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.
