wall art has unknown origins.

Children rarely do such things on purpose. They do not possess the mental faculties as adults. Suppose your child is making mud pies. He or she would have no problem using your Kitchenaid hand mixer, to prepare the pies. They do not mean to be destructive. Destruction comes naturally. Lesson three: keep mixers in a safe place.

Children helping parents is a great learning tool. For some reason, children always wish to help at the most inopportune times. When there are groceries to be carried in, they are nowhere to be found. If you need help consuming those groceries, there is an abundance of help. Lesson four: bring groceries home at dinnertime.

Many children have become adept at not doing things. They realize that they can do a pitiful job at something. You may not ask them to repeat the task. It is often more work to supervise them, than to do it yourself. Lesson five: persistence is a virtue.

Sometimes you will have a problem with music. Most likely, it will be the music volume. You can utilize the Mcculloch chainsaw rule. This rule states that you can start up your chainsaw. If you still hear the music, it has to stop for one week. Lesson six: chainsaw maintenance and child discipline can be accomplished in one step.

Final thoughts

Raising children can be as challenging as it is rewarding. They will teach you more things than you can possibly teach them. Go with the flow and receive your education. It will come in handy, when there are grandchildren to spoil.
