RE: The Most Important Lessons to Teach Our Children. #263

Hello @oluwa-tosin and @ladiesofhive community. I am not a woman but I hope I am allowed to comment here because I find this blog interesting. I enjoyed reading your content @oluwa-tosin because of your comprehensive explanation of what we should teach to children and why, from the very lens of you who was once a children. Respect, kindness, honesty, and others are few of the best human characteristics a child should have. I believe in you because the first five years of life is the most sensitive and important years of a person. This is when we build a framework from our observations to our home, sorrounding, and people near to us. And these observations will later be our outline for moving around this world. So it is very important to set up a good and healthy environment for our children in order for them to grow healthy. The child is the father of the man, that is how the saying goes. And I have had somw studies on children during my second year in college and one thing I learned that is bittersweet for me is how this framework is hard to remove in a person's life. So healthy or unhealthy, between two, an adult will always have the kind of early years he/she has. But it can be acknowledged and changed with proper support from professionals. I know this comment is too long but I'll add one thing to teach them: emotional control. They should be taught of controlling their own emotions by teaching them what are they, letting them experience it, and control them later. From this they will grow healthy, not only emotionally, but also socially. Thank you for sharing this @oluwa-tosin.
