FOOD FOR THOUGHT
PHILANTHROPY
When children misbehave they are often times discouraged and have mistaken ideas on how to achieve their primary goal- to belong. Their mistaken ideas lead them to misbehave. However, the true primary goal of all behaviour is to find a sense of belonging and significance.
Use encouragement to help children FEEL a sense of belonging so that the motivation for misbehaving will be eliminated. Belonging by sharing meaningful time, meaningful chores or other things that make them feel needed, important to the family, and teach children that mistakes are wonderful opportunities to learn.
We need to provide opportunities for children to experience responsibility in direct relationship to the privileges that they can enjoy. Otherwise, they become dependent recipients who feel the only way to achieve belonging and significance is to manipulate others into their service. The key concept is to do and act with love!
Ecclesiastes 3:7 “A time to rend, and a time to sew: A time to keep silence,
And a time to speak”
