Being n Teaching being Positive...

  • I am totally believing in Thinking Positive, Believing In the Positives, n Being Positive will Bring Positive into My Life... I see some coaches, teachers n parents teaching some children that they are great(n yes they are) that they can do great things(again that is great n true) n telling kids they can do what ever they want like be a pro-sportsman, actor/actress, or even President(yes teach them to have a goal, aim n reach for great things), these are great things to teach children!!! Teaching children that they can do great is so wonderful (YAY) but I worry about the children that are not allowed to be a child 1st, being pushed into performing as a professional sportsman n not allowed to really enjoy what they are doing, n children being taught winning at all costs... A child needs to have fun, make friends n care about their fellow friends (other children) n be loved if they lose or win n cheered on when they care for others... A child should not be screamed at for failing, making a mistake or crying because that is when that child needs their coach, teacher n parent to lift them up not to say oh poor baby but hey take a break drink some water take a few deep breaths then try it again... There is a line one side the children are pushed too hard n not allowing them to be a child which is Very Bad!!! The other side of the line that a child is not encouraged to do great or even babied so child become shy of trying to do great things(I know this side well when things got too hard my father said no prob I didn't have to try again leading me into a mind set to give up when things didn't go they way I wanted them to do) n I seethe other side parents n coaches blowing up because a kid didn't do as good as they wanted the child to do... A child needs to stay a child for the time they are a child n parents, coaches n teachers that don't allow a child to be a child n yell at them because the the child didn't do as good as they wanted the child to do is being very unfair to the child n yelling at child for not being a superstar in a sport, dancing, cheering n etc is very upsetting the adult should placed in a time out in a box listening to screaming animals for an hour for every minute they yelled at the child... I totally believe teaching being positive, teach to reach n believe for success, aim high, dream, plan for success, have fun, teach kindness n fairness, teach to love others n it is good to work as a team but a child has to be allowed to be a child n as we need to have fun children really need to have fun as they grow up... We can lose n be happy at same time, if we did our best n we had fun doing it hen we should be happy n teach that to the children as well... Also if we are the winner we should be thankful to the others that we competed with without them there would have not been an event to compete in or had event to have fun with... Competing events should be fun for everyone involved win, lose or draw... Guess my thing is not liking anyone thinking n teaching a person is better than someone else, yes many have skills that they are better at than others but we all have things we can do better than others n just because someone can do a sport better then another doesn't make them a better person, was Babe Ruth better than Robin Williams??? No!!! Was Robin Williams better than Babe Ruth??? Again No... Ok, let children be children... Let them dream n discover their own dreams... Be there to support n guide them but don't shove/whip them into losing their childhood... Be a positive in their goals n their life... Also; Just because we are grown up doesn't mean we can't dream n reach higher so, Dream Again, Reach for Dream n Believe in That Dream!!! Believe in Your Dreams n a Child's Dream... Be Positive in life, dream n goals - yours n the child's!!! Ok, Some might think You are nuts well maybe but I am hoping to teach in dreaming again, let children be children n teach being positive n fairness n of course to love our fellow humans at all costs!!! Written by an imperfect human but a caring human n sharing with U; HUGs!!! Giovano 'Koala' Fusco Jr. - 2/25/2016
