Topic: Our children should be our first priority - page 2. (Read 426 times)

Children are priority to every parents that's is why parents need to give the best they have to their children. If parents allows children to go in the wrong way, in time coming they will be a problem to their parents that may even cause serious problems to the health of parents. A good child always give parents rest of mind.

The reason to teach the children about God is, it's hard to learn when you are an adult, and have already made up your mind.

The logical reason for teaching about God is something like this...

If people don't know about God, where are they going to get training to live with other people properly? If you don't have training about and from God, what laws are you going to follow? The laws you have are laws that have been set in place because of God training. We all obey those laws naturally, because somewhere in the past, our ancestors believed in God, and the laws from God have been handed down in, at least, some small way.

There isn't any law training without God. Even Buddhism (has no clear God) doesn't clearly and concisely present laws to the people. The simple idea of God is about authority so that laws are required, because a Greater Authority requires them.

So, why do we need laws? Without laws we remain savages regarding other people. With laws we know how to act with other people so that we can form relationships, and can build cities together, and do other great works together.

This whole life is built on God, already. Teach the children about God so that they live in the best relationship with others that they can... so there is peace, and improvement in life.

Children are like a small planting that you plant with your hand in suitable soil and nurture and water it every day until it grows and grows, when you will get a beautiful and good plant, but if you plant it in an unsuitable environment and do not take care of it well, it will wither and may die, the same for children whenever you teach them well If you take care of their education and improve their morals, you will get good children who will contribute to the development of their society.
But if there is parental neglect and constant problems at home, it is natural that you will have children who have many problems and may deviate towards criminality and become a burden on society that has to get rid of them.

It all sums up on your belief, if you think that it's good and the best teaching to have them fear God, teach them based on what you belief. But if you don't have any belief when it comes to these things, still teach them to at least obey you as your parent and have them fear of your anger upon doing bad things.

After making them realize that they did the wrong thing as you saw them your anger, you'll just have to calm down and show them that the next time they do it, you'll be the same and there's the comfort that you'll show to them.

It's all about being responsible as a parent but yeah, each parent has their own way of disciplining their children. It may work for the others and not for you so, find your best way to discipline them.

The fear of God in everybody is good. Why? Because God blesses those who understand that He exists, and is the sole controller of, and authority over everything.

People respect a police officer. Why? Because he has a gun, and has the authority to use it when necessary. How much more should a person respect God Who has control over their lives in every aspect?

The "fear" part isn't something that needs to be trained into anyone, even children. Kids automatically fear when Dad or Mom gets really angry, and has a stick to strike them with. In the same way, let the reality of the existence of Almighty God be trained into their lives, and they will automatically fear the Great Power, at least to some extent.

The biggest reason why to teach children about God is that God blesses those who understand that He exists. The blessing is found in the fact that He will save them from death when they understand about the Son of God, Jesus. You love your kids. Don't you want them to have eternal life with you in the joys of Heaven?

I like everything you have, but why "Creat the fear of God in them"? Do you think fear is a good thing to teach your child?

Just as the sword is strong in the hand of the giant, so are the children to their parents, and also parents must not left their responsibility undone o er the children, we've got a lot of families that have more than three children and they were all well taken care of, while another with just a child and still enjoy parental care, number is not a barrier or excuss, parents must exercise their best of abilities on their children just as it was treated good on them, at the end of it all, they will have part of responsibilities attached to the child upbringings owed on them if they fail to do so.

The two sentences are almost opposite in meaning.

When you sow fear in the human soul, it is not permissible to talk about happiness after it, except with the logic of blind faith.
Do we really have to instill fears of any kind in the minds of children in order to live fully happiness or to live an enjoyable life experience? I don't think so personally.

I think that it is better to leave the freedom to them to determine their religious and ideological choices, because our right to spread our beliefs and what we believe in must be done with conscious minds that have completed their development and not on the minds of children who we will cancel their right to choose what they would like to be convinced of when they grow up.

Make cities big. Then advertise in ways that get people to move there. Then work out plans to steal from the people... who can afford to make skyscrapers? Then change the mindset of the children so that they continue to give their money to their controllers.

Moving out of the big cities, and learning how to live off the land, is one of the best things to do for your children. It will be a lot of work. Should do it before having kids. Freedom in the country is great, watching the sun come up without having to look through smog.

Well yeah but its really difficult task to be a parent I mean the perfect parent than anything in this world.

Kids are going to follow their parents and society, so as a parent if they care about how their kids wanted to be then teach the moral lessons and actual knowledge instead of forcing them for graduation.

Yeah, parents must ensure they provide all the basic needs that children should have. Food, clothing, shelter, education, health care, etc are all important needs parents must ensure they provide. But apart from these needs, parents must ensure they imbibe the right attitude and behavior in their children.
And the best way of imbibe these true and pure virtues is by role modelling. Parents must ensure they act, talk and behviourthey way they want their kids to.

They must be taught the virtue of patience, hard work, love and selflessness at a very tender age.Parents should teach them to Love God because He is the Creator and Giver of Life. They must be taught how to love their neighbour as themselves. This would make them become good members of the society. And they must also learn to love themselves the way they are. They don't need to change their sex, physical appearance or body structure to become acceptable in the society.  

If God isn't your first priority, your children might not even be your second.

Parenting is the hardest job that require full involvement of both the father and the mother. Most parents these days want their children to have all the things they don't have when they were younger, this makes them work more and have less time for parenting. The worst thing you can do for your children is just ignore them and allow nature to take its course. Plan on training them but never get around to it. Children need the constant sunshine of their parents’ smile and approval. They need to be pointed in the right direction day after day.

We can't dictate which should be someone's priority if they wish other for, anyway parents should give good life to their kids and they even dedicate their whole life for their growth, education and ensuring the good future but how many kids understand all the efforts by the parents? Most kids take all these for granted and waste their life.

Also in addition to this, children are the heritage of parents and either a person gives birth or not it is still someone's else's child that will bury such persons at old age, children were expected to give regards to everyone they have an encounter with regardless of being their parents or not, because that adults stage will sure speak on them too one day which is an inevitable old age that we will all pass through, parents should learn to teach their children while yound just as a fish can only tend to bend while still fresh, if dried it might be already too late to do.

Every child deserves a good parental treatment and concern,  children can't determine how they can live but only parent have the responsibility to plan and pattern them better for the future.  Children are like a tender tree that the owner can choose to bend it that will suit him, that is how children are like.

you won't be able to teach  your kid if you give them all they want. i really would want my kid to go through all the kinds of problems even when he still is a kid because i don't want him to think of suicide with just a simple broken heart or dumped by a girl.

its why i want him to experienced getting bullied and see how he would act. if he avoid those kids, then good. if he fights back then good for he finds solutions.

The fear of God is the most important part of life-training, for everyone.

Since God created everything, He has control of everything. He works for people and their freedom, in perfect ways that match how people think of Him, and whatever relationship they have with Him.

The best and greatest thing God does for people is to offer them eternal life in Heaven. Everything else is secondary.

It's time for all people to consciously recognize that God exists, and to learn about Him and His love that He has for all people. Fear or threat of loss is nothing compared with the joys of Heaven that will be gained... through respectfully and properly acknowledging God.

My only omission from your list. Teach them about culture, not instilling god-fearing hyperbole about the deepest parts of hell or jahannam in order to coerce young minds into submission. Children don't need religion to live morally virtuous lives, and they don't need to be fearful of god in order to make good decisions. We live in the most peaceful time in human history because we've escaped the dogma that's contributed to some of the deadliest wars in history. No need to go back.

I quite agree with you about birth control most especially in Africa but stating the number to be between 3 maximum Is what I don't go with. Rather it should be to the number of ones capabilities. Our grandparents where able to take care of more than 20 children. Although times have change but there are still people that could easily take care of 10+ children. Moreover some of us wouldn't have been birthed if it had stopped at number 3
