As our children grow, they learn from everyone and everything around them. They see and hear all sorts of things that catch their attention and they will try to imitate many of them. When they are seeing and hearing positive things, it is a good thing and this will have a positive effect on their lives. However, many of the things they hear and see are not very positive and could have a devastating effect on their lives.
Parents should be the main teacher for their children and be providing them with a positive example to follow. However, many parents today do not spend a lot of time with their children due to a busy schedule or lack of awareness in how to parent a child properly, and their children are left to finding guidance in other ways. This could be from other family members or friends who may or may not be the best teachers. Some children are left a lot in the hands of the TV or Media babysitter, who will certainly teach your children to be selfish, disrespectful, greedy and to expect the world to give them whatever they desire. Is this the kind of child you want?? Is this the kind of child the world needs?? Of course not!!
We need to teach our children to be kind, loving and to respect other people so they will become responsible and confident adults. Children want to communicate with their parents and to spend time with them. If we are too busy to teach our children, they will learn from someone or something else.
So, WHO is teaching your children?
