I have a very disciplined friend, Mr John. He has four school-going kids. He is very supportive for his kids. Making them get up in the morning for school, making a light breakfast for them, etc, is his pleasure. At night, Mr John and his wife keep their children's school uniform ready so that early morning, there are no problems for the kids. Special requirements of children for co-curricular activities, if required by the school(mentioned in the school diary), are also arranged by Mr and Ms John.
John is a believer in strict discipline, which must be followed by kids. As kids grow a little older, John slowly transfers his responsibility, which he was doing for the kids, to them(kids). For example, keeping their school uniform properly in the cupboard. Asking them to arrange special material for their co-curricular activities.
Johns strongly believe that slowly and gradually transforming parents' responsibility towards kids so that those responsibilities become part of kids day to day life is very comforting in kids' lives. Examples like taking a bath, polishing shoes, and packing their own lunch boxes. These activities, though small but a are a big step towards the child's independence.
Johns suggest that this transition has to be Delta x in nature. If children sometimes miss doing the same, a warning is issued to the kids. But according to John, this practice of giving children responsibility for doing their own things makes them wise, strong and mature.
If parents fail to do this responsibility of transferring small life skills at a younger age, they are creating trouble for children in their future life, especially when they get married. This discipline is very difficult to be inculcated in adulthood.
Moral- pre prerequisite of this training requires that parents are very friendly with kids. Then only they can build up trust in transferring small skills valuable to kids for leading a comfortable life.
