Children
I really enjoyed the lecture on children and parenting. Although I myself am not a parent yet I hope to be one in the next couple of years. I work with children everyday at my job and so I thought that when we were talking about "telling isn't teaching" was really good. I know from experience that just because you tell a child to do something or not do something or how to do something doesn't mean they are going to listen or even learn anything. You have to be able to show them why they should do something or not do something. Explain to them what will happen if they listen and follow directions. Kids are very interesting to be around and work with because you really never know how the day is going to go!

The showing kids to do something instead of telling them something is what I realized with my son. He doesnt know the word stop for anything and usually i look like a bad parent when he runs off and i say stop and he keeps on running. I have had to show him a lot of things and then use the word with it so he will understand what i am saying. I guess its like my boyfriend talking to me in spanish. I have no clue what he is saying so i just keep on doing what i was doing. My son will learn though and Im just glad he little for now :)
