5 - Make Sure Your Kids Do What's Right.

When I was a supervisor of about 300 high school students in Western California, I made sure that these students were accustomed to adhering to the sanctity of time and keeping appointments. I expected them to come at a certain time, and I did not allow them to leave until after a certain time, and I expected them to carry out specific tasks and engage in required program activities. I always made sure that everyone performed well, each according to the task assigned to him, and I was amazed by the wonderful commitment of most of the students and the creative touches of many of them and their competition to perform the tasks assigned to them correctly and skillfully.

My experience with children taught me that a child can sense, in some way, whether you, as a parent or supervisor, expect him to do his best. If this child feels that you will tolerate him if he does not perform at his best, he will do little and will not exert himself to produce or perform at his best. If the child feels that your expectations of him are modest, his performance will fall to the modest level that you expect of him. I have known many children who were strongly motivated by high expectations from their parents or supervisors. I still keep in touch with many of the children I supervised. Some of them still remind me that they learned a lot during that period because they felt that there was a keenness to perform well and that I expected them to accomplish their tasks in the best possible way.
