When a child is growing up, progressing through childhood, everything that child sees, hears, and experiences, has some effect on the adult future of that child.

Many parents of today are either too busy or too lazy to raise their children properly. Their lives are primarily about them and their children have become a distraction to their way of life.

Parents – YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOUR CHILD BECOMES!

If you are not raising your children in a loving, nurturing environment, you may be shaping a dark future for those children. If you are neglecting, ignoring or abusing your children in any way you may be hurting them in more ways than you are aware of.

The human brain is highly programmable, and once something gets in, and is stored, it is almost impossible to get it out. De-programming the human brain has proven to be next to impossible and that is why medical/mental health has resorted to medication as their primary choice of treatment.

Things, issues, experiences that a child goes through will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Maybe not on the surface, but they will always be there somewhere.

For example, if you have a child who is being bullied, that child will carry anger into adulthood. If you have a child who is being bullied, you need to deal with that NOW in a positive way. Not later, not tomorrow, not next week – now! If you are abusing, neglecting, or ignoring your children, you need to put your focus, and your love, on them NOW. They don’t have anyone else. If you are so lazy or distracted that you feel you can allow them to make their decisions, if you feel that they should or can be treated like adults, you may be sentencing them to an adult life of misery.

If you allow them to ignore you when you tell them to STOP, they will continue ignoring you. If you allow them to choose their own diet, they will end up obese and/or unhealthy. If you allow them to play video games and watch TV instead of studying with them, they will end up as stupid.

For some of you it is already too late, and only God’s intervention can change your child’s future.

When my children were growing up, we had a next door neighbor, who was always complaining about my kids. She was very nit-picky about what MY kids did. My kids turned out fine, but her only son turned out to be a serial killer and is doing life in state prison. Why? God only knows, but I’m betting that his mother was abusive to him to a point that his anger prevailed as rage, into adulthood.

PLEASE – Love your children so much that they will become loving, caring adults. Love is not just a word. It requires action. Make them the focus of your life. You will never regret it.

I completely agree and totally second this, very good post. A lot of parents need to hear this.

However I think most of us here are pretty good to go, considering we ARE wasting most of our time in a parenting forum, after all.
