Honour thy Children.

Well dear according to Rizal's mother "Spare the rod and spoil the child" This is a notion that children will only flourish if punished, physically or otherwise, for any wrongdoings and it is written in the bible, proverbs 13-4 ( King James Version ): He that spareth his rod hateth his son. Children will not do what the parents says, since they will do what the parents have modeled. In our modern times we cannot change what is inevitable but children model the behaviors that the parent has presented to them time and time again. The future generation of the world ( our children )will prosper psychologically when devotion and effort is put into their upbringing. So , there is nothing to be afraid of.

YEAh..that's how modern generation affects each and everybody's life ...we can't argue the fact that in the middle of new ages many had changes even to the least factor in life and family-considered concepts.. .... well..what else's shall we do elder individual is must show goodness to the least possible to the younger one's ... @jam@ ~live life~ keep it simple***

Parents have always been afraid of their kids, but in the old days they were better equipped to hide that fact. When I think of my upbringing in the Caribbean, we lived in a society of very strong moral values, based mainly on the teachings and philosophy of the Bible. In that moral and social climate, kids knew their place, and showed proper respect not only to their parents, but also to all the adults they met. That applied particularly to figures of authority, like preachers, teachers, policemen, nurses and doctors. As we look around us today and try to judge the massive breakdown in that natural order, it throws up a lot of questions, but the central one remains...are we as a society bringing up our children in the right way to ensure a happy social order tomorrow?

So are you afraid of your kid? Hmm I wont allow that with my kids. They are still afraid of us specially to my wife, lol. Though you are right, its too different already compared to our times, maybe because children now are more knowledgeable than us before? Or because parents now are more hardheaded or stubborn than before?

it's the new generation....i always remember our days. we live with more values before.
