A child is not a smaller version of self and as such they
need guidance and instructions on how to be adults. A child will learn what
they live … they see and are given love they will learn to love… they see and
are given compassion they will learn to be compassionate… they see and experience
violence they will learn to be violent … Children on some level are like giant recording devices of environment and society, they will replay in their lives
what they see at home and in society … It is up to the parent to erase within their
child concepts that are destructive to themselves and society in general … you
can control what is within your home, not so much outside the home … so dialogue
with your child every day is important … you see a bad habit forming in your
child, try to redirect the behavior if
you need a third party to help you with your child’s behavior get help, no shame
in seeking help it is actually a good parent that does this … same with your
child’s academics if you see them struggling in school seek help for them …
there are many free programs in public schools that can help a child in various
areas of need. This will also teach the child there are other people in the
world other than “mom” who are looking out for them... so it teaches the child “community”…
Stay strong single moms
