We are parents of today and with one voice,we are good to go

they go wrong because of parental failures

Just a few days ago,we awoke to the most shocking news here in my country of a thirteen year old  who allegedly stabbed to death an eleven year old girl.There were reports that his actions were after the girl refused to give in to his sexual advances.This is so sad,an incident that came along with hard to answer questions and it brought a circle of nightmares because the two youngsters belonged to families that were friends.

This is an incident that may have caught many off-guard but to some extent it is a wake-up call to make us realize that our children as young as they may be,are capable of anything.As per our education curriculum,a thirteen year old is still in his primary school level of education and has few more years before completion of education.But the question here,what does this boy think he knows and for surely feels he need to have.

Even as we say times are changing,we need to step up our roles as parents.This is not the time to tell your daughters that they should not play with boys and to your sons that they are too young to comprehend romance issues.It is now obvious that sex education is important to our children and so as parents its our role to talk to our children on this issue.What’s more we should not leave everything  to the teachers since there is a lot more that ought to be done.

As parents we ought to know that parenting is not only watching your child grow up into a young man or woman but there is more to growing up.Parenting should now be taken seriously like a  full-time job that should have lots of energies channeled through.Even as want our children to grow up into responsible and successful adults,we should also take time to enlighten them more in terms of the bodily changes that came about in different phases of their life.For example a child who is orally exposed on what puberty is all about is better placed than one who has no one to tell him or her about these issues.

Why The Fall-out Of The Children and Their Parents?

Parenting is a full time job and parents who give birth to a child definitely know that they have a role to play in ensuring that their child grows up into a responsible adult.A newborn brings a bundle of joy to any family and this calls for celebrations.Any parent wants what is best for their child but at times it becomes hard to understand whether some children sees the concern of their parents as far as their welfare is concerned.

Just a few days ago,we were treated to some shocking news of a twenty five years old young man who stabbed his father about eighteen times who then succumbed to these injuries while undergoing treatment in the hospital.According to the reports given ,an argument ensued between the father and his son after the former inquired why he failed to take his exams in the flight course that he was undertaking.

Such a simple question cost a father his life,taken by the son who would even have killed the sister who tried to stop him from attacking their father only that she ran off and locked herself up in the bedroom.There are other reports that the young man had still abandoned another course incomplete but with his father determined to have his son to acquire a career,he still took him to a different course.

Such an incident makes one wonder who is failing who or who is to blame because this is an indication something is wrong in the family setting that we have because there has been other incidents where children have killed their parents.Is it that at times parents have very high expectations of what their children ought to achieve or have the children become too arrogant such that they think that their parents have no business in what they do or not do?

Whatever the case something is very wrong because no parent who has watched his son or daughter grow up would ever think that the same child would the same reason for his resting in the grave.Let’s look what really changes especially the relationship with our children as they grow up.
