Parenting: Starting from the smallest things in life... Teaching Responsible Children
Recently, I went to two secondary schools in Hong Kong to give a talk. During the tea break after the talk, the teachers were very enthusiastic to talk to me about teaching issues. In particular, one of the teachers asked, "How to teach children a sense of responsibility? He said that his biggest frustration in teaching was not in the curriculum, but in the children's lack of a sense of responsibility. It is not a big deal if they do not put things back to their original places when they are finished using them, but if they see that the toilet is leaking and the faucet is not turned off, they will turn a blind eye to it as long as they did not do it. This old historian thinks that this is a serious character problem.
