Topic: Parenting 1.0

Hope grace and mercy find you.

In this discussion we would be looking at another episode of parenting. 

We must abreast ourselves with certain skills and experience to train the 21st Century Child.

We cannot continue to train and nurture today's generation the way we were taught. 

The Rod today may not be the same Rod we were trained with. Today's Rod may be kind words, Positive Discipline Tools, etc. 

We must brace ourselves for the task ahead. The task ahead is uncertain. But, I can guarantee you this - your children would blow your mind. 

Everything is changing and would continue to change. Society today does not see punishment as an exercise of inflicting pain on children. 

They see punishment as a corrective mechanism bucked by love, compassion, kind words and examplary life. 

We cannot behave in a certain way and expect our children to behave the other way. Those days of do as I say and Not What I do is gone forever.

We must not loose sight of the fact that what today's child can do, yesterday's child has no idea. 

Let us continue to learn modern ways of parenting whiles we say good bye to archaic and antiquated parenting techniques that we have grown to learn. 

Read the following extract on the UN Convention on the Rights of Children. 

The Convention recognizes that parents have the primaryr role in bringing up children. Parents are their children’s most important teachers, role models and guides. But parents are not their children’s owners. Human rights principles guarantee that no person may be the property of another.

Thank you.
