My Child Does Not Want to Do Her Homework - What Did Einstein Think of School?

-

Today'

So many parents get so bogged down in the homework issue that they forget about the most important thing of all: the relationship. Relating to your child with love and understanding is a million times more important than any particular homework assignment.


.How much homework did Einstein do?

.He did not do very well in school. So instead of homework, he was probably doodling and
daydreaming. Does your child doodle and daydream? Maybe he or she is another Einstein.

Read what Albert Einstein had to say about intuition, homework, and school. in Dr. Roland's book A Weekend with Einstein and Augustine.. You will be surprised.

Many people do not know that when Mozart was a kid, his dad took him on several long trips. His dad intuitively knew that music was important to his son. He took his little son to major music centers so that he could meet composers, perform, attend concerts and see operas. One trip, when Mozart was 7 years old lasted 3 years! He and his dad visited all the major music centers of Western Europe.

Another trip, when he was 11 years old, lasted 15 months. He got to meet Johann Christian Bach (Bach's son) in London, I think, From him Mozart learned to write Italian operas.

.If he had had to sit in a class all day and sit around doing homework every night, Mozart's music never would have happened.

Of course not everyone can or should take long trips. But parents who are legally home educating their kids are very fortunate, because they can make activities fun and relevant to their child's unique needs.

.But the point is--whether your child is in public school, private school, tutored, or home educated--you've got to be involved and you've got to be an advocate for YOUR child.

Mozart's dad looked into his heart and devoted himself to truly helping his son discover and do what what fun and in line with his son's talents, instead of pressuring him with homework every night.

As a parent you must look into your heart to know what to do, how to do it and when to do it. Look into your heart and love will teach you what to do. If you don't know what to do, then just wait until you do know.

Timing is important; and proper timing is a facet of understanding. Whatever you do: you must find the right measure of giving and withholding, of giving and receiving, of taking charge or deferring, of gentleness or firmness.

No one can teach you this: you must search out the way with attentiveness, kindness, concern (not worry), and prayer. If you really and truly want to do what is right, and honestly admit in your heart that you don't know what to do, and if--and this is the big if--you get your ego out of the way, you will be given wordless intuitive guidance. In fact, trusting in wordless intuition is the basis of faith.

Pastor Speaks Out Against Spanking and Child Abuse

"Should parents spank their kids? " Absolutely not," says Roland Trujillo, pastor, lecturer, and author of 17 books. "It is totally unnecessary."   "For 25 plus years I have advocated against spanking. What does spanking accomplish? It introduces the child to fear, to trauma, and often to rage. It turns some children into fearful conformists, and others into rebels because of their hatred of the parent who used violence on them.  Spanking is often a euphemism for something much worse. Inflicting harm on an innocent defenseless child is despicable. It is bullying--the evidence of a tyrant, a large person hurting a small person. It is evidence of lack of patience, kindness, gentleness, self control, forbearance, and wisdom. It is a massive betrayal.  Here are two things that need to be stated. Child abuse is a little known contributing factor to violence against women. The male child who is beaten, slapped, spanked, yelled at, teased, or verbally
