SHOW ME! TEACH ME! GUIDE ME!

Every child is special and unique in their own way. What all young, impressionable, childrenwant and need, is to learn. Each child has some sort of gift instilled inside of them that canbe utilized to make a child feel successful in some sort of way.

It is the responsibility of parents, guardians, teachers, preachers, leaders, and thosein authority over children, not only to protect, but to nurture, show, teach, and guide themto learn good moral values, common sense, and how to gain wisdom. There is not a singleindividual that is solely responsible for a child’s upbringing, successes, or failures. Thereare many people that aid in children’s upbringing. It is very important for adults and leadersto show the young what to do as well as tell them what to do. We can tell a child what todo all day long, but a child watches our every move, whether they say something about it ornot. They are impressionable. They will more than likely do what we do rather than do whatwe say.

In a child’s perspective, if a child see someone doing something or hear someone sayingsomething, a child may receive that as being acceptable and the way it should be no matterif it is right or wrong. Children are looking at the outward appearance or surface appearance.Many are not usually mature enough to understand what is within a person that contributesto a person actions or decisions. Children may only hear what we say or see what we dowithout really understanding why. That is why is it important to display the most positiveand appropriate actions before children. We are not perfect. We make mistakes. A lessoncan also be learned even in our mistakes by doing what is necessary to change a situationthat is wrong to make it right.

Our heart and mind is housed on the inside and this is where our decisions making processoriginates. These areas must be guarded from the bad and fed with the good, because itis usually from these areas that we base our decisions, aside from someone telling us whatto do. Some of the choices we make pave the way to our victories and successes or ourdestruction and demise. How we think comes from our mind. How we feel comes from ourheart. Therefore, how we think and feel usually determines what decision we make andactions we take. What a child learns and go through at an early age may be a determiningfactor in how easy or difficult it will be for them to make or choose good choices in life.

With good moral and spiritual values embedded inside of a person, there is somethingthere to inspire a person to make right choices or decisions.

If we care about our communities and our society, we can make changes. One way we canmake a change is through the way we nurture, lead, and guide our children. We must showthem, teach them, and guide them. This is how our children become positive, productive, andinfl uential citizens in our society.
