Keep Children Meaningfully Occupied



          work is wrapped up in patient listening – in gentle persuasion –
          in loving affection and constant empathising with your child
          and putting yourself in his place. It is magnificent to be a
          mother, to be totally wrapped up in an assignment and a task
          to be involved in GOD’s creation. Bringing the children into the
          world is fairly easy, but turning them into useful and good hu-
          man beings, for this purpose the parents need GOD’s help, a
          degree of culture and self-education.



                      Keep Children Meaningfully Occupied


          This is very important for the development of the little ones
          and mainly the older ones, according to their abilities. Some-
          times mother or father must be instantly creative to spend the
          leisure time in a meaningful way. The child should not be
          bored, otherwise he will jump at the TV, smartphone, tablet,
          PC, etc., where he will usually only be exposed to a constant
          stream of entertainment. His abilities should be supported
          from an early age.

          Examples: With      games     and
                       creative craft – ani-
                       mals (a farm offers
                       an ideal change) –
                       making     music    –
                       painting – drawing
                       – also chores which
                       the child regularly
                       and    painstakingly
                       attends to – all kinds
                       of sports.

          It would be ideal if at least one
          parent    could   come     along.
