Parents--It's Not Okay!

It's not okay for parents to think--a child cussing is cute, when they can barely talk and most assuredly cannot use Standard English. It's not okay for parents to think--it's cute for a child to know all the "dirty dancing" moves and not know their alphabet, recognize numbers, parents' names, their address, or phone number. It's not okay for a child to start school and not understand "discipline and structure". It's not okay for a child to not be exposed to printed text before they start school. It's not okay for a child to hit a parent or other adult. It's not okay for pre-school aged children to be allowed to think they run a household and everyone in it. It's not okay for parent's to beat a child for every little thing they do (the punishment should fit the crime).What should be the norm in every home is this:  Parents are godly parents who understand the Word, have a right relationship with God, and know how to instruct their children in godliness, respecting authority, and in doing the right thing. PARENTS--stop cussing in front of your kids and then getting mad with them or thinking it's cute--it's not.  Stop allowing your child to SEE everything you do.  They will mimic your behavior in front of others who will wonder--why kind of parent are you?  Stop being lazy and teach your child everything they need to know BEFORE they start school--so the teacher can teach and not have to discipline.  Stop being ignorant about resources that are available to you and your children to make sure they have a good start in life and can succeed.  Stop blaming everyone else for what you either don't do or know how to do.  Stop making excuses for your addictions--men, drugs, alcohol, gambling, women, whatever it is and get help so your child won't be deprived.  Stop looking at others for solutions and look inside yourself and then seek God for answers that will help you to become a better person and a better person.  Do you really expect the person who sits around drinking, smoking, or gossiping with you to know any more than you know?  Ask yourself this question.  Do they really have your best interest in mind or your child's?  Do they really care about you or are they just flexing nonexistent faux intelligence?  If you really want to know how to raise a child right, Seek the advice of someone who has accomplished the goal, Read the Word, Develop a right relationship with God and He will lead you through it.  The only guidelines that are available for "good parenting" are written in THE WORD, not in the hearts of those who have not demonstrated their intelligence with actual demonstration of what they know.  Seek the Lord--remember that He always uses people to get His job done.  When parents learn to do what they need to do, we will have a better society, educated children, and a prosperous nation.  SEEK THE LORD--Parents and stop thinking your child's misconduct is cute.  It's Not Okay!  "In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will direct your path".
