Everyone knows the word that we will consider today. The verb "reproach" fell into the zone of our special attention, and this, on the one hand, is interesting, and on the other, it is sad. But the reader must learn the meaning of the word.
Value
From early childhood, every person can, if he sets a goal, collect a whole collection of misses for which he is sprinkled. At first it was scattered toys on the floor, then unlearned lessons, and then, when he grew up and got married, his wife, and not his mother, began to saw him on various occasions. But do not think that only spouses can reproach. This is not true. Authoritarian parents do this at least, criticizing their children for not eating, sitting and are generally full of all sorts of flaws.
The reader loses patience in anticipation of the meaning of the word, but according to the preliminary part, its meaning could already be reconstructed. The explanatory dictionary says the following: "Do something to someone for reproaching, put something to someone reproach." Honestly, a vague explanation, so we replace the slightly outdated concepts in the definition of the explanatory dictionary with more modern ones. And we get, for example, this: "Reproach - is to make someone comments on his behavior or to blame some actions."
Well, now it’s somehow clearer.
Reproaches are pointless
After we figured out the meaning, it is worth mentioning how this educational technique is effective and useful in the fight against human "shortcomings". The last word is in quotation marks, because the characteristics of people cannot be taken right away and taken apart on opposite sides of the barricades. You cannot say from the very beginning where good is and where evil is. It is interesting, if you ask those who have suffered in childhood to reproach - this is good or still bad, what will be the answer?
So, reproaching a child, husband, wife, parents is completely ineffective. Why? Because scandals, and it is precisely to this that systematic claims lead, only shake the psyche of the parties and lead to tripled resistance of the one to whom they are directed.
Speaking, discussing, arguing and showing by personal example is much better and more productive.
If parents ask the teenager not to smoke, and perhaps even very talentedly talk about what diseases they are waiting for him if he does not quit, but at the same time they smoke quite successfully, smoking 3 packs a day, then hardly even severe reproaches help here.
Pretty commonplace thought, right? But for some reason it is necessary to remind about it again and again.
We learned what reproach is. We hope the reader understands that claims are not the best way to educate.
