Work of patience


Patient work of education has been likened to the work of the farmer. The farmer prepares the ground, throw the seed to the furrow; should be aware of the sun, rain, must start, patiently, weeds, plants free of pests, expect the seedling grows slowly, that the first off. We also have compared the work of the educator with the sculptor's art. A stroke of the chisel, the artist is taking the report piece of a beautiful marble statue.

The great educator Don Bosco gave great importance to what he called the "assistance" in the uducacion: being always next to the learner. This is not a detective surveillance negating the personality of the boy, who feels heavy, which causes the young to rebel against authority. According to Don Bosco, care should be like the angel that invisibly, is always on the side of his protege. Parents should always be next to their children as the angel, invisibly. Parents should be aware of the company of their children, their readings, their shows, their games. This involves a lot of sacrifice and parents will have to give up many things to be with their children. This is the "high price" to be paid to educating children. Many parents refuse to pay the share of "sacrifice" required of them. One day they will regret not having given their children the best of their lives.

The teenager, the young are immature in itself, can not expect them to act with total correction. The important thing is "the method" used to help them "grow up" in full. Some parents make a show of "bullying" cries believe that they will educate their children. In the "preventive system" of Don Bosco, is given great importance to the right, to the heart. Don Bosco insisted on winning the heart of the boy, in the heart. Only then can convince him. Because education is not a matter of "military discipline", but to shape hearts with love and conviction. Here another great challenge for parents. This kind of education requires parents priority over their children's education to their business, their pleasures. In these times, so conflicting, parents are willing to risk everything on for the education of their children? According to what I see around me, I think a vast majority of parents have decided to pay such a high price.

One thing very easy to check. The child approaches his father for an answer his endless questions, about fixing a toy, the pope is embedded in the television, or in the newspaper's sports datasheets. The child is properly rejected as irrelevant. The child then gets used to not being able to talk to his father. Years go by. That child becomes a teenager, young man. The father would have so much to say. The boy also wanted to unburden himself to his father, with his mother, but between them has not grown the dialogue, the connection is cut for a long time. What is said of the pope could also be said of the breast, although on a smaller scale. Parents are way too many chores toiling. They forget that above all must have the time to the education of the child.

When a teenager, a young man decided to speak, to voice their anxieties, doubts, troubles, would have to say that they are conducting a feat. If after making unprecedented efforts to open his heart to his father or his mother, they find that the pope will be told that another day has no time, if the breast are so busy that it does not listen, the adolescent, the young choose to remain silent. From there comes the terrible silence of young people who can not communicate with their own potatoes. They note with sadness that his father has enough time to talk with their friends, their customers, that his mother is stuck on the phone to talk at length with the neighbor about the latest gossip, but do not have time for him, for desconsertante conflicts of adolescence and youth.

A true work of patience that requires the power to raise children these days, time seems to be away from their parents to listen to the children with their problems of daily living, for more detail about this article please visit the link to more information and see the rest of this article.
