Children's differences and the role of parents and teachers

 

Individuals differ from each other based on their tendencies and abilities. Their differences also affect their education. These effects are related to the environment. Therefore, parents and teachers should play a positive role for better education and training of children.

 

 Here are some points:

 

Attitudes, Abilities and Role of Parents .

 

Parents should play their role keeping in mind the differences in attitudes and abilities of children, they should consider the following issues:

 

Behaviour in homes

 

Parents must be aware of the mental differences of children. Otherwise, they cannot guide them. When parents know the tendencies and abilities of children, they should treat them according to their differences. Keep in mind their tendencies and abilities in living, eating, drinking, dealing, literature and manners. If a child likes to eat eggs in the house, instead of forcing him to eat other foods, he should be given the egg only, sothat he may eat to his fill. Various tasks in the house should be arranged  according to their abilities and tendencies. Otherwise they will become the victim of unadjustment in the house.

 

 

Parental Desires and Children.

 It has generally been observed that from initiation to higher education, parents choose the subjects for their children according to their own desires ignoring the children like or dislike for this reason many of children leave the schools.

 

  If they are not matched according to their tendencies and abilities, they suffer from incompatibility. Parents' opinion is usually final about the choice of subjects. They say that children have to decide which subject is better. Even if it is accepted that the child does not know how to choose the best, then their tendencies and abilities must be taken into consideration, so the interest of children in educational activities increases. If a subject is against the children's will or is difficult for them, then the children will not be interested in the subject and will quickly feel loss and boredom, so parents should find out the abilities and tendencies of the children and adapt them accordingly. Behavior and attitude should be considered. It will be better for both parents and children.

 

 

Mental differences between the teacher and the children

 

Along with the parents, the teacher must know the tendencies and abilities of the children because the teacher has to do many educational tasks for the children. The teacher should have the following role in relation to the tendencies and abilities of the children.

 

 

Selection of subjects

 

In schools, especially in class 9th and 10th, children have to choose special subjects. Usually his choice of profession depends on the choice of these subjects. Therefore, the teacher should find out the tendencies and abilities of each child through the principles of educational psychology and help and guide him in choosing subjects accordingly. If parents insist on any other subject, they should be made aware of the children's abilities.

 

 

Teaching methods

Teachers should adopt such methods to teach students. which are in accordance with the inclinations and abilities of the children. If a method is more or less than the children's abilities will be spoilt, the children will not be interested in it, which will make it difficult, if not impossible, to understand the lesson.

 

 

 Curriculum and children

The curriculum is always set by the government and there are experts who consider the abilities of the children in the preparation of the curriculum, but the teacher's job is that if the curriculum is not in accordance with the abilities of the children, then he should teach it in his own way so that the lesson can be understood by the children.

 

Co-curricular  activities

 

There are co-curricular activities for curriculum understanding and children's physical and social compatibility. These can be in the seminary and outside the seminary. In this, especially the tendency and abilities of children should be taken into consideration. For example, if a child is incapable of playing cricket due to illness or injury, then he should not be made a cricket player. Similarly, if a child is not fond of outing, if you send him for an outing, then it will be a waste of time and money, so it is the job of the teachers to choose activities according to the abilities and tendencies of the children, then the results will be better.
