10 Commandments for Parents of Janusz Korczak
Janusz Korczak - an outstanding Polish educator, writer, doctor and social activist who refused to save his life three times.
The first time it happened, when Janusz decided not to emigrate to Palestine before the occupation of Poland, in order not to leave the house orphans to fend for themselves on the eve of the terrible events.
The second time - when he refused to escape from the Warsaw Ghetto.
The third time was. When all the inhabitants of the house of orphans has risen in the train, go to the camp to Korczak SS officer approached and asked:
- That you wrote "King Matt"? I read this book as a child. Good book. You can be free.
- And the children?
- Children go. But you can leave the car.
- You are mistaken. I can not. Not all men are bastards.
None of the witnesses of this conversation is left alive. How not to remain witnesses and the fact that Korczak on the way to Treblinka told children fairy tales to distract them from the painful thoughts.
But these episodes are so characteristic of the personality of the "old doctor", so match the style of the whole of his teaching and of human life that is not in doubt - it was so. Janusz Korczak - a teacher who refused to leave their children on the threshold of the gas chamber. I do not leave, and died in a German concentration camp Treblinka together with his pupils - children from the Warsaw House of orphans, although he could be saved.
After all this we can no more know about Korczak. Website can only publish 10 principles of education of children recommended this amazing man.
Do not expect that your child will look like you, or like you want. Help him to become not you, but themselves. Do not ask the child payment for all that you did for him. You gave him life as he can repay you? He will give life to another, one - third, and this is an irreversible law of gratitude. Do not vent their grievances on the child, so that old age does not have the bitter bread. For what you sow, you will ascend. I do not take it down problems. Life is given to each of the forces, and be sure - it is hard, it is no less than you do, and perhaps more, because he has no experience. Do not disgrace! Do not forget that the most important meeting of man - his meeting with the children. Pay more attention to them - we can never know whom we meet in the child. Do not torture yourself, if you can not do something for your child, just remember: not enough is done to the child, if not done everything possible. The child - it's not a tyrant, who takes hold of your whole life, not just the fruit of the flesh and blood. This is a precious cup, which God gave you to keep and develop it in a creative fire. It liberated the love of mother and father, who would not grow "our", "their" child, but the soul, this deposit. Know how to love someone else's child. Never do a stranger what would not want to do yours. Love your child anything - untalented, unsuccessful, adults. Talking with him, I rejoice, because the child - it is a holiday, which is still with you.
