Raising the Children Today and Tomorrow
Educating the generation underneath is not easy; the harder we try, the more the challenge. We all have been stressed out as parents and taken the time to walk away to see where we went wrong and now it’s time to share our ideas.
Some of us go about being so self motivated as parents that we think we know the right thing to do when it comes to our children but never the less its a stepping stone and our idea tend to crowd our minds.
Being a parent and someone who’s been dealing with children its our job as parents to admit when we are wrong and when the time comes that we have to explain what to do with our motives and ideas, we have to think them out and not just want to be looking at our own thoughts, and learn to listen that is a big part of being a leader of someone life. I have dated and tried to be step father and I am til this day sometimes I believe I am making a good impression and sometimes I am not sure if I was raised correctly to be honest. I am not trying to degrade my family at all but when the plans are set for us. We tend to take it for granted that the family or parents will always be there when we make our mistakes and life, can through you a hand you never prepared to deal with, most of this is coming from being side tracked with bills and trying to keep up with the reality of life.
Being someone that kids can go to and discuss anything to is part of parenting, my blog is basically to earn the attention of other parents who want to be active and roll models in there childrens lives. Its always a learning process of parenting, some of us do not know our parents and this type of past hurt to haunt you in many ways. I am sure if I do not get the time to express myself on computer or talking to someone who knows where I would be right now. So if you are willing to meet me half way and bring your good ideas even your bad ones. Lets not compare ourselves as parents but make each other a better person as well as a parent.
My thought today is god put us here for a reason lets not waste our minds and energy on beating ourselves up and let go of the past, and concentrate on our future.

It is a good thing that kids always have adults in their family to talk to about life events. I know the kids in your family appreciate that about you. Parenting is hard, trust me I know as a surrogate parent, The work is hard with the only pay being the smile on a child’s face that shows their appreciation of you.

How ironic…I was just in deep thought about my parenting skills. My oldest child seems to be going through something and will not talk to me about it. One of the most difficult tasks in child rearing is the balance between being a parent and being a friend. I want my daughters to always feel comfortable talking to me about anything and everything but it’s not easy getting them to completely open up.

as a mom of 4,ages 22,20,19,and 15 it is important to have your kids know that you are always there to listen,you may not always like what you’re hearing but you have to listen.My husband and I have always told our kids that whatever happens we can help them but they have to come to us and tell the truth then we have the means to help them in any situation,but if they don’t come to us or they lie the situation may be out of our hands.
Parent’s it is okay to become your childs friend after they are grown,after the age of 18,but always let them know there is a line and you are always their Parent first.

As a single father of three, I have spent the last fifteen years trying my best to be both mom and dad. We have had some trying times but have managed to pull through stronger. There have been many times that i have second guessed myself. And there has been many, many sleepless nights worrying about my kids. My youngest graduated last june and turned eighteen in july, and is now attending college. I am proud of my family they are truly a gift from god. Now maybe i can venture out and date.
that is something i haven’t done done in many years.

My friend as one who has spent considerable time with kids, I can ony tell you, as long as you are reaching out to your children you are going the right direction. My sisters and I were raised in an environment of total negativism. By God’s grace we have all come through this jungle, to realize…God wants His children to live in the joy He gives. Bless you as you give your kids quality life instead of the world’s quantity of life.

Thanks for taking the time to share your story everything is important to us as far as sharing a story and getting everyone to view the ideas and suggestions, parenting is a large venue of ideas and always reminders the kids never let you say, you forgot because they always remember…
Just wanted to thank you for your story!

Great article for starting this discussion. I’m a single mom of two boys. I’ve always tried to make sure they knew they could talk to me about anything. What I’ve found is each kid is different. My oldest is very quiet and keeps thngs inside. He gets angry if I try to hard to get him to open up. My youngest, on the other hand, gives me signs. When he’s finally comfortable talking about it, everything just pours out. The important thing, I think is that our kids don’t always have to come to us for everything, but that they know they can come to us with anything.
