Roll Models

 We have seen many people in our lives come and go, some we remember, most of them we don't. The only person that matters and never will be forgotten, is a person raising children and not spoiling them rotten. It's easy to give in and forget about discipline, where would that lead us, in this world that we live in. Full time, Part time or no time will be remembered by your children, when they are out of control, you're confused, because you can't think of a reason. Not concerned with a moment or a minute of their time, you think keeping them alive will do just fine. Attention is what any child on earth is out to seek, have you ever spoke with your child just to hear them speak? Their mind and their thoughts all come from you, don't ignore the slightest idea and pay attention to their view. Parents tend to think that a child can raise themselves, when all they look for is knowledge that you project from yourself. If the projection is baron the next step is the truth, a child will learn from someone even if its not you. When your child sounds foreign, peculiar, and bizarre, it's because you didn't think it was important to take it that far. Manners, politeness, well spoken, and clean, is definitely not something you can learn from the streets. We watch you and copy, whatever it might be, from your laziness, motivation, and everything that you eat. Confidence, insecurity, how strong, or how weak, the way you read to us, or don't, our bedtime stories. Your accomplishments, your triumphs, your blaze to glory, your downfall, your failures your incredible stories. Why do we mimic, copy, and repeat?, the fact that you're the parent is all the reason that we need. When we grow up and all you hear is praise, it says you did a great job raising your children that way. When all you here is negativity about how your child acts, it's because when they were young you would give them nothing to give back. A child is your sculpture you share with the world, whether it be strength in a boy or kindness in a girl. We see how easy it is to just give in, but wouldn't you drown if you weren't taught to swim? The world is watching, you wont realize until we're older, why we can't deal with all weight that rest on our shoulders. Ever wonder why a singer gives birth to a child that can sing, or a magician creates magic within they're offspring. An actor and attention, creating a life yearning fame, an athlete, a model, do it just the same. An intellect, a scientist create children who explore, how about an alcoholic, or an addict, need I say more. Now keep in mind there are those, an exceptional few. Who grow up and learn whatever their parents did, don't do. To the majority of us kids that want to be like our parents, don't set a bad example that would leave you embarrassed.  To those parents out there without a worry or a care., think of all the other parents that actually do care. You wont because that's you, and your child will be the same, nothing you could do when your child is too far and out of range. You lay fault and point blame never taking responsibility, it is that attitude you pass on intellect or stupidity. You will understand what has to be done, when it's much to late, it's easier to teach a child when they have a clean slate. So do what you can and so much more, depending on you we can be sweet, or rotten to the core.
