【向陽心聲】父親節談管教

提起父親節,就想起管教,父母管教兒女的方法很多,略舉如下﹕

不正確的管教

1.傳統罵的管教

很多中國父母照傳統教導孩子,父母權柄高高在上,對兒女「愛在心裏口難開」,鮮有摟抱兒女或說親切話,對兒女的好表現視為理所當然,若一不合自己心意,立刻口不擇言大罵,還把兒女塵封錯事拉出來算帳,那是極惹兒女氣憤的事;有的父母在親友、兒女的朋友前照罵如故,還以為「知恥近乎勇」,以為兒女會因羞愧而改正。誰曉得效果剛相反,祗能造成兒女心靈創傷。在苛責中長大的孩子,缺乏自信心、容易自暴自棄,甚是可惜。

2.濫用體罰的管教

有的父母教訓兒女,動不動就體罰,如打耳光,或隨手拿東西向兒女兜頭打下去等等,這是錯誤的管教,因是父母發洩怒氣之舉。結果輕的是兒女對父母懷恨,嚴重的會傷害兒女生命,得不償失。記得多年前,有一年輕中國母親因女兒撒謊,一時氣憤,大力把女兒的頭撞向牆壁,導致女兒腦部出血死亡,後此母親被法律制裁,還會一輩子因誤殺女兒而內疚。

3.偏心的管教

有的父母因某兒女漂亮聰明、或功課好而偏愛,故管教有失公允;有的父母專門挑剔或打罵某個兒女,對其他兒女卻諸多縱容,這種管教能導致兒女心懷不平,產生妒忌紛爭。

4.殘害兒女的溺愛

有的父母對兒女祇盡力供應物質享受,對其濫交損友、染上不良習慣、處世待人狡猾、欺詐等等若視無睹,這是遺害兒女無窮的溺愛。一旦兒女惡習已成,父母後悔莫及了。

最好的管教方法

1. 按照聖經教導而施教

最好的管教乃是按照聖經的教訓來教導兒女,故此,從小帶領兒女明白救恩,接受耶穌基督作救主,一生行走神喜悅的道路,讓大能慈愛的聖靈作他們隨時的導師,那才是最重要最妥善的方法。

聖經說﹕「你們作父母的,不要惹兒女的氣,祗要照主的教訓和警戒,養育他們。」(弗六﹕4)作父母要常為兒女禱告,也要為自己禱告,求神賜下聰明智慧來養育神賜給我們的產業。也請記得,神才是孩子的主人,父母祇是管家而已。故此,請別苛求兒女為你圓夢,也請別按你的心意來決定兒女的選科、職業及娶嫁的人選。否則,終會弄至親子關係破裂,十分可惜。

2. 按年齡施教

父母要按孩子年齡施教,注重品格的栽培,如敬畏神、孝敬父母、尊敬長者,誠實、正直、有愛心、有憐憫等等,良好的品格和習慣要從小養成。

施教時,請先聆聽孩子的解釋,請告訴他為何你要施教。孩子才會心服口服,得施教之益處。

如果真的要體罰,筆者主張用報紙捲成棍子狀,祗打手和屁股,絕不打頭部,更不能用皮帶、拖鞋等物件兜頭兜腦亂打。孩子稍長,不宜體罰,應勸告開導。若父母施教錯誤,請向孩子道歉,此舉會讓孩子尊重你,因為祗有正直、勇敢的父母才會向晚輩認錯。

3.因愛施教大有效果

曾聽過一個真實故事﹕有一基督徒家庭,兒子常偷竊,父母用盡方法都無法令兒子改過,有一次兒子因順手牽羊被抓。當晚父親把兒子帶回家,拿起家法的小棍子,把妻女也叫來一起訓話。兒子心想,爸爸大概如前把他大罵一頓,再打幾下了事。誰曉得父親把兒子被抓的事痛心地講了一遍,突然心有感觸,摟著兒子,痛哭失聲﹕『我真是對神不起,沒有好好教導我的兒子,我該死!被打的該是我才對!』父親一邊痛哭,一邊拿起棍子不停地拼命打自己,全家哭成一團,兒子摟住父親,身不由己跪在父親面前,痛哭悔改﹕『爸爸,不要再打自己,該死的是我。我不再偷東西了,不再偷了!』這個兒子被父親的愛感動,真的痛改前非,成為一個品行優良、愛主愛人的人。

由此可見,若兒女明白父母因愛才施教,管教才有功效。

4.父母言行與陣容要一致

施教時,要言出必行才能收效。故此,請別誇大其詞,說些自己不能作的話,如「你再這樣,我就打死你」等等;也有父母親要管教兒女,其配偶在旁攔阻,結果變成夫婦對罵,孩子無所適從。故此,父母要互相配合,有時要輪流唱黑臉和白臉,祇要能同心為兒女好處著想而施教,效果會很好。

5.作兒女的好朋友,循循善誘

聆聽兒女的心聲,作他們的好朋友,喜討論、講道理。與兒女談心時,請記得要「快快的聽,慢慢的說,慢慢的動怒」,在適當時機才加以輔導,能收事半功倍之效。故此,別小看全家一同吃晚飯、談心,或週末郊遊等等共處的時光,那是連繫親子情的黏土。

6.以身作則的管教

諺語說﹕「上樑不正下樑歪」,好父母必須要以身作則,在管教上才能有功效。你要孩子有愛心,你必須是個有愛心的人,你要孩子用功唸書嗎?你必須也事事勤奮。你要孩子孝順嗎?你必須孝敬你和你配偶的父母。你要孩子誠實嗎?你必須是個童叟不欺的人,你要孩子行事為人光明嗎?你也必須言行光明、心口一致......。

請記得,你如要兒女聽話、尊重你、愛你,你必須尊重婚姻的承諾,愛你的配偶。一個破裂、有婚外情的家庭,父母常爭吵不休,孩子鄙視父母所作所為,他們連家都不想歸,怎麼會聽從你的管教?

而一個和諧喜樂的家庭,父母與兒女互相關愛,遇到困難問題時,自然會同心面對解決,這豈不是我們作父母成功施教,又夢寢所求的嗎?
