The Rolemodel of a Man

Old parental admonition, "Don't do as I do, do as I say?" is not true. Parents must not worry that children never listen to them; they must worry that children are always watching them. If there is anything that they wish to change in the child, they should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in themselves.

Parents are responsible for the man their child will be.The first influence of  the child is the home.But what happens to our society today that parent and child have an unhealthy relationship? That many children belongs to juvenile delinquents? Are parents the one to be blame?

 

Parent-child relationship nowadays is depressing. Many parents tend   to   hate their children as well as children ending up hating their parents. Addiction to drugs, liquors cigarettes etc.  is still a shock to many parents but they don’t know that the main cause is the home which is the first influence to their children’s personality and behavior.

Joyce Maynard   said   that as much as parents watch to see what their children do with their lives, children  are also watching parents to see what  they do with themselves. Parents can't tell children to reach for the sun.  All they can do is reach for it  themselves.

 

Children eyed their parents with adoration at their young age. All the things that their parents are doing seemed to be right in children’s eyes. That’s why parents must be careful in setting examples to their children, for action speak louder than words.

 

Children need   not a rod or a spank or even words but actions. They need parents who are willing to be a good example to them . A role model not a critic.

 

Old parental admonition, "Don't do as I do, do as I say?"   is not true. Parents must not   worry that children never listen to them; they must  worry that children are always watching them.  If there is anything that they wish to change in the child, they   should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in themselves.

 

Always remember that a child is a father of a man.   Therefore   what's done to children, they will also do to society when they become   men.
