Ten commandments for parents from a famous Jewish teacher

These commandments for parents published site detki.co.il. Very important tips were written by teacher Janusz Korczak.

Janusz Korczak is a Polish Jew. He was not only a famous teacher, but also a doctor, writer, and public figure.

The whole life of Janusz was aimed at raising and protecting children: in hospitals, orphanages, in schools. During the Second World War, he fell with the Jewish children in the ghetto, where he tried his best to alleviate their fate. They even tried to save him, but he could not step over his principles and beliefs and could not leave 200 Jewish children alone. In August 1942, Janusz Korczak died with them in a gas chamber.

10 commandments of Janusz Korczak

1. Don't expect your child to be like you or like you want. Help him to become not you, but yourself.

2. Do not demand payment from your child for everything you have done for him. You gave him life, how can he thank you? He will give life to another, and he will give life to a third, and this is an irreversible law of gratitude.

3. Do not take out your offenses on a child, so that in your old age you do not eat bitter bread. For whatever you sow, that will rise.

4. Don't look down on his problems. Life is given to everyone according to their strength, and rest assured that it is no less difficult for him than for you, and perhaps more so, since he has no experience.

5. Do not humiliate!

6. Don’t forget that a person’s most important meetings are with his children. Pay more attention to them - we can never know who we meet in a child.

7. Do not torture yourself if you can not do something for your child, just remember: not enough has been done for the child, if everything possible has not been done.

8. A child is not a tyrant who takes over your entire life, not just a fruit of flesh and blood. This is the precious cup that life has given you to store and develop creative fire within. This is the liberated love of a mother and father, who will grow not “our”, “their” child, but a soul given for safekeeping.

9. Never do to others what you would not like to do to yours.

10. Love your child in any way - untalented, unlucky, adult. When communicating with him, rejoice, because a child is a holiday that is still with you.
