raise good kids

Puberty is creeping up on us though and I’m already worried that not all of us will make it through alive. :)

I have just one child, so far… she is almost 3. Although it is hard at times, all-in-all, I’m raising a great little girl. I just instill the things my parents, (who were great) taught me. Mixed with newer values, because we have to watch what we say and do around our kids these days. We as parents can only do as much loving, teaching, disiplining, and soforth as we can give. We can’t stess ourselves out! That makes us not be there mentally for out children. They can do the rest of it… We just have to know that it was enough. We will know, when we see them shine. Or see them faulter. We’ll know we’ve done out job!!!!

to be consistent. If you tell them they will be punished for doing something bad/wrong, then follow through with it. As soon as they realize that you won’t follow through then it’s over, they’ll quit minding. I’m happy to say I have two adult children that I’m very proud of. My son is in the Army, and my daughter is in college. Neither have been in any serious trouble and they are loved by many.

I would love to learn a balance in allowing my children to be individuals and develop their own personalities, with using minimal influence. I want them to be independent, creative thinkers, kind, compassionate and giving. I want to be involved and not overbearing… I need my own life as well.

My kids are awesome…so far so good. A 2 year old and a 2 month old. Both boys. I could just eat them up!

The kind that are respectful to everyone they meet. Smart ones. Healthy ones. Hard-working, honest, and responsible ones. I’ve got two sons (29 months old and 8 months old), so my journey is just beginning and there is a LOT of work left to do.

there are too many shit-heads out there…God, please don’t let mine be that way! :-)

I have three grown daughters, and I would say that the best way to raise “good kids” is to start off right and do a great job in the first five years. After that, there is nothing that can wreck them. If you neglect them, ignore them, and fail to discipline and love them in the first five years, there is little that can be done to ever set things right. Most of all, love them when they are naughty. When they become adolescents, do not panic! They come through later, and become very grateful to you for putting up with them.

Currently my kids are super crazy. They tear up the house, don’t ask for things nicely and don’t have a soft voice.

They are getting better but my number 1 goal is to make them happy and make them behave at the same time, if this is possible.

just seeing what this is all about.
