Answering The Pedagogical Question



A rather pedagogical question come into my head. It is more about morality, or a bit of philosophy (pardon my incapability to decide which one of them). The question is, what practices do we have with our families that are formative, to instill values or help them develop morals and personalities?

You may say. This a very serious question, and yes, I am currently in very serious mood.

I used to think that no one fully understood what pedagogy was until that person taught others. For instance, new parents will be transformed if they fully invest in forming their children's character. Those are, for example, husbands whose count their time reading with children or their wife as equal to or greater than any private devotional pursuit.

Reading, yes, one example of practice that is often considered formative is reading. How many times in a week do we read with our family members? It's time for us to answer the question honestly.

We may never know what kind of spiritual formation happens to the people closest to us, until we read what they read or offer a reading that they need to read, then try to answer questions wisely from them. From a child aged 4 or 5, or a wife who is curious about the topics outside the latest fashion and brand detergents. Or conversely, a husband who is saturated with the ins and outs of monotonous office work and wants to refresh his knowledge with a topic that is truly outside of his zone. Imagine how much values we could exchange, themes such as friendship and morals of each child's story. How many elements of parenting are found between the pages of articles or parenting magazines and journals?

One more thing and in my opinion, this is the most important thing. We can even invite them to think about the latest problems that are happening and invite them to think critically find a solution to overcome those problems.

Can we really take the time to do all that? If the answer is yes, then we are going to do a pedagogic practice, which is shaping someone mind who will imprint a lifetime.

Life has been changed dramatically. People migration from one social media platform to another is something that I hardly pictured ten years ago. But now, it’s kind of weird if you only use one platform and even weirder if you only have one account in one platform like Instagram.
