Children Are Responsible For Their Own Actions

The telephone ring; it's a call from your child's teacher. The teacher is calling to inform you that your child has been disrespectful and disruptive in school. You calmly listen to the comments being made about your child and wonder in awl. It's a fact children will be children regardless of where they are at. Over the years I've noticed how my own child has from time to time made me look and feel embarrass because of her actions. I have come to the conclusion to understand and realize she's responsible for her own actions. I can only enforce the ground rules and help correct my child's bad behavior with appropriate disciplinary action to convince her she's only causing harm to herself and no one else.

The moment we as parents can teach this simple truth to our children, the sooner they will begin to learn they are truly responsible for what they think, say, and do. Children are responsible for their own actions. As your child continues to grow and do what they want to do in life, they will soon realize the way they act in public can make or break them to where they could become like a magnet to attract others to themselves in a positive manner; or they could become like the garbage in the kitchen that stinks and needs to be taken outdoors and put in the garbage can to the degree where no one wants to be around them. The choices children make today will determine there outlook on life. We all make mistakes, but then there should be a learning curve and process that only parents can give with correcting and directing their children to be the best citizens in their community and to make an impact on the world. The next your child and mine gets out of line and begins to clown and act a fool in public we should make sure they pay the price for their actions.

The bible is very clear with the universal law whatsoever a man sows, that he shall reap. Good behavior, producing great rewards. Bad behavior will result in consequences that could be painful for the moment, but it should result in a changed behavior and new attitude eventually. Children have to learn, just like you and I had to learn. The difference and impact I'm having with raising my daughter today is education. And I don't mean text-book education. I mean life experience and life expectations we can pass on to our children today. The life experience you share with your child, age discretion required the earlier your child will realize how blessed and fortunate they really are to have parents that really do care what's best for them. Our children may not understand all of this right now, but once they are grown and on their own; they will have flashbacks to the times when you took the time to educate, motivate, inspire, and encouraged them to be the best they could be across the board. All of life's expectations are depended on our own actions. Teach your children today, they are responsible for their own actions.

Your child or children are an asset to you and not a liability. Look, Children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of your womb is a reward. Psalm 127:3.
