Maslow had these concepts on child raising and i have thought them over and generally find them very positive instructions for guiding our children. I understand that not everything is for everyone, but i wondered if anyone else found these ideas helpful?

Teaching Methods
Maslow had comments on teaching children which included:
  • Be authentic.
  • Transcend their cultural conditioning and become world citizens.
  • Find their vocation and right mate.
  • Know that life is precious.
  • Be good and joyous in all kinds of situations.
  • Learn from their inner nature.
  • See that basic needs are satisfied.
  • Refresh their consciousness; appreciate beauty and other good things in life.
  • Understand that controls are good, and complete abandon is bad.
  • Transcend trifling problems
  • Grapple with serious problems such as injustice, pain suffering and death
  • Be good choosers
  • Be given practice in making choices, later allowing choices in their religious beliefs.
