What happened to Kids Fearing their Parents, and Disciplining? What Happened To Big Momma? Are we failing our Children?
The topic of children and discipline is a controversial one, and it seems that there is a growing trend of parents shirking their responsibilities in this area. Many parents are more concerned with being their child’s friend than with enforcing discipline and boundaries. This is resulting in a crisis, with children running amuck and harming others, including themselves.
One of the problems is that many parents feel guilty for not spending enough time with their children, and they try to make up for it by being lenient with them. However, this only leads to resentment and anger in the child when they are unable to cope with certain realities. Children need discipline and boundaries to feel secure and develop self-control.
It’s also important to involve parents in the education process. Teachers and schools should make better use of the resources that parents can provide, and parents should take on more responsibility for their children’s education.
Another factor that has contributed to the breakdown of discipline is the lack of support and community in today’s society. In the past, neighbors, extended family, and friends were more involved in each other’s lives, but now we are more isolated. This means that parents have fewer people to turn to for help and guidance.
The idea of “Big Momma” is also relevant to this discussion. In the past, grandmothers played an important role in raising children and instilling values. However, today’s grandmothers are often more interested in partying and having fun than in being a positive influence on their grandchildren.
Ultimately, it’s up to parents to take responsibility for their children’s behavior and development. We need to be willing to discipline our children, even if it’s not popular or politically correct. We need to show our children that we love them, teach them important values, and be there for them when they need us.
We are failing our children by not enforcing discipline and boundaries. We need to take responsibility for our children’s behavior and development and be willing to make tough decisions for their well-being. We also need to involve parents more in the education process and rebuild our communities to provide more support and guidance for parents and children alike.
