Hello parents, and ofcourse potential mothers and fathers here, be aware that now is the time for any possible readjustment if need be. In no distant time from now we would be gifted with children, I know many of y'all be thinking you still got many years to turn up before considering having kids but I say it's still of better advantage if we start now.
There are quite a number of things to consider readjusting so our kids would see and learn what we hope for them to see and learn. Among those things that we might need to change is :
Ourselves;
So many are so faking appearances in the presence of their children, they could be uttering vulgar words but as soon as they see their kids around its a sudden composure, so that the kids don't get infested with the wrong intake. It could be okay keeping appearances at a first instance but when everyone gets comfortable and you are forgetting to hide what you normally hide or simply got tired, wouldn't they still get wrongly infested.
Instead of a double life, we could just work on what we need to deal with as soon as possible. Are you rough, by rough I mean rugged, like a thug kind of rugged. With so much drama for a day, if this continue you'll be needing extra effort to explain to those smart kids that such life style doesn't pay and it should be stopped. My daddy does it like this, oh my mommy says it like this, these kids are very smart, they pick up so fast. You'll be amazed as to the habits that have stolen from those they see most times.
Environment;
Not to us alone, although we play a very vital role, as we determine what they do, they are our kids, and the decision is for us to make at that early stage of their life, indeed a very fragile and critical stage of their life. We should take notice of what they are likely to see in the Environment. Our locality is also very important, what do they see when they step outside, what they see has a way to shapem their view about the outside world. Some things wouldn't be learnt at home or in school, there are quite a number of things they would learn from the street.
No wonder some families are currently uptight as to how often their kids goes outside. They are only trying to protect the innocent kid from mixing with the nonchalant public. People are funny and they don't really care for any young child, if the child is not theirs then they can speak and act as will and not care what is going on or the aftermath of the association. We must be careful as to who and where our kids go to so we can be certain their body and brains are still intact.
School;
Their friends and School is a major aspect to take caution, you can't really know the schools influence, moreover you won't sit in class with the kid, so how then do we ensure they imbibe the right information for better growth and performance. Maybe go to the school teacher and have a little chat just to know if they truly know to the book they claim them. Also maybe go with a good referral, there are schools that have done better and can be referred to you rather than picking anyplace to train up a child. Yes, taking care and ensuring our child's mental safety is a Paramount case.
Their Friends;
I didn't forget about mentioning their friends, this group of young cuties can be holding more effect to your kids life than you know. So with the eyes of an eagle it's ideal we seieze out who comes around our kids. Maybe selection can be done indiscriminately by outward appearance, then attitude, words and also family background not because you want to control their every movement but because you know very much the influence a friend can have over another friend. Currently it's almost like the little kids are exposed to content they aren't supposed to see yet, they can say the nastiers of things and not feel a thing. The world is evolving but its gets more crazier.
Our Home;
I'll like to end what our kids are likely to see with discussng about the home. They know more place than you'll do in that same house of you, or they soon would come. So the home needs to be in order too. Not meaning it being neat necessarily, but more like making the home as responsible as possible, no need for sexual stations or vulgar channels, nasty wall papers are not needed. You could also use the home as a lesson for them so they can see the importance and reciprocate the action, like a garden where they can see fruit grow and love it, where vegetables can be cultivated, livestock all this and more they can see from young, learn and be better as they grow.
Our kids are our top priority, what would they see is quite up to us, we can fully control the situation, we can only try our best and pray they turn out to be well behaved children. So all these bad attitudes and personality needs to be put in check sooner or later, not for us but in preparation for those awesome being you can die for. Start caring for them now even before their existence, care by changing some wrong actions today, so we can expect they see what we need them to see in order to be better behaved kids.
Thanks For Reading.
This is actually a good advice/reminder even to people who are still single and are aiming to have a family of their own in the future. Good and mindful parenting is key to helping the community become better by having our own kids behaving properly and well.
