When Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann was 5, his father had a habit of giving his son, what he referred to " thinking lessons."
Professor Flügel states, from the account of the old members of the porcelain factory: The father before going to the factory, frequently used to lock his son in a room, close the shutters, and give him a difficult sentence to ponder over, of which he had to give an account on his father's return. This contributed in making the son into an original thinker. How can a child be kept safe and occupied in such a way that he learns positive even amidst the negative war zone? Parenting is of utmost importance in making the future of a child.
