Due to the nature of my profession, I teach a child for a minimum of one year and a maximum of nine years.
Until then, I’ve been a somewhat intimidating teacher, and I’ve always wanted to become a kind and gentle teacher.
However, there were many times when things didn’t go as I expected, and I was frustrated.
Looking back, whenever the children didn’t understand, I thought, “I’ve learned this for such a long time, how did I not know this?” and I realized that these thoughts were passed on to the children through their mouths.
A Mother’s love was an opportunity to change my life.
When dealing with children, think “It’s okay” instead of “How” and “Why.” I could do it,’ and I told it to my children.
So, things like, "I'll cheer for you," "You're doing great," came to mind naturally.
I said to a boy, who is about to enter middle school, "You're doing great. When I said, “I’ll cheer for you, hey!”
I saw my child smile brightly, saying, "Thank you, teacher." In that moment, I thought, “I’ve never said such warm words to the children before.”
The language of a mother’s love was one that allowed me to reflect on myself and deepen my understanding of my children.
Thank you
