Susanna Wesley: Mother and Teacher
A dmit that capture the reader's attention is what I want with the title of this article, may be even abusive, but Susan's life deserves to remain light, is an example of what the Lord can do with their children, an example of the importance of each link in the chain, although this link does not know the final destination or the chain, without it, without it , may not have achieved the goal.
S usana was the eldest of 25 brothers, which means making mother before giving birth, any woman with brothers know what I mean. Being a mother, being a teacher, clergy, nurse, counselor, cook, seamstress, and all with the guarantee of natural learning, the one who said that children do not learn, but they imitate.
E n one occasion his son John Wesley was asked to write his method of raising educated children, she was reluctant to do so and is saying "no one can follow my method if no waiver the world in the most literal sense, there are few, if any, that would dedicate 20 years of the prime of his life with the hope of saving the souls of their children. "
S usana home had a school with so many children seem the most natural and cost effective this young woman, this school taught six hours a day to their children and that for 20 years, obviously did have their children educated, and gave them a way to organize your life, priorities and values \u200b\u200bby which to go, and all This is based on the Word of God. We instill obedience and respect for their parents at an early age, taught him to mourn and eat slowly and drink only what was given them. Eating and drinking between meals were not allowed unless they were sick, every evening at six, family prayer and dinner at six-thirty. At eight to bed an hour earlier had rested games after dinner.
" wisdom is justified of her children." (Matt. 11:19)
l E basic text was the Bible School Wesley but also Susan wrote three books to fill them in your school: A Handbook of Natural Theory (A natural theory manual), An Exposition of the Apostles 'Creed (An explanation of the Apostles' Creed) and An Exposition of the Ten Commandments (An explanation of the Ten Commandments).
S usana was the leading figure in raising of the children in the household of Wesley. His education, gifts to organize and firm personality, coupled with the fact that the father, Samuel, was a busy man other things, they put Susan in front of the household things. With the word of God as Standard sought for your home and life for their children:
U na lifestyle, and schedule.
S usana in his eagerness to educate each organized according to their talents today what a psychiatrist would call an individualized plan of development (PID) and set a time diet, hours of sleep, eat, get up, study, rest, and since they were babies breast had their time, so I recorded the times and need to meet targets, inculcated habits. She dedicated that effort into this that the baby fell asleep at the desired time: not mourn or fight. Similarly, this principle was applied while feeding the baby.
E No Freudian terms as a small child I teach them to live according to the principle of reality, not desire. Everything was timely: the prayers, breakfast, school, quiet time, rest, family worship, etc.., All as the clock. Each day looking for a time to devote to meditate on the Lord in the affairs of the day. Every day a child separated for fellowship with him, the contents of that time was related to the needs of identification and communion of the son or daughter. Every day put a brother who could read with one that was learning the Bible as text, the more I learned teaching. And always the case. And if for any reason the routine was interrupted (twice burned home, and fatal mishaps occurred), the misfortunes and atedian minimum stable situation was reset routine, this created security in the family Wesley safety method. Every parent knows how important security is for growth in all directions, not just for children, also for business and in social life.
S usana knew that if a child did not learn to control their appetites, he would control it themselves, possibly for the rest of his life. A reason for this, made strict rules about eating. Established order in the types of food according to the ages of their children so that soon all eat from the same kitchen, doing dishes like or dislike. Even had their sweet time and sense were not for any time or for any day.
l E home is calm and security to the family
E l home of the Wesley was somewhat unusual as to have more than 19 children spouses and domestic servants was not a noisy, and this was due to the maxim that generated a quiet house in order in its inhabitants, but ara not forget that Susan is a saying, "Always talking, never learning." so teach them to listen was elementary, I remember some American missionaries when they disciplined her son crouched to be able to whisper so softly I never knew I had told them once I asked them why they were almost silent voice scolded, I was summoned to Susanna Wesley and explained that since children are naturally curious, silent and pay full attention if you do not find out what her parents say. Susanna Wesley was the goal of the year the children had to mourn without fuss and without raising his voice. Similarly, children were taught to be quiet during family prayers, and bring a sign of blessing at the end of them, instead of talking. Do not forget what we were saying at the beginning of the article "children do not learn but mimic "
F TRENGTHENING will
L at will is like a muscle, the more you will exercise more power and Susan was looking for complicity in the child's desire to control things to associate with their own and take care of him and to give it to God "This is the only safe and reasonable foundation for an education, without which neither precept nor example will effects. "
L to Man's will is the center of religious life. If not yield to their parents, will be much harder to surrender it to God, and all training about domestic life and spiritual life will be frustrated. So this principle is of paramount importance is to purchase it ASAP.
L a repetition of good actions create good habits. So, take such actions planned in good order, every day is a tremendous help. According to the book of Ecclesiastes (Chapter 3), everything has its time. In a well-ordered home life, no time for each child read the Bible, clean your room, help in the purchase, play with your friends. Thus, a child will grow to fulfill such tasks, without thinking that it is abnormal.
