Jewish wisdom

1. “Teach a young man as his way dictates. Then he will not go astray in his old age.” In Jewish education It is recommended to look at the character of the child in order to lead him in the way that suits him most. If you try to change nature, the child may listen out of fear. But, having got rid of fear, he will go astray, because he will not be able to change his nature.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. “May the honor of a disciple be as valuable to you as your own honor.”
3. “Talk to a person with speeches that touch his heart, even if it takes longer to perform them.” Although firm and decisive requirements may be more effective for speed, it is preferable to teach in a calm and soft tone, because in this case the person will accept the request with his heart and fulfill it more willingly.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. “Remember that there is a commandment to speak words that will be heard. But there is also a commandment not to speak words that will not be heard.” If you say the right words at the wrong time, they will not be properly received. And when the time comes, these words will no longer have the same force, because people will remember how they have already rejected them.
   
   
5. A sinner should be called one who does not watch over his sons and daughters, does not warn them and does not watch over their actions until he is convinced that they have become free from sins and transgressions. It is believed that the greatest reward a person will receive for guiding their children on the right path.
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. “Teach a child with a good attitude, for knowledge remains in memory only when a person receives it in a state of peace and tranquility.”
7. “Instill in a young man good qualities gradually, as slowly teach and good deeds. No human being can have all the qualities we want to see in him. Perfection can only be achieved gradually, moving step by step. Moreover, the size of each step should correspond to nature, as well as the spiritual and physical capabilities of the child.
   
   
   
   
   
   
8. The essence of the educational process is simple – to form the conscience of the child. It is the presence of conscience that will protect a person from bad deeds and encourage him to commit good deeds.
