A child is any one below the age of 18 yrs this is in every country in the world.

There is asaying that states that its better to lead anotion then to bringup a child,This is not true and possble i oppose this motion by saying that, its better to bring up the child then leading anation. Anation means people and they are group up if they are mature, why then lead them???.

If its hard to bri ng up the child, who can do that then? 50% should be then by the parents and teachers 50% that would be avery nice thing.

Norwgians love and take care of their children very nice and very good.It now seven months that am working with the children of abt 2-6 years of the age what i have seen and also read from the books talk of the same things. I have also taken some time to inveiw some parents when they come to take their children they are really nice and tell me more thats grate of me.


One parent told me that in life in order to manage ur children, there are some basic thing u have to do and she said that we Norwegians have the following things abat their children.

1. Respect and pay attation to ur chn.

2. Care alot and mind alot abt ur chn.

3. dDonot force ur child to what she or he doesnot want .

4. Respect childrens rights and aproved all the basic needs .

5 Donot Displine by beating

6.Listen and respect their veiws .

8. Praise for good behavior, for reward is stronger than punishment.

9. Never threaten to stop loving .

10. Praise for good effort and work done.

SHOW LOVE AND SECURITY.

Actually when i hard all abt this , i was so happy and i told her that i have to apply this too to my chn in future that was really encouraging.

Unlike some of the afn parents who donot take care of their children at times they forget that they have some like achild.

This is for the children in norway to their parents.Hve love for their parents.
2. listen and obey their parents.
3 they have freedom to do what they think its right for thaem.

These all sums up to the good care and security for the childre.

Its so exciting and interesting to live in Norway.If ur " bongo ice," You might think that u have been left out un knowingly. Equality is their struogest weapone to fight.Every one in norway is the same either aman or womman what the man can do, even the woman can do Eg doing work in the ketchen a man can cook while the wife is doing cleaning the flow, awan can do dishes while the man is preparing the child to go to school,The man can set up the table for break or dinner while the woman is bathing. This is not there in most of african countries they say that the kitchen is for the woman their work is just to wait nd making women to hurry while they are doing nothing .Norwegians are very serios with every thing they are doing how small or much the thing is, Norwegians are very rich.

They donot care whom they know during time of work.So who you know matters, but not as much what you kow is more inportant . So donot be offended by the casual atomspher . Lack of protocal doesnot mean Rejection, Nor is dishonoring . They donot know what your Rules are so leave them at home .And when you are with them, you must address the people by their Names unless others use titles. Its always exprience is the best teacher they are in alow context culture unlike africans that have high conext culture where by they honor everthing around the like just God the creator.Not forgetting that the bible also says that .........................................



TIME AND PLANNING

The norwegians are time oriented.They have the watch while africans have time Every thing ur doing must be on time .Meetings, work,etc exctly you must be there at the time they are saying .If you cannot make teh time they told u, come earier than that so that they may find you there. Throuh that, they enjoy using thier time e
fficently .


They are also structured to their approch to life . Norwegians try to plan their day and saving time is avalue .

They expect the e.g the dinner the arrival of the guest or ameeting to to begin at the announced time .Visiting or informally chatting happenes be4 or after the event .

Short ,direct qns show respect for the person s time , as well as professionalism. Ayes must be yes and Ano musT be No there are no hinden meanings.

Honsty , direct answer is information only ,it doesnot reflect or how the person feels abt you.

You can say what you think nicely and it usually not be taken personally.


PRIVANCY
People enjoy their privancies through having time and space to themslves .They are expected to be asked for permission to borrow something or to interrupt their aconversation . Each person is considered to be the steward of his or her possessions and has the resposiblity to matain and protect them . Its accepted to hold aprivate conversation or make a exclussive plans with afew people not including every one.

When your going to visit any family, you must go along with aflower. At times some people carry their own food when they are called to be with them .

RESPONSIBLE.
when you have gone out with anorwegian, you must not expect that person to pay for your expences or bils no every person is reponsible of his or her own seif during this time. this is not the case with my country when aperson has called you to go out with him or her, the person is responsible of you. But i have lie this way for the Norwegians because one side is not loosing as the other side is gaining NOOOOOO.

INDIVUALISTIC CLUTURE(COLD CLIMATE.)

Am a self -standing person, with my own idenitity . Every individual should have an opinoin and can speak for him self. Taking initative within agroup is good and expected . One must know how to make ones own decisions. My behavior reflects On me, not on the Group .

GROUP- ORIENTATED CULTURE .(HOT CLIMATE.

I belong, there for am .My identity is tied to the group and the group protects and provies for me . Taking intiative within agroup can be greatly determined by my role . I do not expect to have to stand alone My behavior reflects on the group. S.U would be ahot -climate culture that doesnot necessarily fit the gruop orintation
Team members expect directions from leaders.
