Bullying at Home.

How  you wake your kids up in the morning?

I was drinking my tea at 5:15 am when I saw a mother woke her son up. I was so surprised to see the way  she did it. “hey! Wake up, wake up. Sholat! Wake up. You wanna go home or not?” she did it by tapping his body many times.

This was not the only case I know. As a teacher I sometimes asked my students how they are treated by their parents. I started my questions from “How did she wake you up in the morning?” most of them  said, “very much noisy, ma’am” when I asked how did they feel about  that, “Made me really bad mood, I was lazy to do anything she asked me to do”  I do understand them well as we know that sleeping is the natural periodic suspension of consciousness during which the powers of the body are restored or the natural state of rest during which your eyes are closed and you become unconscious. 

 Based on the definition of sleeping above, it’s not right to wake our kids that way.

As a parent we should know how to make  kids comfortable in their house since a house is a place where we can share anything with family. We have love and care in our house. We call it home sweet home.  My son always said to his father, “please stop talking, I can’t  think if  you always talk too much in the morning”

Based on the fact above, I suggest you here to be very careful in waking  them up and treating them  in the morning.

How can we do that?

I will share my own experience that was used by some friends and I got  good news after they applied it in their home.  This may need special time to do that one of my friends said, “I did it, and got very good result but I can’t go on because I don’t have much time only doing this matter.”

This is what I always did every morning.

I came to my son’s room, laid down next to him, carrresed  him and said, “wake up baby, time to pray and school”  I  kissed him many times. Sometimes I sang this song, “Wake up the morning’s over, the bed is soft and warm where we laid, ...” (This girl has turned into a woman song, hehe) My son always held me and said, “later mama” then I kept whispering, “come on darling, you don’t want to come late, do you? Let me lift you down the stairs.” I lifted him down and took off his clothes sent him to the bathroom. Everything’s great  efter bathing. He had breakfast  and talked happily.  I used the time to ask him telling me his experience the day before.  Sometimes I made some jokes. After he did all he must do, time for him to say good bye.

I created  my own way to do this. And it’s not used by many people.  My son kissed my right and left cheek, my forehead and I did the same. We closed it by hugging so tight for about 30 seconds. When doing this, I whispered in his ear this words, “I love you, son. You are my pride.” Then I let him go by waving my hands. “da daaaa”

I got so much good response after sharing this to some friends, and got good news as well. You may try this with your kids. And you will see the different. You will create a happy generation.
