Myron outlines four distinct stages of child development to prepare children for adulthood: levels of parenting of child development. The first level is training. That's the first level of parenting. And that's when your children are between the ages of day one and four years old. You train them. The purpose of training is to get them to respond appropriately to authority. Zero to four. It could save their lives. And here is the only response to authority when you're zero to four. Complete and immediate obedience. You do what I said exactly when I said it, not after I explain to you why, but simply because I said it, because you are not yet four years old. So, that's the first stage of child development. So, that's training. So, for the purpose of getting them to respond properly to authority. Second stage is teaching. This is the hardest stage of parenting. This is age five, six, seven, and eight. This is where you start explaining the reasons behind the rules. What's this face called? Teaching. Teaching. Training and then teaching. Training is for response, the purpose of teaching is so they can learn to reason properly, appropriately with truth. And so you teach them the reasons behind the rules so that they will keep the rules for the right reasons when you're not around. So you're teaching them. And then 9, 10, 11, and 12, that's transitioning them. And what does that mean? That's where you are preparing them with life skills by them doing things with you to you doing that thing with them to you them watching then watching them do the thing. So they you ask them, what do you want what what what are we going to eat for dinner this week? What are we going to eat for breakfast? Okay, what are the ingredients we need to get? And they learn how to make a grocery list and they go to the grocery store and they learn how to find these things. And then they come home and then they help you prepare the meal or and if it's not you, whoever. Whatever the things are that you're working on, that your children are working on with you, they are doing it with you. Get your children started working in your business as soon as they are able. Like if that's two, three years old and they're doing modeling or whatever and they're holding your book and you're creating an whatever, get your children started in your business. Pay them money for the work they do in your business. And you know their tax advantages and all of that and all that. When they from 7 to 17, I think is the used to be the ages. I don't know what it is now, my children are grown. That's the third phase of parenting. Transitioning. Transitioning. And then when Jewish children turn 13, actually when they turn 12, they they get Bar Mitzvah. Do you know what the Bar Mitzvah means? No. Bar means son, Mitzvah means law. So Bar Mitzvah is your son of the law. You are now responsible to God for keeping the law for yourself. You're an adult. That's what a Bar Mitzvah is. At 12? At 12. Yes. I was in I was in Israel. I was visiting with my friend, um, Reese and we were out to dinner with her and her husband and and I said, well, what what are your children doing? Oh, they're home with my oldest son. I forgot his name, but I'm they're home with my oldest son. He's 13. He's a man now. That's what she said. And I was the Right. I was reckless at 13, you know. It's like Right. Well, I'll tell I'll tell you why that whole phenomenon exists in America. But anyway, so so that's trusting your children because now is when you start trusting them as adults. That doesn't mean you give them the keys to the car. Sure, sure. But it means they are thinking like an adult. Do you know that in America, before the Great Depression, people would graduate from the eighth grade at 13 and then they would go get a job. I believe it. Right? And were and they were more literate than a lot of high school graduates and some college graduates are now. So why why are children in America programmed to remain children until they turn 36? Because some of the business moguls of the past believed in a zero-sum game. And so they set it up in such a way so that they would win at the expense of other people instead of at the empowerment and the embeddment of other people. And they realized that there are two classifications of people that you can count on for over-consumption of any product. Addicts and children. So if we can get people addicted, which is why the cigarette companies bought the food companies, crazy. And if we can get people to remain children longer, then we can perpetuate our sales to these people forever. Crazy. Yeah. What's the fourth phase called? Trusting. Trusting. You trust them as an adult.
