Never let family fall behind. If you see pieces that are being dropped offer assistance when possible and never let them stay down for to long. Your family is depending on your guidance and assurance. Do not let a day go by without letting them know you are there for them.

Criticize mistakes in a way that is understood and learned from and able to grow. Do not criticize to hurt the confidence of another. Be mindful on how the lesson is presented so the proper message is taught at the right time and accepted when givin the opportunity. One family member could change or save drama by a couple words pay close attention to your universal sounds. What is given is received. Wording and attitude means everything. We know our family’s line of tolerance and we should protect that line and not use them for leverage. Life will be less complicated without hate and negative vibes.

Family is not only blood, family is one that a bond and loyalty is created no matter the age of the relationship. We can’t choose our family but we can choose to either help guide them to the right place or show hard love by stepping back until a lesson is taught that you tried to help avoid..There is no in between if you try to stay neutral when wrong is being done and you are complicit to the situation and are not setting a good example. Turning your head to wrong doing means you have no respect for others nor yourself. What’s wrong should be fixed and what’s right should be praised.

Pick your kids up to show them the world the way you see it with your knowledge and lessons learned can help them from learning things the hard way and making hard life lessons that was previously made by you. A child learns behaviors from their environment not in their DNA. If you teach a kid right from wrong they can easily make the right choices. Pay close attention in what you preach and be an example of what you preach. If you teach one thing and do the exact opposite of your words to the children,it’s hypocritical. Do not try to teach something that you are not willing to do your self.

Kids are the future and how we raise them will determine success or failure. If we raise a incompetent generation then we will have a incompetent world. Teach to provide for ones self and not to take what is free because it simply easy. But when to push through when in a low spot to climb to higher grounds. Also taught how to stay on higher grounds by teaching endurance, motivation, self confidence, and perseverance. Take a young mind and plant the seed of mental stability and you will have a successful being. If you take a young mind and leave it empty with no foundation you have failed to provide the proper knowledge and tools to succeed in life. A life is taught either right or wrong it’s your responsibility to provide the foundation. Be careful how you present life,it can be perceived as a precious with unlimited opportunities or a burden of life long battles. Hoping for the best usually will end up a in a dreaming life and not reality of what is really deserved when worked for. You are your child’s hero. Remember a child will follow what they see no matter their self detriment not knowing right from wrong when it is handled incorrectly because you are the example in which they fallow. Make sure what you present is how you want them to handle life in ways that can benefit a young mind.A bad habit can develop into a life long trait if not corrected. Teach respect, loyalty,honesty and your child will be prepared for a successful life of confidence and high self esteem it stems from the roots that are planted by you and what you instill. You are the tour guide to their adventure.
