Failure to Parent

It seems that children have run amok these days as badly behaved, poorly disciplined, and out-of-control children can be seen just about everywhere in society. It is difficult to enjoy the park, the cafe, or the movies without having to deal with children’s and young adult’s abhorrent speech and rebellious attitude. Schools have become increasingly dangerous as insubordinate and disrespectful children fill the classrooms. It was reported that in 2009 approximately 46,000 primary pupils were either suspended or expelled from school, and 4,000 of these children were less than 5 years of age. Many people would like to blame an immoral society for the lack of discipline and respect apparent in these children, but I will dare to say that it is not society’s job to raise these children. Parents cannot fault anyone for their child’s bad behaviour other than themselves.

Because of modern day parents’ failure to adequately and properly parent their children, children have taken it upon themselves to establish rules of right and wrong. It is not the responsibility of the schools, the babysitter, the nanny, or the government to instill values and morals in children. While all of these individuals and organizations can confirm these values and morals, it is the parents’ job to teach and discipline their children. As much as children fight against rules and established boundaries, they desperately need rules and boundaries as they provide children with a sense of security and set limitations. Without rules and boundaries, children will be scared, angry, and resentful – just as we see that many children are today.

Parents need to step-up and take responsibility for their children. Parents need to look at themselves and see where they have failed as parents. Parents need to be honest with them. If parents have put work, holiday, or anything else before the needs of their children, this lack of time and attention will be evident in their child’s behaviour and attitude. Disrespectful, arrogant, rebellious, angry, depressed, withdrawn, and uncontrollable children are the direct result of a parent’s failure to do their most basic job – parent their children.

The Importance of Reading to Children

Just about everyone can appreciate the importance of reading and can understand the value that reading brings to our daily lives. We are bombarded by words at every turn, and we all probably read more words in a day than we are even aware. From billboards to work documents to labels on food packages, reading is an essential part of our lives. Of all of the many things that adults read during the day, one of the most important and probably the most underrated type of reading that adults participate in is reading to their children. This is especially true of bedtime stories. Bedtime stories are an important part of a child’s nightly routine, and parents should make every effort to make bedtime reading a top priority.

As the child reaches for the same book again the parent cringes at the thought of having to read this book one more time. Parents may wonder why their child has not grown tired of this book. Even though the child may have a great number of books from which to choose, he or she may choose the same book every night. The reason for this is that children need repetition. Repetition makes them feel safe and secure, and repetition at night in the form of their favorite bedtime story helps the child to feel comfortable and relaxed. When the child feels comfortable and relaxed sleep comes more easily. While the parent may still have to read the same bedtime story over and over again, they could make it a little more interesting by adding their own twist to the story or parents could have the child participate in the story by filling in words or creating his or her own version of the story. The important part of this nightly repetition is helping the child feel safe and protected.

Not only does reading to children at night help them feel safe and secure, but it also establishes a stronger bond or connection between the parent and child. Children appreciate the uninterrupted one-on-one time that stories at bedtime bring. As children grow older they will remember these times spent with their parents and cherish these sweet and precious memories. Through bedtime stories, parents establish the importance of reading in the minds of their youngsters by showing their children that reading is fun and enjoyable. Children’s imaginations and creativity are challenged and expanded through reading. There are many, many benefits to reading to one’s children, and parents should take this task as seriously as they take any other.
