You are asked to give a classroom of ten-year-olds three relevant points of wisdom: what are they and why? Maybe how?

>

It's easy, isn't it?

#

Dream, Believe and Work.

Sorry, these are just tips that would not increase the wisdom of any child...

So according to my life experience you can not teach a 10 year old child to value his parents, you can not teach him to dream and you can not teach him to work with pleasure, I said with pleasure because you can teach any child to work and you can also force him to respect, also by nature human beings dream, then what would be the 3 keys of wisdom that I would teach a 10 year old child?

I am super graphic and literal when I answer this question, I imagine myself entering a classroom full of children and trying to give them a life lesson that I would mainly tell them to be grateful, respectful and constant.

*

But we are talking about 10 year old children, I can thank the sky and life with a relentless force but a child of that age would not have the necessary experience to make a contrast and show really grateful, I can tell a child to be respectful to himself to his peers to his parents and to life itself, but the child may wonder, Why? In my experience I have dealt with disobedient, rude and very rebellious children to whom I have had to explain these 3 key points of life, how to be grateful, to be respectful and above all to be constant in order to achieve our goals.

Then is when I remember, my mother used to tell me that the food that can not be thrown away because there were people who had nothing to eat and when she said that in my mind I said to myself - I do not care about others - showing a lack of respect for other human beings unjustified.

What would make a child of that age different from me? Well it took me many years to understand this and after going hungry many times I was thankful for having food on my table so how can I make a child understand this at an early age?

It certainly wouldn't be by telling him, "hey you should be grateful and respectful !!!! " no, quite the opposite I would personally show myself in an aggressive disrespectful and mocking way in front of 10 year olds and show undeserved authority.

-What?!

Yes, just as you read I would personally apply a more shocking method with which I would show the big difference and how useful this could be for the rest of their life.

Imagine this, walking into a primary classroom without greeting, slamming the door shut and sitting at the desk without saying good morning, the children will surely remain in total silence and that is where I would write on the board "RESPECT/FEAR" and at the same time drop the chalk or marker with which I wrote on the board and have a student pick it up for me, without saying thank you or showing a grateful attitude at any time and write on the board "THANK YOU/APPRECIATE".

#

Do you think I would be teaching the children anything?

Let's go to that, now imagine that I leave the classroom I close the door and from outside I knock for someone to open, the child who picked up the marker / chalkboard from the dream did not get up to open the door but his classmate next door, seeing the previous scene he felt a little scared by the attitude of the teacher so he went to open the door with a little fear and when he opens it is the same teacher, but this time with a very different attitude, this time with a smile and a few words of good morning while thanking the child for his kind gesture of opening the door and returns to the blackboard enclosing in a red circle the word RESPECT that had already written on the board and asks the children;

![]()

>

-How do you prefer to be treated in life, with respect or with fear?

They all raised their hands and said firmly WITH RESPECT.

To which he asks, why should I, being a teacher, give respect to you as 10 year old students.

>

Nobody answers because they do not know what to answer and the teacher explains, respect is like a life card a pass a quality that we must nurture as human beings and that will open a thousand and one doors in life, just like your classmate who opened the door a moment ago with fear instead of respect and when he opened it he found a friendly face and a few words of thanks, what a surprise, right? Well, this is how many things in life should be, we should know that many things will scare us but if we act in a respectful way we can get that grateful response back, do we understand the importance of respect? Now, why should we be grateful? How would you give me respect again if I did not know how to thank you for your respectful gesture towards me, simply my capacity of respect does not expect to be received from your gratitude I do it for you I do it for me and that is where we must apply constancy.

Do you think a 10 year old child understands this?

Personally, I am sure they would because I would be giving them the contrast, and teaching them that people act according to our actions if we are respectful we will receive the same respect if we know how to be grateful we can find reasons to respect and be respected, but not everything will always be that easy and we must learn to be constant so that we achieve objectives either to receive respect in return or to achieve a great goal in life.

These would be the 3 things I would like to teach a 10 year old child, they are useful things that are present in the daily life of each one of us, respect, gratitude and perseverance.

I put this example a little bizarre and not very subtle due to the knowledge that I have, due to the place where I live and the culture that is lived here, I hope you can understand and if you have any advice or something to refute about it I would appreciate it a lot.
