The telephone ring; it's a call from your child's teacher. The teacher
is calling to inform you that your child has been disrespectful and
disruptive in school. You calmly listen to the comments being made
about your child and wonder in awl. It's a fact children will be
children regardless of where they are at. Over the years I've noticed
how my own child has from time to time made me look and feel embarrass
because of her actions. I have come to the conclusion to understand
and realize she's responsible for her own actions. I can only enforce
the ground rules and help correct my child's bad behavior with
appropriate disciplinary action to convince her she's only causing
harm to herself and no one else.
The moment we as parents can teach this simple truth to our children,
the sooner they will begin to learn they are truly responsible for
what they think, say, and do. Children are responsible for their own
actions. As your child continues to grow and do what they want to do
in life, they will soon realize the way they act in public can make or
break them to where they could become like a magnet to attract others
to themselves in a positive manner; or they could become like the
garbage in the kitchen that stinks and needs to be taken outdoors and
put in the garbage can to the degree where no one wants to be around
them. The choices children make today will determine there outlook on
life. We all make mistakes, but then there should be a learning curve
and process that only parents can give with correcting and directing
their children to be the best citizens in their community and to make
an impact on the world. The next your child and mine gets out of line
and begins to clown and act a fool in public we should make sure they
pay the price for their actions....
