Common Sense

When trying to understand why something is, we must remember that there was a beginning to it.

When it comes to teaching children, parents want to think kids understand everything we tell them. They do not. At times, parents need to understand that to teach children properly, we must teach them how and why things developed from the beginning. I am not talking about the beginning of time.

An example: Your child does not do their homework. It would be beneficial to them to understand that they may not have been taught proper discipline and why homework is important. Once they understand the foundation of the issue, deeper issues such as their desire to do the homework can be addressed.

The interesting thing I have noticed is once people truly understand why things are, they are able to make better decisions.

This concept is not only for children. The challenge for adults is that we do not have someone to guide us.
