1. Which expressions can you understand?
Get out of bed, brush your teeth, make your bed, you gotta feed the cat, hurry the bus is here, eat the food I put up on your plate, your i-pod - my i-pod...
2. How many of these expressions sound familiar to you?
Many of them, in fact, but which I hear the most are make your bed, tidy your room, hurry the bus is here, you'r gonna be late, do something, clean the dishes, are you hungry? are you sure that you've eaten enaugh?, are you cold, are you hot, be careful, don't arrive late, etc, etc.
3. Are these sentences necessary to raise a child?
I believe that many of these expressions are necessary because, of course, a child needs to know what he has to do and what he should better not try. But anyway, it's important to say that mothers don't abuse on these expressions. Children can also get used to it if they hear the same sentences too many times, and it also happens a lot that, the more you forbit something, the more your children try to do it. So it's important to not be too strict with them, and also give them a minimum of freedom.
4. List must and mustn'ts on how to educate a child today in your opinion/experience
MUSTS:
- Try to be stict only if it's REALLY necesary.
- Don't shout at your children.
- Until they're about 6 or so, when you want to talk with them, go down on your knees to be on their height, to look in their eyes, there's more confidence this way.
- Make them do easy work, like bringin the rubbish outside or tidy their room. You have to tell them that their room belongs to them and that they have to take care of it.
- Make sure that theyr do their homework regullary, that they go to school and try that they
enjoy learning.
- If parents argue, try that children aren't in the room.
- Don't be too nice either. If children do something wrong, they must be punished a little, but don't be too strict, but it's important that they learn what to do.
- They have to say 'please' if they want something and 'thank you'.
MUSTN'TS:
- Shout on your children.
- Force your children too much to do something they don't want to do
- Let your children go out too many hours
- They mustn't stay out when it's dark
- Don't let them go with unknown people
- Don't be too strict
- Never hit them!!
- Don't be unfair with your decisions and punishments
- They don't have to stay too many hours watching TV or playing Computer games. You have to know about the programmes they watch.
5. "Children are not properly educated by their parents today" State your opinion in 100 words.
To bring up your children is one of the most important problems of our society. More than half of the population are in the middle of these situation, and a lot of other couples already feel like having their first baby. But which is the correct way to raise them? Are a few expressions really enough to make them see what is right or wrong or to show them how they have to behave in the best way?On the one hand, it is definitely important that you tell your children regullary what they probably better do not have to do for a correct live in society, but on the other hand it is essencial that parents don't abuse on these sentences, because a child can soon get used to them and consequently stop listening to their parents advices. Furthermore, we can prove that many kids sooner or later do what they want and don't really care about their parents advices or prohibitions.
Nonetheless, it can also be good if you leave your child to make his own experiences, with fire for example, instead of saying "NO" to everything. A kid will need to see what happens if they really touched this "so dangerous" flames, so this will probably be the best way for them to learn what's right or wrong.
In conclusion, for a correct education it is important that parents always treat their children with fairness, with some punishments, yes, but without being too strict with them. Children must also have a minimum of freedom, as I said before, and it's necessary that they make some of their experiences on their own.
