Introduction
ОглавлениеAs parents, many of us face various trials and tribulations. Just when you think that you have seen it all, something new happens that you have not encountered yet.
Every child is different and with each child comes an entirely new set of experiences.
Someone once said that if being a parent was a paying gig, then some of us would be the richest people in the world. But unfortunately, it is not.
And raising kids is getting harder and harder each and every day.
So as parents, we constantly have to keep reinventing the parenting wheel. We have to constantly be aware of what is going on in the world around us and how to deal with each situation that we go through.
The job of parenting a child never ends. Even after you are retired and have all of your children married off, you are still a parent.
Whether or not your kids come to you for parenting advice or simply to have a shoulder to cry on when something bad happens, your children will still need you.
In today’s society, it has become much harder to raise children that are well rounded adults. The American Psychiatric Association stated that before a child turns 18, they will have witnessed approximately 18,000 simulated murders and 200,000 acts of violence as a result of watching television and movies.
It has been reported that 46% of high school students in the U.S. have had sexual intercourse. Roughly 1 in 4 sexually active teens have been diagnosed with an STD.
During the fall 2001- spring 2002 television season, 64% of all television shows depicted sexual content, resulting in 4.4 scenes per hour.
That same study also showed that students that were well guided by parents were more likely to remain virgins throughout high school.
This book will show you everything that we have found to have worked in raising kids to become better adults.
We will show various methodologies that have worked in getting you to the point where your children will make the right choices not because they have to, but because they want to. None of what we have here is completely full proof, so you will have to experiment and see what exactly works the best for you and your family.
We hope that you enjoy what we have to offer and that you find much success in implementing the ideas that we have set forth.
