Three Little Words

"Right On!"

Today, child rearing has many challenges unlike the past 50+ years when there was a determined set of rules describing right and wrong behaviour.

Today, there are no rules anymore or so it seems.

Instead, a social conscript (n. to compel into service) is underway changing what was considered normal into anything goes as new ways of raising and teaching children are on full display.

Much of what we see going on today, allowing children to pick their own gender and then pumping them full of male or female hormones is unhealthy and dangerous.

Exposing a child at a very early to a side of life that is much better left unknown until they are older (learning about transgenders, transsexuals) is also unhealthy but it appears that the social change experts have deemed otherwise, forcibly compelling children (and their parents) into a new role of embracing that which they don't understand or even agree with.

There is a forcible coup underway of usurping your rights as a parent in favor of what social change experts now deem acceptable.

No matter what side of the spectrum you're on, you, as a parent, are very much responsible for how your child turns out.  Your love and respect will very much determine their attitude on things and how he or she will respond, react to and handle life's problems.

I am trying to be inclusive here in that there are many parents with good intentions but with differing opinions on how to raise their children.

I understand that and this is why I want to touch on something very important.

It's called praise.

It's easy to scold and punish a child, exposing bad habits, or something wrong they did, sending him or her to their room.

It's easy to point out their fault(s) and remind them they've embarrassed you, made you angry or  crossed a line.

On the other hand, ask yourself this, "how many times have you offered your child praise and recognition for a job well done"?

Are you a parent so hung up on making a point to your child or an example of them that you never have the time to (p)raise them up?

Remember three little words:   

"Make Me Proud."

These words will be a defining moment in your child's life, something they will never forget, something they will rely on in life over and over, having it entrusted to memory by a loving parent.
