Recently as a black man i realised that education is not only taught in the classroom. So many people believe that as long as they bring their children to school everyday thats it. Kids today quite honestly have it better that us. they are more programs avaliable, we have distance education programs and a whole host of things that we didn't have in our day.
But today i find there is an alarming need to reacess the cost of education especially among the black and latino couumnities of America. We all know about the whole standing or acheivements as it relates to these too ethnic groups compared to the white social class.
We know of all the social injustice, these are harsh realities but we need to be real and see each other as our brothers and sisters all human.
Education
Parents sometimes forget that children today will be adults tomorrow. Some tend to want to push responsibility on others and when the child then rebels want to know which avenue to take to get this child back on the right track, well no it doesn't occur like that
Children need to feel like they are part of something special, that they are loved and that someone can be firm, encouraging and still loving at the same time. We need as parents to understand that although circumstances are sometines not always encouraging and delightful that we need to show our children all the love and care and respect as parents. a friend once told me "How will they know if you dont show them."
Things Parents Can Do to Help Their Children
1) Have a special time of the day with your child so you can spend quality time with your child this helps create a bond of repsect and love between parent and child.
2) Develop positive means as to help develop the character of the child.
3) Be Firm, this makes the child know that there is someone there who cares about them
and is interested in their development as a child.
4) Go in stages, everything can't happen overnight spendtime and you will see progress.
5) Be patient, you will see the fruits of your labor.
6) Love the good the bad and the ugly.
