Educate and communicate

Educate and communicate: Regina's family in Indonesia

So many times we talk about education and seek the best terms to compile them and analyze the value on subjects various methods to achieve a healthy and successful education. 

But a few times does not approach the issue of education, the importing of communicating that in my opinion should be put more a theme and analyzed to better understand how to best educate. 

In fact, today it seems difficult to communicate, because communication means get out of the self, from their safeties, and begin to compare with those around you, remaining available and open. 

In fact, the educational communication is not just an exchange of technical information, but is entering into a relationship with others that is a deep commitment, a conscious responsibility to the formation and growth of the other.

School life

School life

The task of the school is to teach what is good, to spread harmony, to explain the meaning of the values. 

We parents, educators, teachers do not have to settle for sending their children to school, but that must accompany them in their studies, and we build day by day in the awareness that kids at school are not going to win a diploma, but to prepare for life, broadening the mind and the heart and educating impartial observation of the world with particular attention to the respect, equality and tolerance.

Il compito della scuola è di insegnare che cosa è bello, di divulgare l'armonia, di spiegare il senso dei valori.

Noi genitori, educatori, insegnanti non dobbiamo accontentarci di mandare i figli a scuola, ma bisogna che li accompagniamo negli studi, e costruiamo giorno per giorno nei ragazzi la consapevolezza che a scuola si va non per conquistare un diploma, ma per prepararsi alla vita, allargando la mente e il cuore ed educando all’osservazione imparziale del mondo con un’attenzione particolare al rispetto, all’uguaglianza e alla tolleranza.

Every vocation is special

Every vocation is special

"Mom, Dad I have to talk..." are words that, spoken with a certain tone, shudder, put a little bit of anxiety and shakes the wrists. 

Moments of communication important for sons and daughters who open their hearts and their projects to the people they care... "I decided to enter the convent," "I found the right person for me and I decided to get married..." . 

Every vocation that you share becomes for the listener a moment to stop and say, "My son or daughter is growing and is able to choose...".

Dear Parents, be happy when your son or daughter choose, every choice is the result of a personal journey that should not be diminished at all, rather they must applauded and helped to carry on with serenity.

Being a parents today

Being a parent today

In a society where values ​​and cultural references are numerous and styles of behavior, relationships, consumer, have become increasingly different, sometimes even contradictory to each other, it can be difficult for new generations to find a way to build a coherent own path identity. 

And the adults that are increasingly unlikely to appeal to the traditional concept of authority, as to be able to help their children do not feel lost in the face of life's difficulties? 

I'm just saying that parents need to learn to draw the rails for balanced growth, and at the same time learn how to get involved constructing various educational scenarios that then you share with other people who like us are called to live the experience of being a parents and educator.

Educate

I leave you a few sentences that speak of the issue of education:

Educate is not what the teacher gives, but is a natural process that takes place spontaneously in the human, it is not acquired by listening to words, but by virtue of the experiences made in the environment.
The task of the teacher is not to talk, but to prepare and arrange a series of motives of cultural activity in a specially prepared environment.
(M. Montessori)
We often speak of the influence of the example, but we forget that we give an example to the children all the time and not only when we intend to do.
(S. Isaacs)
To raise a child it takes a whole village.
(Indonesian proverb)
The great wrong of educators is that young people will like what they like to old age or maturity; youth that life does not differ from mature, you want to abolish the difference of tastes and desires, that he wants the teachings, commands and the force of necessity, suppliscano experience.
(G. Leopardi)
The school should make good use of these sentences.

Educate

Realise your dreams

I'm convinced that every child entrusted to us in the school must find people who are attentive to its growth and educate him in a positive way making him understand that in life you should never lose hope, you should never stop believing and above: never stop dreaming and trying to achieve their dreams.

Realise your dreams

The smiles of children

The kindergarten children

Getting lost in the smile of a child who has nothing else to offer, you realize that's all you need!
And it is precisely that smile, and that I was given for free, that makes you say, what can I do for you?
And the school becomes a place where vital to give the right answers and grow that smile, helping him not to go out, giving him the power of knowledge.

Children are the future of the world

The children do not know the distances, if they love they do it with your heart and if they fight only lasts a few minutes, because children understand the meaning of friendship and respect him more than adults.
We make sure that everyone can have a chance to study and continue as adults to build a world that respects, loves and knows how to give.

School is important for every child
