Education can be broadly divided into three categories.
...The first is what we might call life education or spiritual education.
"What am I living for?"
This education aims to enable children to answer this question.
...The second is social education or common sense education.
Without understanding these things, one will be ostracized in various situations and will have to endure many sad and painful experiences.
...And thirdly, there is intellectual education.
One of the problems with current education is said to be the overemphasis on intellectual education...🤔.
...It is necessary to "teach children the right path to take" as they grow into adults.
...When examining children who exhibit problematic behavior, it seems that they are often weak at training.
...For example, emotional control. Once they start getting angry, they can't stop. They can only act according to their own emotions.
This is because they haven't received training to control their emotions.
Or, control of desires. They've never been taught patience, so when they want something, they get it without thinking about the consequences...
...Or perhaps they haven't been taught the difference between right and wrong.
We need to properly teach them about these things.
...More than ever, irresponsible parents are being held accountable.
...I think it's time for us to clearly show our children the right path.
...I would be grateful if you would remember the children at the children's cafe and pray for them!
Shalom.
