I love this question! You see I’ve always had an attraction to kids, children see and notice everything. You think they don’t know what you’re doing because you’ve placed technology in their face, while you’re doing whatever, and then wonder why your child is acting out. A strict parent creates a sneaky child, there should be boundaries to a certain limit, I’ve experienced hands-on, and learned lessons of my own. I’ve grown from my lessons and became a teacher. With that being said, let’s get a little deeper into this.
Understanding a child in all aspects is the key to helping them learn, grow, and help others. In order to teach them you have to understand what they like to learn through, what they have been through, and how to communicate with them, those are just the smallest things. I’ve learned this as a preschool teacher, and that’s how I was able to get my children all on the same page. When it’s time to have fun, let’s have fun, but when you’ve done something bad, let’s handle it properly. I used to sit, and talk to each and every one of my children about what we should, and should not do. It then got to a point where they became so well-behaved, that they were able to handle things on their own, the earlier, the better. When they knew they had done something unacceptable to a friend, or me, they had the proper manners to apologize, explain why they apologized, and proceed forward. I never had to chase a kid in my classroom, and if I did, it was one of two things. They were either brand new to the class, or the proper home-school relationship wasn’t kept. As we all normally suggest, whatever is done to situate the child, and make them comfortable in school should be reciprocated at home, that way it makes it easier for the parents and the child. As a parent, you expect that you’re child learns in school, you want to see fine and gross motor skills, but to see a behavioral transition from bad to good is an amazing feeling. I think parents don’t realize how hard it is to get a child to coincide with the classroom, and neither do some of these schools with the payment amount to the teachers.
What made me create as a teacher were many factors. I was a single teacher, or as I called myself, a single mom to thirteen 2 & 1/2-year-old children. I instantly had to take accountability and self-awareness. I had to make sure I learned everything about each child right down to their favorite color, and that they were comfortable with me. I even gave each child a nickname of their own that stuck with them as they grew, which comforted them the most. During nap time, it was like how it would be being home with family, I sang lullabies and tucked them in. At this age, I had them already learning to make their beds, and taking off their sheets, we had a routine schedule. Seeing those bright smiles each morning and hearing “Ms.Jessica!”, brought me so much joy, and knowing the parents felt the same was even more comforting.
