A Thought

I wonder what can happen if we adults tell the kids what we already know and their reply can be different from "I Know". Kids know everything but yet know nothing, since we adults are still in the learning process. Life has become a little easier as you can organize your thoughts and feelings. Yes, organize. I mean, if you know a person is not good for you then it won't hurt to move. You know that that personality is not suitable in YOUR life.
As we move on, we learn other things. Like they way we want to be treated, the way we carry ourselves not many people do like. And that's ok because we are not here to be liked by everyone. If we can tell our kids that life has many things that you can choose from but not everything you WANT is for you. Some things you NEED may be better but as we grow, we learn how to make a wise decision.
Sometimes.
We adults also go through mistakes. That's why I love hanging out with senior citizens because they "been there done that" more than people at my age. (not too old lol) So I appreciate their chats about their youth, their advice in something’s in life, how picking a partner affects us as we age.
So what if I can tell my child what would be better for her, do you think that can work? How about if she finds a love and I see something wrong...should I tell her that isn’t going to work in the long run but enjoy it while it last BUT don't give him your heart?
I know children need to make their own mistakes to learn. I agree. But what if in other things we can help, like in work. Can we teach them to be more efficient, more humble? Well for those who are humble but those who are just feisty wow! LOL
I think if we all took a minute of our day to guide a child right we can have future adults making wiser choices than todays.
I tell my child, speak up to your teachers so you can get use to speaking what you feel BUT in a respectfully manner, using NO bad words. But she says they always right. Hmmmm, teachers always right? In my opinion (magic word) opinion, they not always right. No one is ever always right. They are humans too but what i can say is that a working hard, DEGREE teacher will most likely know a little more than you, according to the subject taught.
Well i do encourage her to speak up, respectfully, question what confuses you and you can learn something else other than what is being taught. One time it happen and by the look in my kids face... I was smiling.
See if we take a minute and teach our child(ren) to do a little more than the usual maybe a spark can come up to be a better human being, for themselves too. That's one thing I tell my child..."the person who wants to control you is afraid of growing up".
One thing I am defiantly trying to teach my kid is that no one is in this world, other than God, can make her feel a certain way she doesn't want to feel. Of course, we all feel all sorts of emotions in a point intended for the being. But if someone is doing for some stupidity then she controls that. She can control her own emotions. Feeling according to what that bully wants your giving in to their game and since my kid has a character of "I don't think so" then I try to prove to her that is the same....if you are not accepting what certain people do to you then don’t accept what those OTHER people want you to feel. Is a harder thing to do but repeating it, the brain becomes accustomed to hearing it…even without me there.

Thanks for passing through and reading!! Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!
