PARENTING, CHILDREN & RESPECT GO A LONG WAY

You did everything to teach them at an early age, then the teen years occur, keep your ground. Never let them lose sight of what you taught them. They will thank you later on. They will need to make their own decisions and you can only hope they are the right ones.

What are you teaching your child to be? Respectful? I know that if you are, then your children should be respectful where ever they are. In and out of the home.

Instilling trust in a child is what parents need to do. When the trust in them for the decisions made that are not right. Sit down and point out what trust is with your child. Let them know it is not a given. Your child needs to earn it. I will let my child know there is an invisable string attached to you. I can reel you in very quickly and take a privilage away just as fast as I gave it. I can giveth and taketh away.

What has happened to the children?

There is know need to spank a child, or hit him or her, talk to them. Listen to what they have to say. This needs to be done in the early years. Later on when this happens, hold your ground they will try everything to get you to give in. Most children will come to their parents first when they have a concern or question. What is funny at times are those children who are more mature than their parents. Not all children have a good start in life. Sorry to say they have to find their own way, in school, by another family. That is your role.

Are you listening to the garbage that comes out of a childs mouth? Is it your child or your childs friends? It might even be you. What do they watch on tv? Are the things they watch age appropriate?

Manners remember those??? Please and Thank you

YOU'RE WELCOME...

OH SO TRUE!

The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.

Albert Einstein

Tell no lies, be truthful. Parents cannot answer the questions if you don't sit down and open up..we are not the enemy.

I am not my childs friend...I have the ultimate title, "Mom". My children are my greatest accomplishment in life

I am a mother, wife, Work outside the home or not. The baker, cook, Takes you here and there. If it's withn walking distance, then start walking. Housekeeper, nurse, The meanie, the one who is cool then at times I am not because I won't let you watch movies that are not age appropriate, ha, ha I hold the remote so I can fast forward. I volunteer, the one who tucks you in at night. The one that will say; "This hurts me more than it does you".

Who, What, Where & When

Ask these questions before your child leaves to go somewhere. If they are not mature enough to understand the questions, then perhaps they can stay home. Next time they might think before they say anything to you, also they should have all the answers before they ask you.

Are you that trustful that your child will tell you they are going out and will be back later? Are you the type of parent who doesn't ask with who, where are you going , when should you be back home.( Your child should say at a decent time)

A parent who cares will break down the walls between the both of you for a better understanding what is causing the barrier...that is love

This is life when you leave home..good luck!

My children are not wanna b's they followed their own path. They were liked for who they were.

Success has a price...

If you can find a path with no obstacles,
it probably doesn't lead anywhere.
