The sounds of silence

The Sounds of Silence

In the naked light I saw ten-thousand people maybe more. People talking without speaking. People hearing without listening. People writing songs that voices never share. No one dare, disturb the sounds of silence.

There should in fact be an interaction between parents and children where by both sides are heard. Interaction --- Reciprocal action or influence.

From conception your childs life has already begun to mode as to how he will look, if he will be short or fat, tall or skinny, blond or brunette. But this cannot determine the way your child behaves. It has been said many times that heredity deals the cards but environment plays the game! Although you can't determine what your child will look like, you can at least help him grow into a responsible well-adjusted adult.

At birth a child is abruptly separated from the all satisfying warmth and protection of his mother's womb. A child is confused and bewildered at what is happening. It is the parents duty to make their child's life easily accepted. A baby should be held close to his mother to feel that safety and warmth he once felt in the womb.

The parents should guide the child as to how he should act. Your child's eventual personality results from the interplay between his native endowment and environmental influences, and by the exertion of his own will. A child needs examples more than anything. A young child almost copies every thing he sees some one else doing. A parent has to know that the examples they give their children are more important than words.

It is also very important that children know to obey their parents, with out obedience a parent cannot expect a lot of respect. Later when I am talking of punishments I will show the importance of obedience. Since the child is with their parents the majority of their growing and adapting time the child must learn respect and rules which he must go by. In preschool years your child learns to conform to certain rules, otherwise he will be punished by either loss of love or spanking. Then in Nursery school your child learns certain rules of conduct which apply to everyone.

He takes his first step in social conformity, lessons he learns with individuals may influence his relations with persons throughout his whole life. It may not be too far-fected to say that the executive of a large corporation whose success is getting along with people, learned to do it on a sand pile.

Parents have to remember that each child is an individual and they have to look upon each child as distinct persons and consider the age, sex, and temperament of each. If your child is moody and shy he needs his parents encouragement and confidence. If your child were an over-active, fun-loving child he may need frequent correction ad discipline. A domineering child needs lessons in humility and meekness. An easy-going child needs frequent prods to take life seriously.

A child should have a say so about things after he has an opinion about things. A need which emerges into the foreground when a child approaches his fourth year is the need for autonomy, the right of self-government. Your child may now want to pick his own clothes to wear. He may want to choose his own toys to play with, and I think this is a good thing for a young child to learn. As your child matures, his ability to express himself continually increases. He may now become more aware of the world, the people in it, and the role that conversation plays.
