Children who are excessively spoiled by their parents may develop a dependent and lacking in independence personality. Gradually, the child grows up without learning responsibility towards their family and society. Therefore, smart parents need to know when to be “lazy” so that their children can learn how to mature.
Education experts say that the following three types of parents may seem lazy, but in fact, they raise their children very well. After growing up, their children usually have a brighter future.
Lazy parents wake their children up in the morning
Many parents complain about having to wake their children up every morning. Even if parents call their children many times, the child acts like they can’t hear and continues to sleep as usual. Meanwhile, parents are anxious about their child being late for school. Even after waking up and getting out of bed, the child is still sluggish and slow in brushing their teeth, washing their face, changing clothes, and having breakfast.
So what if one day parents don’t wake their children up? Parents should not always call their children too much, but rather be lazy. Instead of calling their child, give them an alarm clock to set their own time. If the alarm clock rings and the child still doesn’t wake up, parents should not quickly enter the room and call their child. Being late for school once and being punished by their teachers will be a memorable lesson.
The next time the alarm goes off, the child will not dare to hit the snooze button anymore. In fact, allowing the child to set their own alarm clock will help them strengthen their awareness of time, develop independence and self-discipline.
Lazy parents do homework with their children
To help their children achieve good academic results, many parents often assist their children with homework. Instead of guiding their child to review their knowledge, parents do the homework for them. Especially with craft exercises, parents often become the ones completing the tasks.
In reality, even when parents sit and supervise their children’s homework, it creates a sense of pressure for the child. It makes the child feel “I’m studying because of my parents” and have a negative attitude, frustration, and lack of motivation to study.
On the other hand, lazy parents doing homework with their children will make them realize that studying is for themselves and for their own sake. These children will gradually become more active, proactive in their studies, and develop self-motivation, resulting in better academic performance.
Therefore, parents need to supervise their children’s studies properly, and occasionally be lazy, which is not a bad thing.
Lazy parents do not wash clothes for their children
Many children nowadays, even in their adolescence, have never washed their own clothes. Some boarding students bring their clothes home to their parents to wash every weekend. The child has no idea how to take care of themselves, and tends to not appreciate the hard work of their parents and becomes dependent.
If parents love their children, instead of doing everything for them, they should instill in them the habit of doing personal chores like washing clothes. Parents should not interfere with what their children can do for themselves. Only then, will children live independently and appreciate the effort of their parents.
