Today, I would like to talk about children being trained to have some form of responsibility. That way, when they are older, it is an expectation they are aware of. When we teach our young how to be independent thinkers and players, it allows them to understand being in their own company is just as or more important than being around a group.
In rearing my daughter and grandchildren, I have another opportunity to use my experiences and teach them what I may not have known 20 years ago. I want them to be leaders and it starts at their ages. My daughter is 11 years old, the youngest is 3 months old and can be more patient than his older brother who is 19 months.
Children will react to how we act. They can be just as manipulative as some adults, when trying to get their way. But, I will work very diligently to teach them the ways that are genuine, sincere and compassionate.
I want them to understand it's not what they get away with when our backs are turned. Its how in control they are of their actions, when they are aware no one is looking.
This is a work in progress but it was truly something I chose to do from my heart. With the help of God, I will try with all my might to raise them to be as responsible, loving and in control of themselves so the system will not have to control them. They will only become statistics if they allow themselves to. Especially, after having been taught.
Train up a child in the way they should go. That way when they are old, they will not depart from it.
