Children can be a real pleasure in life. They can bring joy into many situations. However, there are times when they can be slightly problematic. In those times, you become the student. The children are the teachers. Learn what you can from their lessons.

In the kitchen, children can be a big help. They may also be a hindrance. Suppose you want to use your electric rice cooker. These cookers are very good for steaming vegetables. However, they are not particularly efficient for cooking crayons. This can bring new meaning to the term, steamed. Lesson one: keep rice cookers from small hands.

Children can be very artistic. It is a pleasure to see their artwork on the refrigerator door. It is not as pleasant to see it on the living room walls. This can put the work into artwork, as you clean the walls.

The amazing works of art on your wall, can be very mysterious. Often times, no one has any idea where they came from. This makes them one of life’s mysteries. Lesson two: Murals on your wall come from the great unknown.

Children rarely do such things on purpose. They do not possess the mental faculties as adults. Suppose your child is making mud pies. He or she would have no problem using your Kitchenaid hand mixer, to prepare the pies. They do not mean to be destructive. Destruction comes naturally. Lesson three: keep mixers in a safe place.

Your children may wish to help you with things around the house. Sometimes it is at the most inconvenient of times. You may need help with a car full of groceries. At that time, there may be nobody available. However, everyone will be available to help you eat those groceries. Lesson four: do your shopping, right before mealtime.

Children can be good at getting out of work. They will often do a poor job on requested tasks. They know that it is easier for you to do it yourself. Lesson five: Persist and you will win.

Music can sometimes be a problem. It is not so much the music, as it is the volume. When dealing with music volume, you can employ the Mcculloch chainsaw rule. Start your chainsaw up. If you can still hear the music, it must be turned off for one week. Lesson six: you can discipline kids and perform chainsaw maintenance in one step.

Final thoughts

You will receive great rewards from your experience with children. You will learn a great deal more than you will teach. Receive your education. It will be useful for spoiling grandchildren, in the future.
