PARENTS WAKE UP CALL

PARENTS WAKE UP CALL

Image result for a black dad, mum and a kid
Years back, poor mostly illiterate parents produced
  • Doctors
  • Engineers
  • Scientists
  • Accountants
  • lawyers
  • Architects
  • Pharmacists
  • Professors etc.
I would refer to this group as group A category of children
These Group 'A' children struggled on their own after primary 6 or grade12, to become notable personalities. Most of them
  • Trekked to school 'barefooted
  • went to farms
  • fetched water and firewood for their various homes.
  • cared for domestic animals like goat, sheep, cows etc.
  • did some work including trading after school to survive
Now Group 'A' have now become parents themselves are producing Group 'B' children.
These group B  children are
  •  Pampered
  • helped in their homework or home assignments from nursery school through secondary school to higher institution. some parents even encourage their children to cheat in examinations by giving them money to pay exam mercenaries to have very excellent results and also money to pay lecturers for sorting when they are in the universities.
  • chauffer driven to very expensive schools or are sent abroad to study
  • they watch movies from morning till dawn during school break
  • They are treated like baby kings and queens
  • They don't do any household chores
  • Food is put on the table for them  and their plates are removed and washed by parents or house helps
  • They are given very expensive cars to move around and also big pocket monies which are wasted on frivolous things.
In spite of all these ,only few can speak good English or even write it correctly. Group 'A' parents cared for their own parents when they were getting old because they were brought up with discipline and hard work while most Group 'B' children are still struggling to find their feet. Most of them device "easy ways" of making money like 419 and other dubious activities in order to survive.
WHERE DO YOU BELONG?
  • Reduce the pampering and the unnecessary help you offer to your children.
  • Let your children grow in wisdom , intelligence and strength
  • Let them face the truth and realities of life. Teach to grow and become independent adults. teach them to
  • fear God
  • develop confidence in themselves
Parents discipline your children to become disciplined adults useful and not useless
MAY GOD HELP US
