The 4 stages of early childhood education according to Tibetan wisdom

It is known that the culture of Tibet (a region now belonging to China and one of the cradles of Buddhism) is distinguished from Western culture by its patience, wisdom and unique vision in all spheres of human life.

This applies to many aspects of life, including raising children. Thus, there is a ‘Tibetan vision’ that aims to form an independent and self-reliant person, so that he is able to make correct decisions and treat his parents with respect.

O awesome.club presents the 4 important phases in the education of children and young people according to Tibetan wisdom.

According to the Tibetan education system, during this period the child must be treated “like a king”. You cannot forbid anything, let alone punish her.

At this stage, the child is curious, active, wants to learn and explore the world. But he still doesn’t know how to take advantage of his experience and use logical reasoning. Therefore, if she does something wrong or dangerous, you must switch her attention to something else. Emotions are a language that children understand well in this period.

If you overprotect your child and forbid him to do many things at this stage, it may end up disrupting his vital activity and giving him the idea that he should simply obey without thinking.

During this period, it is advisable to treat the child “as a slave”, but, of course, without cruelty. At this stage, the intellect and logical thinking develop very actively and the foundation of your future personality is laid.

It is important to give the child several tasks, to control how they are carried out and to teach him to prepare for the consequences derived from his non-compliance. Thus, the child must learn to be responsible for his actions, focus on positive things and avoid negative ones. At this time, she absorbs knowledge faster than ever.

If you continue to treat the child “like a king” during this period, he may grow up childish, unable to respond to his actions and unprepared for the job market.

During this period, it is important to treat the child “as an equal”🇧🇷 You know that you have more experience and knowledge of life, but it is essential that she discover your philosophy of life and be able to show the strength of her opinion.

Help her with this: ask, ask for her opinion and encourage her independence. It is important to advise, and not give orders or prohibit, because in this phase their independence of thought and action develops.

If you forbid everything, your relationship will only get worse, and the child, already almost a teenager, can get into a dangerous situation. And if, on the contrary, you overprotect her, she will become insecure and will always depend on the opinion of others.

At this time, the personality of the young man has already formed. Now it’s important to treat him with respect and give you advice, but not to educate. And you will reap the rewards of your attitudes, as you will see that your child has become a self-sufficient, valuable and respectful person in relation to himself, his parents and everyone around him.
