Where Does Children’s Good Behavior Come From?#2
 
Milk feeding is one of the main ways to plant habits to the baby.

Baby#2 Feeding The Baby All The Time
 
This baby is fed all the time. No matter whether it’s feeding time or not, the mother or baby-sitter always bottle-feeds the baby. The baby has milk all the time, and never cries for food, and is also easy to baby – sit.
 
What will the baby be when s/he grows up?
The answer is s/he’ll be lazy!!!
 
No matter how hard mother tries to push him/her forward, s/he’ll not go anywhere. Even if mother tries to make him/her enthusiastic, s/he will just ignore her and be lazy. It’s like the mother has to take care of a little pig that does nothing except for eating and sleeping.
 
Who plants this habit to the baby? Mother does.
What does mother use to plant the habit? Feeding.
Milk feeding is one of the main ways to plant habits to the baby.
 
Comparing these2 ways to raise kids, we’ll see that the baby not being fed on time is like having a fierce tiger or a mad dog to take care of, while feeding a baby 24 hours a day is like having a pig to take care of, doing nothing but eating and sleeping on and on.
 
Baby#3 On Time Feeding
 
The baby is fed only at feeding time. This is like planting a habit to a baby to be punctual.
 
What will the baby become when s/he grows up?
 
s/he might be compared to a clock. S/he will not be interested in eating if it’s not eating time. S/he’ll eat only when it’s eating time. After having a meal, s/he’ll behave because his/her parents planted a punctual habit into him/her already.
 
“Food” from parents can also plant childrens’ habits.
 
“Food” from parents can also plant childrens’ habits.
 
If we train him/her to be punctual, everything else will be on time automatically.
 
So the way we lead children to repeat thinking, speaking and doing will lead to his/her habit in the future. It is the cause that our habits were planted from repeat thinking, speaking and doing since we were little babies.
 
“Food” from parents can also plant childrens’ habits.
 
When children grow up and start learning to eat, some parents mix all good nutritious food for children together and don’t care that if it tastes good or not They mix vegetables, eggs, meat etc. based on the nutritional value. The children cannot what to eat. They must eat it all.
 
Some parents allow children to choose what they want to eat; chicken, pork, vegetables, or snacks.
 
Will these 2 groups of children have the same habits and health? No.
 
Children who like to eat only meat will lack the mutrition from vegetables. Children who like to eat only vegetables will not get all the nutrition as well. Children who always have snacks will be unhealthy. Even if parents are rich’ if they don’t feed their children with proper nutrition this can cause unhealthy problems in them.
 
On the other hand, if parents are poor but they know to feed their children with proper nutrition, those children will be healthy and strong.
 
Parents who prepared food for children with proper nutrution, planted habits for children who are easy to feed and easy to live with and who are not temperamental.

Parents who prepared food for children with proper nutrition, planted habits for children who are easy to feed and easy to live with and who are not temperamental. Parents, who allowed children to choose  whatever they wanted to eat planted habits of self-centeredness, inconsiderateness and hot-temperedness in the children.
 
How can we plant considerate and inconsiderate habits into children?
 
We can plant habits by training children in manners regarding eating.
 
If parents allow children to chew food noisily, they won’t know they are being inconsiderate of others. If parents train children to have nice eating manners, then they will be considerate person.
 
Good habits of children are taught from each bite that they eat and each sip that they drink based on the right manner of training, while bad habits are impacted from the wrong manner of training.
 
Dishes Have An Influence On Childrens’ Habits.
 
After having meal, a child has to clean his/her own dish, but another child doesn’t have to. What will these childrens’ habits become?
 
The child, who cleans his/her own dish, will be responsible.
 
The child, who doesn’t clean his/her dish, won’t be responsible. When s/he works, others have to help him/her to clean up until the work is done.
 
We can conclude that parents plant childrens’ habits by using each meal as a tool. It’s incredible that it has a big impact on habits.

Parents Have To Be A Prototype For Children To Repeat Thinking, Speaking and Doing.
 
Before training good habits to children, parents have to start observing the following:
 
1) What are our good and bad habits?
2) How are those habits impacted from repeat thinking, speaking and doing in the four factors of life and work?
3) How can we repeat thinking, speaking and doing to become disciplined, responsible, clever, pure, kind and generous?
4) How can we develop the four factors of life in the household and train the children to become disciplined, responsible, clever, pure, kind and generous?
 
If we don’t teach the children wisely the children might inherit the parents’ bad habits and they might be blamed with, “They don’t’ want to be good.”
 
So parents have to set the example for children and repeat thinking, speaking and doing so that they will be led to become disciplined, responsible, clever, pure, kind and generous
 
Conclusion –A Human’s Habit Comes From:
 
1) Repeat thinking, speaking and doing in the right way causes good habits.
2) Repeat thinking, speaking and doing in the wrong way causes good habits.
Then it’s time for parents to learn how to train children to become disciplined, responsible, clever, pure, kind and generous.
