(1) Parent who give their children everything they ask for: Their children will grow up thinking they have a right to whatever they want.
(2) Parents who laugh when their children speak foul language against others, especially older persons: Children grow up thinking disrespect is normal and fun.
(3) Parents who do not reprimand children for bad behavior: Their children grow up thinking that there are no rules in society.
(4) Parents who cover up their children's misdeeds: _Their children grow up thinking they can do and undo with impunity; that they won't have to give account of their misdeeds.
(5) Parents who stop watching television because their children cry when they change channels: Children will grow up without a sense of respect for older persons.
(6) Parents who let their children listen to music that talks about women, encourages sex and violence? You can't sow thorns and reap cotton, can you?
(7) Parents who give their children money whenever they want: Such kids will grow up thinking money is easy and would steal when they can't get it correctly.
(8) Parents who always decide everything in favour of their children, whether they are right or not: Their children will grow up thinking that every correction is persecution.
THUS SAYS THE HOLY BOOK: Teach the child the path to follow, and even when he is older he will not deviate from it.
Albert Einstein said this:
"The world is dangerous to live in, not because of those who hurt, but because of those who watch and let it happen."
Then, Desmond TUTU added this:
"If you are neutral in a situation of injustice, it is because you have chosen the camp of the oppressor"
And Martin Luther King said this:
"Our life begins by stopping the day when we remain silent about serious things. What frightens me is not the oppression of the wicked, but the indifference of the good. .... then , in the end, we will remember, not the evils of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
Happy Children's Day
