Essay on Lessons from Kids for the Parents

        If we see a naught kid outside, the first thing that across our mind would be, “What have the parents taught them?” The same thing also happen if we see a smart kid, then we will wonder how the parents teach the kid to be smart. But how many of us will think the opposite idea? Do we ever think what lessons that the kids have taught to the parents? Well we might difficult to get the answer for this question since kids will likely introvert and not brave to speak up about what they want to their parents. A research has studied about the feelings of kids for the parents along with their unspoken words. Now let’s detail what the kids said and make as the lessons to learn for the parents.

“They should not always be on the younger’s side, be fair.”

        Most of time, parents always be on the younger’s side for each conflicts. The reason might be that the parents think that the older one is enough mature to understand and have to give up for their younger siblings. Well, this is definitely one thing that the parents should change. Be fair in make decisions to solve the conflict between your kids, give them the responsibility which equal with their ability.

“With make us standing on the wall as the punishment will only make us to think on how to get revenge!”

        Well, it is true. Giving the wrong punishment on your kids will not teach them anything, instead, it will make them figure out on how to get revenge. Make the suitable punishment based on their mistake and also their capability level to understand the purpose of the punishment.

“Do not remind everything in every minutes.”

        The common words like, “Do not forget to brush your teeth, do not forget to wash your face,” will make your kids get bore and worst, they will think to ignore it.

“Spend times with us.”

        This came as the choir which expressed by the entire kids in their own words. Parents, this is the wish from your kids. Take a look back on what you have done and remember the hours that you spent for your own works or activities rather than with your kids. If you love your kids, switched off your cell phone, TV, laptop, or computer. Give them the portion time that they deserved from you.

            To be a parent indeed, is not as simple as we think it is. It needs patience, responsibility, and eager to learn to be a better one. But the most important thing from those is that, how you make your time. One quote I have read for this, “No one is really busy in this world. It is more about you want to make time or not.” Parents, listen to your kids, make them happy as I know that is what all parents want, to see their kids happy.
