After watching a movie called Wrong Step, one sentence the main actor who is a teacher by the way, said to one of his students (who was a trouble maker) father “I have to shape your son while we still have a chance“. What he ment by that is that kids need to have proper behavior, education and all that it comes with raising kids so they have a easier life later on. Kids start learning at early age. Once they deviate early from their normal living and communication with parents it gets very hard later on.

Also working parents tend to forget that kids need to be with their friends, kids their age. They learn from each other. The best is if you can send kids to kinder garden that has multiple programs; sport, learning other languages etc...

I was amazed when one of my kids came home one day and started saying words in german. They have a program that lasts about one hour each day where they learn words from different languages. I really liked that. Kids should learn to be independent as soon as they can. This comes with age of course but sooner they learn it, it will be easier for both kids and parents. This will come handy later in life as they already know that they do not depend on someone.

There is one thing I don't like hearing is that parent try to push kids to educate themselves in the same profession as their parents. Kids in their early age develope a sense of what they want to do and want to be. We as parents may guide them, but not stop them from achivig a goal they put afront themselves. This is very important junction in their life. They need a support of their belowed even though we think something else is better for them, however it is like a hobby. What we like, that is what we do. Simple as that.
