My husband and I work out my production days and times. That’s when I do all of my work. Otherwise, there are things we do together. It’s important to help mold your child independently and to make sure that your child gets to practice his self-determinism. I am not preparing my child for public school, so this way works out great for us. Here are a few quotes I recently discovered along the lines of how we are helping our child by not sending him to daycare because investing our time into him FULLY is loving and helpful. Paying someone else to do their way is less valuable and impresses a lifetime of influence over him: “The world around a child is a bright, bright world. A child comes in with the idea that he is free. He has a new start, he’s got a new chance. He will make a go of it and so on. He’s got that new hope. And that child goes downhill and becomes impossible to the degree that he loses that hope.”

Another quote is this: “Safety is not really a popular subject, because it is usually accompanied by “be careful” and “go slow,” people can feel restrains are being put on them. But there is another approach: if one is really practiced, his skill and dexterity is such that he doesn’t have to “be careful” or “go slow.” Safe high speed of motion becomes possible only with practice. One’s skill and dexterity must be brought up to match the speed of the age one lives in. And that is done with practice.”

One more quote: “A civilization, to survive, must nurture the habits and abilities to study in its schools. A school is not a place where one puts children to get them out from underfoot during the day. That would be far too expensive for just that. It is not a place where one manufactures parrots. School is where one should learn to study and where children can be prepared to grips with reality, learn to handle it with competence and be readied to take over tomorrow’s world, the world where current adults will be in their later middle or old age.”

The author of these quotes is L. Ron Hubbard and these were taken from a recent course I completed called How to Achieve Self-Confidence, so I derived this information for empowering my parenthood. I am now on the next course called Successfully Raising Children.
