Mom Is Teaching

Cindy from Mom Talk asked me if I would like to participate in a Me Me and I am one of the few people who actually likes these.  Especially when I am either having a lull in entertainment or I’ve had so much going on that I don’t know where to start.  So, without further ado, you are getting a Me Me from Me.

This is by far the easiest one I’ve ever taken part in because there’s a topic, but not a number of items to give and really, no rules.  With that, the rules are….

Share with us and your readers a lesson that you learned from your own mom, a special mom in your life, or while raising your own children. There’s no right or wrong answers…just lessons that each of us can learn and implement with our own children.

Link your post back to this one, leave a comment below so we can visit and learn from you, and then tag 2-3 other moms to participate.

And, I’m thrilled that this is so open to allowing me to tell what I want to tell about parenting, motherhood, and children and do it on my own terms.  So, what I think I will discuss with you is the fact that the time has come for everyone to take a step back and teach our children to respect authority.  Allow our children to learn from their peers, from their teachers, their parents, the policeman on the corner, the firemen, the minister, the cashier at wal-mart, respect the adults in your life.

Now, I know that there are some bad people out there.  And, that is the parents responsibility to teach the children the difference in good and bad but in general, if our children are taught to respect authority figures, their minister, the janitor at their job, their peers, their bosses, etc….then I think our children, our teens, our young adults, the next generation that will be leading our world will know how to make better decisions. 

If children are taught to respect the people who are good to them, it will be easier for them recognize and stay away from the adult figures who are up to no-good. 

So, please, go out, teach your child to respect and teach them to do it through your own actions.  Make it work, one way or another.

I’m only tagging one person and if you read any of my other blogs, you’ll see who I tagged…..it will be quite a surprise.
