Training up Children

Training up a child....this is way different than raising kids. Training means that we are to put effort into the development and charater of our children. When you train for something you put as much thought and time into it so that it will produce what you want.
  Training up children is the same way. How do we want our children to behave as adults or even as children? Is it ok for us to just allow our children to do anything they want to do? Is it ok to get them out of trouble because they made a mmistake? Is it wrong to expect them to deal with things themselves?
  If I want my child to act like a young lady or young man , it is my job to show them how to act and not just in public. When children see with their own eyes by our example, they will treat others like they are taught. If the only thing you do is yell and cuss and threaten others, then that is a lesson that will stay with children and will follow them in their lives. They will act the same way. here is a  true story.....
   "One day a little girl about 4 years old was playing with her babydoll. She sat there rocking the baby, feeding it, changed it's diaper then laid it down on the chair. A little while later the little girl picked up the baby, tried to feed it, tried to rock it even checked the diaper.As I sat there in the Doctor's office watching her, I noticed that she was getting upset. The little girl stood up off the floor with the babydoll put it in the chair again harder than she did the first time and said, "Your getting on my nerves!". The mother of this child looked at her and laughed."
   I thought to myself, I know what is going on in that home. This child will grow up to parent like she is being parenting unless her parents change their style.
  It is not ok to always get children out of trouble. I believe the first time a kid makes a mistake that as parents we are to help them but if they make it a habit of doing wrong, let them fix it by themselves. As parents we have to set examples and one of those things wedo not like to do is see our children fall. But unless they get their knees skined then they will never learn a valuable lesson. People fall and get hurt, that is life but what is needed is that as a parent I show my child how much he/she is loved and what is expected of them. It is wrong to always do for your child. How will they ever learn to deal with the world if they are never expected to try when they are young? Just something to think about.
