“The Mother Factor”

Authors: Henry Cloud and John Townsend.

The main driver of any business is motivation. It has the magical ability to simplify tasks, reduce time and give a second wind when strength is running out. With the school in this regard, not everything is so simple, because many perceive it as a given, or even a boring duty. Therefore, the first thing to do is to change the perspective from the school as such to the opportunities that education provides. Discuss with your child why it is worth studying, seriously listening to his answers. A friendly conversation on an equal footing is a very important point, because adult arguments like a good university and a comfortable existence are simply incomprehensible to a child, and their endless repetition is not the mother of teaching at all, but of excessive tension.

Quote: “Intrusiveness means approaching without being invited. An annoying person is in a hurry to make premature contact, unwanted or not yet needed. Women of this type do not enter into a genuine relationship with the child, but under the guise of emotional contact impose their own needs, feelings and thoughts on him. In this way, they are trying to control the child, ”the authors of the book note. “The Mother Factor”.

Quote: “Respect for the child is also manifested in trust in him. To the fact that he can, cope, understand. How many times have I heard from my parents: “No, what are you, my own will not go to school! He’s so dumb, he can’t do anything on his own! To the store by yourself? What are you! He won’t be able to!” This is an absolute disrespect for the child, reducing him to the level of a domestic hamster, a creature incapable of being a person, taking care of himself, being responsible for his actions,” the author writes. #Your boy – more love, less panic.
