Parental authority
Authority means respect, appretiated by some parents, tutors and other people, who strongly influence the child or the adult, and to whom the child or the adult vuluntarily submit themselves, realizing their superiority based on their knowledge, life experiences, morals, strenght of their character, precision of their actions, and on handling people. Authority comes from the personality of each person. Personality of each person comes from his moral and character properties, experiences and knowledge.
Science and experience confirm, that the upbringing have the biggest success of those parents and tutors, who have the authority. Parents often express: father has authority, mother has not it, that is why when mother want to upbringing her children she threaten by father and also in other side, when mother has authority and father hasn’t. Children or brothers and sisters threaten: “I will tell it mum!” In this family, where one parent is threatened to children, a balance is disturbed. Each parent should have so much authority, to have respect from his children. The other parent doesn’t need to use corporal punishment, children subordinate from love, regard and children more accept just one parent, who is not threatened to them.
Some of people think, that authority is given to parents, or that they inherit it. People also think that authority is some individual talent, ability, which parents cannot learn. Today’s psychology defines authoritarian figure and properties of this figure so good. Authority is a personable property but not common property. Each parents ant tudors can obtain authority of children, when they make things which are right for acquirement of the authority.
We know two types of authority: formal and informal.
Formal authority originates from a power position, which an individual has, from his official function, where he is.
Informal authority is result of personal profile, mature, abilities, adequate self-condifience from which person has acknowledgement.
Formal authority is necessary useful for securing of normal life in the company. Human accepts authority simply. He does not study for example character of trafickman, who orders traffic control on crosses, and also he does not have to know the author of atlas of mushrooms but he believes his statements and also human conforms according to his advice.
Questions of morality, ideology, values of human value and relationship, are questions which introduce refill of action of people and reason of their state. Serious authority determine about those questions. Serious authority is authority of tudors, parents, judges, commercials and other people. Neither children nor adult individuals do not reject this authority blindy. At first that child accepts and acquiescing authority, tries to know and evulates more closely the person who order him. Child supposes, that has right to evaluates and judges adult, who rule his behaviour and action. Child shows the regard only people, who deserve it.
Isn’t possible, that parents or teachers rationalization or represent each their requirement or signal. It would be just waste of time to represent each requirement or signal, sometimes it would be also purposeless, because a little child doesn’t know make a sense of logical reasons of certain term yet.
