Parenting a King (The Chair Aspect)
While visiting the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Egypt, this picture made an indelible imprint on me and my presentation of Parents as the first teachers. The actuality of this picture is that it is a part of King Tutankhamun’s treasure. The reign of King Tutankhamun, 18th Dynasty, was listed as 1336-1327 B.C. [If I am not mistaken in my notes: The small chair was for the child King Tutankhamun as he observed his father King Akhenaten (wife Nefertiti) who ruled in Kemet (Ancient Egypt) from around 1353 B.C. until 1336 B.C.] Think about the fixed message in this picture, the keeping of a young king’s mind focused on what is to be inherited, training, teaching, correcting and honor.

In the development of Kings, the greatness of children, one must discern the importance and gravity of their observation of the parent. From my experience as a teacher, parent, and administrator, I have come to realize that what a child pays attention to in school is set by the template of observing the parents/home environment thereby establishing the primary knowledge for which one will quest and seek. The term I coined is Household DNA. The Household DNA makes an imprint on the child and lays the foundation for the child’s choice of behavior and knowledge consumption. (Ref.
