Sewing Lessons
For Teaching Children How To Sew
Children learn how to sew
with these valuable tips for teachers of sewing
lessons with children who want to learn how to
sew.
The tips presented here are
for those who are working with one or more
children, and/or teaching someone else's child.
I have learned these things through experience,
and they have helped tremendously!
1. Kids are very good at
knowing whether you are telling the truth or
not. Don't praise for the sake of praising,
only praise for a job truly well done. But
don't forget to praise the little steps i.e.,
having a good eye for threading the needle
easily, good pedal control...
Encourage as much as
possible. A fantastic rule of thumb that I have
mentioned before, is two positives for every
negative. Make sure these positives always come
before the negative. A "negative" is something
they need to work on, do better, or do again.
Don't forget to always present those negatives
in a positive way - meaning don't scold
them.
As William Barclay states,
"One of the highest duties is the duty of
encouragement. It is easy to laugh at men's
ideas; it is easy to discourage others. The
world is full of discouragers. We have a
Christian duty to encourage one another. Many a
time a word of praise or thanks or appreciation
or cheer has kept a man on his feet. Blessed is
the man (or woman) who speaks such a word".
(The Letter to the Hebrews, The Daily Study
Bible)
2. When working with more
than one child, never make a group feel
competitive. In other words, try to encourage
and praise evenly. I always like to have each
child demonstrate their strengths. I also
encourage kids to teach kids. Both of these
work great at building children's confidence,
as long as, you are allowing every child to
demonstrate and teach at the same rate.
3. Please include the
parents. I know that some parents may not want
to be included in the lessons however,
encourage and let parents get involved.
As we have said before, kids
spell Love, t-i-m-e. Most of the time, kids
love having their parents work with them. The
only time it can be difficult is when the
parents want their kids to be able to master
skills immediately - do it right the first
time, or at least by the second time.
If this is the case, you
have an opportunity to model an environment
that embraces mistakes and learns from them.
Look at it as, a chance to sow seeds in another
family.
More often though, I have
seen that children learn more and flourish,
when the parents are with them.
