ラッセル英単語・熟語1500 |
Manners should not be taught in the abstract, except when it can be done as an amusing game. But as soon as the child can understand, he should realize that parents also have their rights, he must accord freedom to others, and have freedom for himself to the utmost possible extent. Children easily appreciate justice, and will readily accord to others what others accord to them. This is the core of good manners.

<寸言>
幼児に抽象的に言っても理解されないのに、「こんなことはわかるはずだ」と思い込んで子供に注意してしまいがち。親にも、他人にも、子供(本人)同様の自由や権利があることを理解させることができれば、後は躾が楽になっていくはずだとのアドバイス。
