TRAIN UP YOUR CHILD IN A WAY SHE SHOULD GROW

Good day beautiful people I trust we all had a beautiful week so far.
It is very important as parents to give proper attention and home training to your child(ren). The training you give to a child at their early age is what they will adhere to as they grow old. Just like a tree that is being planted, you can easily control, amend, or uproot the tree when it is still at an early stage because when it is fully matured, the process is never going to be easy any longer. But this is not the doing essence of this article but rather, i want to tell us why it is necessary to train up a child in a way that they should grow and what I also learnt from my childhood that has helped me throughout my entire life today.
Being a child, you wouldn't even be able to distinguish between the good and the evil nor your left from your right untill you're being taught these things. This is one of the exceptional responsibilities of a parent, training their child to me of a good influence and positive impact to her society.
I was lucky to have had a strick kind of parents after all. yeah I called it being lucky because indeed, i've now seen the good side of it and how it has helped carve my habits most especially.
I say this because some children can be very difficult to tame especially some ones i find in our current generation today. Back in my days, a little mistake or disobedience from you as a child can lead to a family meeting where everyone needs to sit down behind closed doors and put you in the middle as they judge your case and decide what to do with you. And when you manage to get spared or probably after dealing with you mercilessly you wouldn't dare in your entire life to repeat such act that lead to such anymore.
But today, you find a child misbehaving and you report them to their parents then you see the parents laughing and doing absolutely nothing about it. i fee like some parents are too busy for their kids, then why bring them up at first if you wouldn't have time to look after them and do he right thing. I sometimes see some set of kids who disobey their parents and even talk back at them in public. It is disheartening and this is all because of how they grew up under their parents after all. charity begins at home and that shows it's what they do at home which is bad.
You can warn a child today about lying and the consequences of lying but after that they'll still go ahead to lie another day. that is children for you and until you take full control of your body language and act strictly to every of your words, some children may never listen to you. You need the strictness and seriousness to tame a child most especially the stubborn types.
They are lots of lessons i learnt in my childhood and that was due to the strictness of my parents if not I wouldn't have learnt any.
so to portray my point, I am really thankful to the strict parents i had, we sometimes felt they hated us but as time goes on we realized that was the best way to put us in shape because kids can be very stubborn as we all know. The strict act was to easily impact morals into us so we can have a God fearing life and habit even when our parents are no longer with us. We always remember all what they did to us and all what they taught us in our childhoods and this is what we stick to till we get old and even transfer these morals to our children.
