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.
