Teaching and Learning Responsibility
“Teaching a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” It sounds good in theory. But is it realistic to make your kids “work”? They are supposed to study or play or do something other than “work”. Parents “work” for the future of their kids, right? But that’s exactly why kids should do a little work --- to learn responsibility. It's good for their futures.
They should know how to do things like: clean up after themselves by putting their toys and books away. Perhaps they should even throw out the trash / separate the stuff for recycling / help for the laundry / dust the house /clean the floor. If they are older, they can set the table or wash the dishes. (Actually, in my house, washing the dishes is my job). Those are just some ideas of things that kids can do.
Sure, one of the first things that may come to mind is “Cinderella”, but it’s not like they are doing this all day long. They may do their “chore” once a day or even once a week. But it’s THEIR job. Not Mom's. When we talk about young kids and education, most agree that it should be fun, or the kids will get sick of it.
When we clean our house, we sometimes turn on music. We often all clean together. For example, when it's time to clean the floor, we might get two damp rags each and skate around the room. We also clean the car together. When we all clean together, we give each other energy. But doing some things alone to learn a sense of responsibility is crucial. Having a kid who is always dependent makes life hard for a parent.
Talk about it.
Is it cool to make kids to chores? Do your kids have any house chores? What are some common house chores? What can children learn from doing chores? How can you make chores more fun? How often should children do chores? What kinds of work shouldn’t kids do around the house? What do you think of children who don’t do chores? What chores did you do when you were younger? How did you feel about doing house chores?
—Power Walk—Getting more exercise
I’ve been thinking and talking and writing about how I need to get some exercise. But I haven’t done much about it. So, the other day, after a radio show, I went for a walk. I walked a little faster than normal, so it could be considered a power walk. But I didn’t walk too fast. That way I could enjoy the walk and not feel I was exercising. There were a lot of nice flowers out and the green plants all waved at me as I passed by. Walking is not only a great exercise but it also gives me a chance to go outside. Sometimes I feel I spend all my time indoors. Taking a walk outside helps me get away from everything. I can forget my work , or my problems at least for a while. And I also get a chance to appreciate nature. There weren’t many people out walking, so I pretty much have the path to myself. Back home and when you go for a walk, you other people who are walking. You may say “Hi!” or “Nice day for a wak!” or just simply nod and smile as you pass them. It was a bit onely yesterday, but it was ncie to get out and get the blood plumping. You should try it. I highly recommend it. Who knows? We might even meet.
Talk about it:
Do you ever go out for walks?
Where do you go for walking?
Who do you usually walk with?
Do you walk quickly or slowly?
Do you ever talk to other people that are walking?
What do you say to them?
Do you enjoy the scenerey when you walk?
Do you walk for exercise or another reason?
How long do you usually walk for?
How does walking make you feel?
Being there,Done that
Have you ever heard the expression "being there done that"?You say it to a friend when you want to let that person know that you've already experienced often say when want to emphasize that experience wasn't so good,and you don't really want it again.
For example,your friend might say:"Hi, Issac, have you ever gone fishing on a boat on the ocean?", I would then reply,"Being there done that".I would explain that I have gone fishing on the ocean, and that I got really seasick. it's not something that I want to do it again any time soon.
Do you have any being there done that experiences?
Maybe a job interview, it's really intense.
A long road trip with your family, while you get stuck in traffic.
Or getting bitten by a lot of mosquitos, when you are on a camping trip.
These are somethings that I had before, I would not ever like to have again.
I have been there and done that.
Talk about it:
1)Have you been in the position that you don't want to be in it again any time soon?
2)Do you know any similar experiences to being there done that?
3)Can you think the time when you could use that expression?
4)what's your experience that you would not like to have it again?
5)what's the experience that you could do over and over, and never get tired ?
