How do you feel when Children correct you? Do you appreciate or feel :( ?

As a teacher I am always open to correction. I try to bring accurate information to the classroom and if I am wrong and I am corrected by the student then I admit my mistake because I was wrong but also because I would lose the respect of the students if I did not admit I was wrong when I was wrong.

Even as a parent or teacher or even a president, we all make a lot of mistakes. I don't see anything wrong in having the little ones correcting us in any way. We should always be more open-minded and appreciate anything they are telling us. Its our way of letting the children know that we also value and respect their opinions.

If im a teacher and a my students have corrected me on something in front of the class, well i dont know how to comment on this..coz its not a good thing to be corrected by students ..but basing on your description here, its fine with you and accepted it since you have admitted for lacking of experienced..im glad that your taking it lightly..thats very rare on teachers i have knowned when im still a students!

Ya it has definitly happened to me sometimes. As I do accept that I am just too stupid at times and what else can we then expect. Anyways I once was at a party where the host family had two kids quite smaller than me and my sis... What happened was that I accidently called a dish somethng else than what it was and then even forgot to wash my hands and then the kids just spoke out and corrected me both the times... Though I was a bit embarrassed but still I knew they were correct and I was happy the way they corrected me, it was quite polite and well behaved. I liked it, as how many well behaved children do you see any ways. I do like getting corrected if I am wrong and it really doesn't matter who is correcting me. Take Care MAy GOD Bless YOU

Children have plain and linear thinking. But they are more imaginative. Sometimes children respond us with funny sentence but some may be meaningful since we are grown men/women who seldom think freely or creatively like a kid. They talk as they like because they are not bound to rules, or laws. Our thought is not as wide as them because we have rules and laws border. Talking with kids sometimes give me another idea that I never thought before. Sometime, think like a children is great too.

When i was a child ,i often corrected my parents' pronuciation.They both say it follow me again,then we would laugh together. But my classmate's parents dont do this as my parents. They often scold their child.so their child is afraid of answering questions on class. If i were a mother ,i would be proud that my child correct my faults.I think we will have a good relationship,and we can be good friends. Dont you think it is good thing to make friend with your child?

I think it is good that children correct us on our mistakes. It tells me that they are learning and understanding things and are also being helpful. I have had children correct me before, though I do not remember why. I do not have a problem with that at all as I think it is wonderful. It tells me that they are understanding the right things and the wrong things. It will make us all better in the long run.

Now the children have more experienced due the exposure they get in the world of internet , now it is our turn to learn from them. So whenever I have a problem then I ask them, same is the case of mobile phones in which they are an expert. Whenever they correct me I say thanks.

I was corrected by children and I had two major feelings. First of all I felt bad for making the mistake, when I should be an example for the kids. Second of all it feels good to see that the children are paying attention to what I'm saying and that they are thinking on their own. It is also a good time to teach them that one should accept his mistakes and try to be better from that time on.

If the correction is true, I will receive it and appreciate it happily, but if the children just want to blame me, I will ignore & try to act as usual.

Me as children do sometimes correct my parents but they do feel by what i've said.Sometimes,its just them that are the correct one.By giving ideas to them also does not help but instead they talk back about our wrong doings.I kind of feel a bit unappreciated of what i tried to share.This happen usually when its about matter in the house.Meaning,if i were to comment about that and that in the house,the arrangement of something in the house;they will always talk about my collections of things in my room that has the effects of the way we arrange the things in the house.And so i felt offended,its actually does not cause anything in the house.They should also listen and try to get through of what i want as a member in the house.. Sorry,there's a lot "In THE House" up here,hehehe

Why not! Children must be appreciated even if they make some correction or add something new to your knowledge. If even you have the thing before you must not let them waste their sharing.

Where I am living they speak not my mother tongue but another language. I have been living in this place for more than 40 years. Still I am not fully conversant with the local language. Since my daughter born in that place she not only speak fluently but also can write. Sometime when I talk to outsiders in the local language, my daugher used to correct me. By her teaching only I started learning the local language. I speak, now a day, somewhat better. Before my daughter's birth I even did not know the gender between male and femal in that language.

I think it is cute actually. They are just using what they have been taught to help others! If they are older (10-13) and rude about it then I would be offended, but for younger children I think it is cute.

Yes I have been lol my own Children and they still do it now We laugh about it though lol I do take note but still slip up at times and say it wrong I appreciate the fact that my Kids correct me even though I am stubborn and will still say it my way lol

I have experienced it many times to be corrected by young children. I find it amusing because they are really smart for their age. If the child corrected me and he/she right what i do is i praise her/him of how smart she/he is and thank him/her, if not i just smile and politely explain things to them. My son who is 5 yrs old always fond of correcting people and i was really amazed of how confident he is w/ himself w/c is my opposite when i was his age.But i always reminded him that he is not always right so he needs to listen to people who explain themselves and not to insist his beliefs to them

I appreciate them.We should learn from others if they have any nice quality.

If you are a human being you used to make mistake othere wise you are not . if you find mistake in you by yourself or from others you have to correct that otherwise you will do the same mistake once again. For that you can get adivise from 5year old child or 99 year old person i think there is no difference . we have study a lot from the childrens and also same from the old person

honestly.i'm not a teacher..but i do agree with your point.sure..Teachers are human being!sometime they would make mistakes even they won't ...they can be corrected by student or someone else.it's not problem...i only want that tearches can keep the good advises inside..

If children gives me idea or corrects me i apppriciate them. Whenever children gives u idea u should encorage them.U should never discurrage them. This gives them confidance.
