For parents, the child's education is the most important thing.
Parents attach the greatest importance to their child's education. When he comes home from school, they usually ask: "What did you learn? What was in the lessons? What are you doing?” They are much less interested in it, what happened during the breaks, what the child talked about with friends, in what, how and with whom he played. And these are matters no less important than science. You can learn from these conversations, what is the relationship of our child to friends and vice versa, whether it stays behind, away from his peers, or willing to play together, Is it accepted by the environment?, What roles does he play most often?, or only marginal, or more significant, whether it is the initiator of games organized by the group. Do these joint games run in harmony?, or whether disputes arise during them and what they are about and what they are caused by, etc.
For various school events we, parents, we have to respond. Express your opinion about them, your opinion. Our child should know, How do we evaluate Leszek's behavior?, who doesn't want to lend an eraser to anyone, pencil or crayons, although he always has them in his pencil case. And what do we think about Irenka's behavior, who brings a great one to school every few days, foreign toy, that no one else in the class has, and boasts, that it is daddy who brings her such splendor from distant travels. Or Tereska, which to your question, how children help their parents, she replied, that she doesn't need to help at all, because they have a housekeeper to work at home.
It is worth talking to your child about all these important matters. Such problems are perfectly solved during a joint walk, while cleaning the apartment, threading bed linen, preparing dinner, washing dishes.
Such conversations have an impact on the attitudes of our children. Sometimes you can change your attitude faster, views or opinions of the child, when expressing disapproval of a friend's behavior, or a friend, will come out and show (but without malice, mockery or mockery) their mistakes, than then, when we criticize the conduct of the person concerned.
