Picture the newly wed couple in their lovely home. A home that is well decorated. The Lady of the Manor loves her knick knacks. She has on display every souvenir and ornament she has ever collected on her trips around the world. Including all the mementos of affection from her new husband. Her precious Lalique sculpture she saved 5years for, takes pride of place in her collection.
Time passes, she conceives and 9 months down the road baby is born, baby starts to crawl, baby starts to hold on to things to walk....guess what is first to be put away from view....the knick knacks! And then the couple start to childproof their home. Lets face it our homes change once there is a new addition to the family. I remember an older cousin scolding me for not packing up all my lovely figurines once baby came.
However, I believe it is possible to teach your kids to respect the décor and the furnishings in the home. Let them know that the only play things they have are their toys. When you tidy up, clean or do chores encourage the kids to do them along with you...praise them lavishly and they will always want to help.
Having a child does not have to mean automatically packing away all your lovely ornaments. Especially if looking at them brings you so much joy.You can have them on display in the home with your kids in it.

Keep up the good work, Most people run after a higher pay, better perk or bigger promotion. You are courageous enough to run after your dream and passion. We all want our kids to grow up to be well rounded adults and what better way than to teach them good etiquette
ReplyDeleteVery important to teach kids respect for others' belongings as well as their own!
