Recommended: The importance of listening to children to support their early learning

I am also the president of my church's Sunshine Band which is a subset of the youth department geared toward children who are two to twelve years of age. As the Sunshine Band president, I try to relate to the children so that I can effectively minister to them. In efforts to relate, I seek first to understand them before attempting to have them understand me. Similar to adults, children wish to be respected. By taking the time to genuinely listen to their concerns, I have successfully presided over the ministry for ten years. Moreover, the children have the utmost respect for me as their leader. Think Win-Win The respect that the Sunshine Band members have for me can also be attributed to the fact that I think win-win. I truly care about the

  • Children’s Predetermined Role: Small Adults in a Parent’s Narrative

    ...rld, parents need to provide them with structure, discipline, and emotional support. The word, “child” shouldn’t be interchangeable with “small adult”. Treating them this way can leave someone insecure, lost, and unprepared for life, as I frequently feel. People are becoming more and more likely to write children into their narratives as these self-governing characters who know what’s best for themselves, but however convenient and valuable that may seem, that is never the role they were intended to play.

  • How Children Are Treated By Children

    1124 Words  | 3 Pages

    They have to maintain a reputation and if something were to happen to their status, things begin to fall apart. Adults are focused on themselves for this reason, and they don’t give enough time and attention to the children around them. Belyaev from “A Trifle from Life” never pays any attention to his girlfriend’s son Alyosha, and he does not have any respect for the child either. Belyaev snitches on Alyosha, and when Alyosha tries to question why he would do such a thing, “Belyaev dismissed him with a wave of his hand, and went on walking up and down” (Chekhov 21). Alyosha is hurt, betrayed and crying, but “[Belyaev] was absorbed in his grievance and was oblivious to the boy’s presence, as he always had been” (Chekhov 21). Belyaev believes he is better than the child, and because he is so caught up in himself, “he, a grown up, serious person had no thought to spare for boys” (Chekhov 21). The only person who sees how Belyaev treats Alyosha is Alyosha himself and he cannot do anything about it. Adults do not hear or pay attention to young children, but the children notices and are emotionally impacted from the treatment they receive. In time, children grow to be just like the adults and trust becomes weak, communication becomes poor, and people’s attitudes chance for the

  • To Kill a Mockingbird: A Lesson on Parenting

    612 Words  | 2 Pages

    “No!” The child screamed. This one word comes out of the mouthes of young children all the time in contemporary society and it is directed towards their parents. When parents ask their children to do something, this is a common response. It is a usual response from children who think they have a right to challenge their parents’ authority. Children in the 1930s generally acted very differently towards their parents. A high degree of respect was expected from children by their elders. In modern society, this expected degree of respect has declined. Many theories exist to try to explain why the respect children give their parents is plummeting. This disrespect from children displays a great deterioration in civility in modern society. Since many children’s respect for authority appears to have declined in contemporary America, the responsibilities of parenting must become a priority to reinstate civility.

    I think that one of the greatest things that I can do for my kids is to take them seriously and listen to them. My five year old is constantly showing me everything that he learns and it’s very easy to tune him out sometimes, but I think its very important not to. It is important to listen because if you don’t give your kids enough attention they might try and seek it in a negative way. It is important to listen to your children when they have learned something new or want to tell you something that they are proud of. Children seek your approval, and that gives them confidence.

    Childhood and adulthood are alike in many ways. Growing, deciding, and learning take place throughout both stages. They differ, however, through honesty. Children are taught to always tell the truth and are punished for lying. Ironically, adults raise kids with a slanted truth. Some simply tell kids Santa is real to keep a child’s imagination. Others make up random explanations when toddlers asks “why” certain things happen. But some parents tell a clouded version of the truth to protect their kids from the world’s harsh endurances.
