Why do I call them home works? Because those are the work we cannot miss out! We have to do them.....
Household chores are also categorized as homework because no matter how busy we be, we still need to attend to the washing and laundry.... Our kids are the same, today we don't teach, the next day we still need to tell them... First hand Guidance and knowledge is best.... Monkey see, monkey do...

I recently created another blog on 'home education' and I strongly recommend it to all friends.... just click on http://homeeducation.blogspot.com
Education starts even before we were born. Just being a few months old, we have been learning inside our mother's womb. And it will continue till the last breathe leave us. The important part of educating is rather on how to be a quality person than that to be a highly educated person.
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. We at an early stage are exposed to influences, good or bad, useful or useless, meaningful or meaningless and it is up to us to reproduce and use them in our own part. To become another great, positive, quality person as expected to be...

The world is a great teacher... learn from it..
The world is a great teacher, a constant guide and source of inspiration.
That is the reason why man is placed in the world.
Every bird, every animal, every tree, mountain and star and each tiny worm has a lesson for man, if he has but the thirst to learn.
These make a world a veritable University for man; it is but a school for spiritual learningwhere he is a pupil from birth to death.

Education must inculcate values of caring and sharing...
Education that does not
inculcate values of caring and sharing
is not fit to be called education.
Education should not be
educated to produce foolish man
who even know not of his true self.
Education should not
produce mean-minded people
who are not willing to give up his wicked qualities.
But sad to say,
Modern education
leads only to argumentation,
not total wisdom.

Ask yourself...
"What is the use of acquiring worldly education if it cannot lead you to immortality?"
Acquire the knowledge that will make you immortal. There are a large number of people who are in much poorer circumstances than you. You must strive to ameliorate their condition as much as you can. When you help others, that itself is your reward. One earn merit by helping others and not hurting them.

Bind the family with duty and love....
What is the most obvious sign of a truly educated man? It is the control he observes over his own behavior - it is the ultimate discipline of silence he follows, before he indulges in any rash action. Such kind of learning will never fail him and will stay with him until the very end. But such kind of education is rare, today - and even if it is found, it is not understood by the narrow and small minds of man. It is even ridiculed and considered to be backward, unintelligent and unambitious.
The child of the new age stands with little security and poor guidance from a very tender age. It is unfortunate, that in this age, even the mother looks for work outside her home. She does not comprehend the importance of her task at home, nor does she find the discipline and fulfillment in her duty. Yes! If her arms do not give the warmth to her child, if her bosom cannot bear the sobs of her little one, then tell Me, will the child not obviously seek solace in wrong doings and bad habits, only to attract her lost attention. Know that no money can weigh her sacrifice. The love of a mother is nothing smaller than a miracle, and it is only when a child experiences a mother's selflessness that he can even compare her to the highest form of love - God!
He knows that there must be a God, for He gave him the divine gift - "a mother"! Yes! The work of a mother is hard - that is why she takes the highest place in each one's life. It is her duty to follow her husband and lead the children. It is her love that gives the home a foundation. Her reward is the success of those she loves and protects. Her prayer must be the child's confidence - her peace their well being - her silence their inspiration. The crown of the mother is keeping the respect and dignity of the home. She is the child's first teacher - the very first source to comprehend divine love.
The father, too, must not make the source of making money or earning his sole responsibility and life. It is important that he teaches the child the controls of discipline by the restraints he, himself, observes. It is his duty to protect his wife and children from all external influences. The partnership between the parents must be strong and secure. The conflicts between them must stay silent and unheard by the child - one's anger must be cooled by another's sacrifice.
Their love and understanding for each other will give their child the strength to face sudden foreign attacks - the peace in the home will give the child his nourishment of peace and inner contentment. Know, My dears, that if you are unable to give the best to your own child, then who in the world will? Do not throw them into the hands of teachers and friends. Teachers will always change - friends will only leave - but the guidance from the parents will stay with the child, until his love ends for them.
Bind the family with duty and love - envelope the air with the fragrance of sweet dedication. Yes! The home is the heaven where the parents are God - the children the angels. The parents are the message - the child is the messenger. He will only give what he has received from them. The gift of learning is the biggest of all. Your perseverance to teach by the truth of example is your biggest sacrifice. The child is innocent and easily impressionable. Your sincerity, My dears, will surely touch him. Do not be eager only to become parents, but keep the enthusiasm, the goal, the optimism and the backbone, right until the end of the task.

Learning - the first step towards achieving mental health...
a lesson, a remarkable learning story, to realize and to be realized............YOU MUST READ ON >>>>>>>>> I can guarantee a smile on your face....
Long ago in India, pupils need to go to live and stay in their teacher's house to learn. Their parents have to send their children to the teacher's house and let their children be educated there. They have also to move their personal belongings to their teacher's place to stay and live with the teacher sometimes in a faraway remote place..
After the teacher have finished her teachings, she would move the children to another teacher's home using bull carts. The cart will be pulled by several cows while the students and the teacher would sit at the back. All their belongings like pots and plates and glasses will also be on the move.
One day, there was a group of students travelling with their teacher who was dog-tried, so she was dozing off. Before she fell asleep, she told her students to look after their belongings. During the journey which was long and dusty and slow, the cows pulled the cart all along the pit holes and rough road. That was why the students were advised to look after their belongings so that they won't fall off.
After some time, the teacher woke up from her sleep, she discovered that some of their belongings have dropped. She quickly halted the cart and asked the students the where about of those things. The students told the teacher that they have looked at their belongings and saw them fallen down from the cart. The teacher was surprised that the students didn't pick up the fallen goods. Her students replied that the teacher only asked them to look after, so they did look after their belongings. Looked at them carefully, and that the teacher didn't tell them to pick up the fallen things.
yes, they did, yes, they looked after, looked at their belongings with their eyes....
The frustrated teacher was angry with herself, facing such a group of students that obeyed her in such a 'great' way. Yes, they told the teacher, they did looked after their belongings very hard, yes, they looked after them well. They didn't stop the bull cart nor awaken their teacher. They were not told to pick up the fallen things, they said.
Ok, ok, the teacher told herself, she had herself to blame, this time, I need to make sure that the students do the good job. She reminded the students to pick up just anything that fell from the cart. The students nodded their heads and promised the teacher that they will do the job well and asked their teacher to go to sleep. Soon, the teacher dozed off again.
This time, the bull cart stopped. Some 'thud thud' sound was heard. The students who wanted to obey the teacher rose from the cart and bought up something and put it onto the cart. Soon, the cart moved on. The sleepy teacher was soon awaken by an awful smell that came near by. She was surprised to see a few cow dungs on the cart! She immediately questioned the students who was the stupid one who put those cow dungs onto the cart.
The students were frowning among themselves, what went wrong, teacher, they asked? We did what was told, we picked up everything that fell from the bull cart. The teacher was half mad with the students, what have they learnt? They even couldn't differentiate what is needed or what is not! What is correct and what is incorrect!
The furious teacher reminded the students that the next time, if anything did fell off the bull cart, nobody is allowed to take up or recover anything. The teacher was thinking that losing some belongings would be far more better than collecting cow dungs onto the cart. So, they continued the journey.
Just then, the bull cart moved over a big pit hole, throwing the drowsy teacher off balance and down went the teacher, falling to the sandy, rusty road. The teacher was howling with pain while the cart moved on. The teacher called out loudly for the cart to stop, limping towards the cart, waving and calling for the cart to stop, only then it stopped.
The teacher then asked her students, why didn't you stop and pick me up? The students were smiling and answered, teacher, just now you told us not to pick up anything...yes, not to pick up anything that fell from the cart. See, we are heeding your advise. The teacher was too angry to scold anyone....she was shaking her head wondering how the earth these students can learn from anything.
What do you learn from here?
Some of us are now laughing at the story told, but in actual fact, some people do learn things as stubborn as these students did.
While on this educating field, most educators do sometimes feel the frustrations of being that teacher....the teacher who taught and thought that what was taught was what she thought. Education is a means to an end, not an end in itself.
It is a shame that nowadays, education is focused more on monetary gains; personal gains and focusing on their own families only, forgetting that morals, human values and character building is as important. Seldom, we teachers could recognize these mistakes before it is too late. It is of great importance that we as educators try our best to instill morals and human values and character building anytime, anywhere and any how available to our younger generations.
It is the quality that makes the difference, not the quantity... a qualitied breed of youngsters will be so much disciplined themselves than to have we parents to go after them using a cane or any invisible treats to discipline them. Aim at letting them be disciplined themselves through self-awareness, through self-realizations and understanding their True Self. The world will be then so much a nicer and better place for all....

children learn what they live!
If children live with criticism,
they learn to condemn..
If children live with hostility,
they learn to fight..
If children live with ridicule,
they learn to be shy...
If children live with shame,
they learn to feel guilty..
If children live with tolerance,
they learn to be patient...
If children live with encouragement,
they learn to be confident..
If children live with praise,
they learn to appreciate...
If children live with fairness,
they learn about justice..
If children live with security,
they learn about faith...
If children live with approval,
they learn how to like themselves...
If children live with acceptance and friendship,
they learn to find love in this world...

If there is love, there is God,
If there is God, there is love
Because Love is God and God is Love!
