When teachers are also parents, it adds a whole new dimension to every experience.....
It's just sad that teachers often forget that they are / were parents too!
I think that unconsciuosly our parenting style influences our teaching style.....
so maybe a teacher needs to be more conscious of the way she talks to and handles kids.
What do you think?
"A teacher touches eternity........she can never tell where her influence stops."
This post note is something we all need to mull on...
ReplyDeletei too can relate to this ...as a teacher fresh out of college and now as a mother of two...we do get influenced by our parenting styles...
a judicious use of both parenting states is required...
sometimes the teacher state will help the child, sometimes the parenting state...understanding and knowing this really helps while working with kids...
i can only say that my own children are constantly teaching me respect, honesty, integrity and unconditional love
