The Responsibilities of Parents and Educators

January 20, 2025

We all want to make our children happy. We all wish them only the best. But sometimes it happens that we start confusing concepts and mixing our own priorities into other people's lives. The task of parents and educators (as banal as it may sound) is to teach children to learn. To teach them to seek the necessary information and distinguish truth from falsehood. To teach them to navigate obstacles with the least losses, both physical and moral. Understand, to teach, not to do everything for them: not to provide solutions in a ready-made form; not to procure the possible and impossible; not to exhaust oneself for the sake of it; not to spoil, but to love. Sometimes it's easier to do it yourself, and giving the maximum is a pleasure. But... The more we give to children, the less they can and want.
