Trust children, promote their independence, and teach them to respect their parents.

Jews are considered the smartest people in the world. The secret to their success is their method of educating their children from a young age. Below are the parenting secrets of Jewish parents, helping their children grow up to become talented people, as listed by Bright Side.

1. Promote independence

Normal parents believe that children will be successful if they believe they can do anything. Jewish parents find it more important that children think they can do anything on their own.In Israel, it's common to see one-year-olds eating steak by themselves, because children are allowed to do anything they're capable of.

2. Everything is difficult at first but gradually becomes easier.

To help children become independent, Jewish parents always acknowledge their efforts. When children develop a new hobby, parents support and encourage them. Jewish parents know that everything is difficult at first, but gradually it becomes easier.

3. Trust is the best reward

Jewish parents reward their children's efforts with absolute trust. When a child is fully trusted to do something, he knows he has done well.

4. Looks aren't everything

A Jewish child can be a source of incomprehension for many parents: they are dirty, their clothes are disheveled... In fact, keeping a child clean often requires a lot of effort and time from the parents, and Jewish parents consider this a useless task for the child's development. The child himself never cares about that appearance.

5. Embrace the clutter

Jewish parents do not mind when their children make a mess, they understand that children cannot keep things as tidy as adults. That is why instead ofNagging their children, Jewish parents allow them to be comfortable and gradually explain to them why neatness is necessary.

6. Let children exercise until they run out of energy.

Jewish children can run around all day and no one can stop them. Jewish parents understand that letting their children exercise to their fullest when they are young will help them become more confident and persistent in their efforts as adults.

7. Respect your family

Jewish children are allowed to do many things. However, there is one line that they cannot cross: respect for their family. If they drop a cat in a bowl of ink, they will only get a mild warning, but if they insult their parents, they will be severely punished.

8. Parents' work is always important

Jewish children are taught to respect their parents from a young age. Every child knows that everything they do is not as important as what their parents do. Therefore, children never wait for their parents to do something for them, they try to do it themselves.

9. Promote children's autonomy

Jewish parents do not punish their children by taking something away. Instead, they impose certain rules that will benefit the child if he does something, so that the child will not fear punishment but will learn to correct his behavior to his own benefit. Children voluntarily save food for their siblings because they understand that by giving something away, they can receive something else.

10. Nothing is unremarkable

Jewish parents believe that any child's achievements, even seemingly trivial ones, should be rewarded.Even when receiving a bracelet with only a few beads made by her child, the Jewish mother still sees it as a beautiful piece of jewelry and is willing to show it off to everyone.
