He wāhi ako te kīhini, ahakoa kāore he papa mā, he pere kura rānei. Ka horoi te tamaiti i ngā huawhenua, ka tatau i ngā koko, ka whakarongo ki ngā tohutohu, ka tatari kia tae mai tōna wā. I roto i ēnei mahi iti ka tipu te reo, te pāngarau, te manawanui me te mōhio ki te manaaki tangata.
Ko te whāinga ehara i te hanga kai tino ātaahua mō te whakaahua. Ko te whāinga, kia whai wāhi te tamaiti ki tētahi mahi pono a te whānau, kia mōhio hoki ia nō hea te kai, mā wai e whakarite, ā, me pēhea te tiaki i te katoa.
Tīmata ki tētahi mahi e taea ana
Mō te tamaiti nohinohi, ko te horoi huarākau, ko te haehae rau rētihi, ko te kawe pereti ngā mahi pai. Ka pakeke haere, ka taea te ine wai, te kōrori, te tapahi mā te taputapu tika me te tirotiro a te pakeke.
Kaua e whāia te tere. Mēnā ka oti i te pakeke ngā mea katoa, kāore he wāhi mō te ako. Whakaritea he wā roa ake, ā, kōwhiria tētahi wā kāore te whānau e tino hiakai ana.
Whakamahia te reo e hāngai ana ki te mahi
He māmā te ako kupu ina kitea, ina pāngia hoki te mea. Kōrerotia ngā ingoa: he rīwai, he kāroti, he wai, he oko. Whakamahia ngā kupumahi: horoia, tapahia, ringihia, kōrorihia, whakamātauria.
Kaua e whakamātautau tonu i te tamaiti. Kōrero māori noa: “Homai koa te koko nui”; “E rua ngā kāroti”; “He wera te kōhua.” Mā te whakahoki anō i ngā rerenga ka mau te reo.
He pāngarau kei roto i te tohutaka
Ka tatau i ngā hua, ka haurua i tētahi aporo, ka whakataurite i te kapu nui me te kapu iti. Ka kite te tamaiti he take tō te tau me te ine i roto i te ao o ia rā.
Ki te rua ngā tāngata e kai ana, ā, ka tae mai ētahi atu tokorua, pātai atu me aha te rahinga. Ehara i te mea me tika tonu te whakautu; ko te whakaaro tahi te mea nui.
Ko te haumaru he mātauranga, ehara i te mataku
Whakaakona ngā rohe: ko tēhea wāhi mō te maripi, me pēhea te huri i te kakau o te kōhua, he aha te take me horoi ringa, ā, me wehe te kai mata i te kai kua maoa.
Me noho tonu te pakeke i te taha o te wera me ngā taputapu koi. Whakamahia he taputapu e tika ana mō te pakeke o te tamaiti. Mā te whakamārama i te take ka mārama ake te ture i te kupu “kaua” anake.
Whakarongo ki ngā kōrero o te whānau
I a koutou e tunu ana, kōrerotia ko wai i whakaako i te tohutaka, nō hea ngā kai, he aha te kai ka mahia i tētahi hui. Kāore e tika kia kīia he tikanga onamata ngā mea hou; ka tipu tonu ngā tikanga a te whānau.
Ka taea hoki te kōrero mō te māra, te moana, te toa me ngā tāngata nā rātou te kai i whakatipu. Ka hono te pereti ki te whenua me te hapori.
Manaaki i ngā hiahia rerekē
Tērā pea he mate pāwera, he uaua rānei ki tētahi tamaiti ngā kakano me ngā kakara. Kaua e whakamā i a ia. Whakamārama ngā kai, tuku he mahi kē, ā, puritia ngā kai mōrearea kia wehe.
Ehara te whakamātau kai hou i te whakataetae. Ka taea te titiro, te hongi, te pā, kātahi anō ka whakamātau i tētahi wāhanga iti. Ka tipu te māia i raro i te rangimārie.
Kaua te mahi tiaki e tau ki te tangata kotahi
He wā pai te tunu kai hei whakaatu he kawenga ngātahi te whāngai whānau. Ka taea e ngā tāne, ngā wāhine, ngā pakeke me ngā tamariki te whakarite, te whakapai me te horoi.
Whakaritea ngā mahi kia rite ki te kaha, kaua ki ngā whakaaro tawhito mō wai “te tangata kīhini”. Mā konei ka ako te tamaiti he mahi whai mana te tiaki tangata.
Kai tahi, kōrero tahi
Ka mutu te tunu, noho iho. Pātai atu: he aha te mea i māmā, he aha te mea uaua, he aha ka rerekē ā tērā wā. Kaua te hapa iti e noho hei take riri; he wāhanga nō te ako.
Mā te tunu tahi ka whiwhi kai te whānau, engari he nui ake te hua. Ka tipu te reo i roto i te mahi, ka whakawhiti kōrero, ka mōhio te tamaiti he ringa tōna i roto i te oranga o te kāinga. Koirā te kai mā te tinana me te ngākau.
