We are the parents so Step up!!.

We are the parents so 

Step up!!.

I think this topic touches us all. Everyone's children and grandchildren are raised different. I believe it's up to us as parents and grandparents to teach our children about the values in life while growing up. We can't keep blaming it on, Technology, TV, Games or iPhones or computers. Or their friends. It is our job as parents to set rules and explain why. 

Just because John and Debbie have the latest pricy gadgets and refuse to listen and would rather play games or talk on there iPhones doesn't mean if your child throws a tantrum you buy them whatever they want to keep them happy and out of your hair. 

Yes lack of respect, obese and laziness are out of hand. Now look around and ask yourself when is it time to step up and start changing the problem. Start thinking of your children and a future with them. Get involved show them a better life together. We can do this.

Parent's teach children values.

As parents we try to provide our children with the nurturing, love and support that they will need to grow in positive ways in life. Sometimes this leads to trying to keep our children happy by giving them all they ask for just to keep them satisfied and never doing without.Yes we all want our children to be happy. Always laughing and smiling without a care in the world. But remember our world is not a Magical Fantasy.

Should Spanking still be allowed, At Home and School.

Should Spanking still be allowed, At Home and School.
Would you support its use at your child's school?. I have posted a video. The of the Schools point of view. It is Explicit and a Graphic Video.

This will always be a touchy subject, Now where is the studies about giving our Schools
permission to use Corporal Punishment, on our children when entering our Public Schools.
All I keep hearing is how wrong it is for Parents to spank but I can say I have seen and heard what goes on in some local Schools.

My opinion, there's a difference in Spanking and Abuse from the, Schools and Parents. I believe spanking is ok. Beating out of "Anger" is not by a parent or School.

Below is a Video from the Board of Education on School Paddling the video is "Graphic".
Check out this video on YouTube:

If you're a parent, chances are you've stood at this crossroads before when trying to discipline your child: To spank or not to spank? Some people say it's constructive, but others think it's a form of abuse. So where do you draw the line between healthy and harmful?.

A recent study from Canadian, claims that spanking our child could cause developmental delays. We talked to Dr. Robert Needlman, a behavioral and developmental pediatrician to get his thoughts and Opinion.

His advice was In these terms of what spanking is?. This is not abuse - the data is mixed and there are many, many people who remember having been spanked by their parents as children.

That said, Dr. Needlman says spanking is absolutely not necessary. He says it teaches your kids that they can get their way through physical force, and it can evolve to something much worse.

Now if the parent spanks the child and the behavior doesn't get better, and the parent keeps spanking and the behavior doesn't get better, pretty soon you're in a position where the parent is actually abusing the child," says Dr. Needlman.

Study or no study, the fact is many adults were spanked as kids while not being abused, according to Dr. Needlman, No reason to go down that road over and over.
Corporal punishment is legal in 22 states. Would you support its use at your child's school?

Do you know where your "Teen" is?.

Do you know where your "Teen" is?.

This is an on going problem. "Teenage Drinking"
We have meetings after meetings to try and stop the source of "Who" and where the Liquor comes from.
Well the way I see it parties are being planned every night. The message is texted at school from a friend passed on and on.
I believe in today's world some parents are to busy working. Then when they get home there tired and don't really pay much attention when asked, Mom Amy wants me to stay the night to study our Social Studies test together do you care.
Mom replies no go ahead and I'll see you tomorrow night. Now after supper is done and dishes are washed you get time for a hot bath, Just soaking up some me time.
Then as your headed to bed, you hear a knock on the door at 11 p.m..
Well wonder who that could be. Two policemen standing at your door.

Mrs.Sparks are you the mother of Heather Sparks, Yes sir I am. Well her and her friend Amy was at a party drinking, Then on there way home they hit another vehicle head on, I'm sorry to say they both died, along with a 2 year old child and father in the vehicle they hit.

Falling down to me knees all I kept saying was How? could this have happened she never drank.

Now I spend my days asking myself why?. I should have talked with her, spent more time paying attention to what she was doing and I never took the time now she's gone and I can't makeup for what I should have done.

Parents spend the time with your children see what there doing don't just assume you know. We as parents must keep our children safe and be there.
Checking on your child's activities does not make you a bad "Parent" it just shows you care.
