Today’s Generation

Today’s generations need guidance and love more than ever before.  They need to be taught with patience and great wisdom.  They communicate though phones, tablets and spent many hours sending text messages, chatting with friends and with strangers.  They forget how to say thank you and how to be nice to their parents.  They sing slogans of all kinds and sometimes do not understand right and wrong.  Many have lost their innocence at a young age and have not enjoyed their childhood.  What should be done?  Train up your child in the way he/she should go. 

Children need nurturing and joy.  They learn quickly and want to obey.  Discipline as someone said once is “Heaven’s first command”.  When there is discipline and love and joy in a family, it produces peace.  Peace can be quickly seen in children who are being raised in a godly, happy and safe environment.  

Parents think that they no longer have control over their children.  They are afraid to say no.  They are afraid to be rejected by their own children.  You can say no but be ready to explain why.  Love bears and endures all things. Love never fails.  You will wrestle but when you use the love factor, things are much better.  Talk to your children.  Be part of what they are doing.  Find out what happened at school today.  They want to tell you what is going on in their lives.  They can be lonely even if they are looking tough.  Help them. Teach them.  If you do not assist and teach them, they will learn the wrong way and they will suffer for the rest of their lives.   

Children are blessings of the Lord.  They are to be loved and nurtured in the admonition of the Lord.  It is very unacceptable to abuse them. They are to be treasured and protected by their parents.  They are to be taught daily with consistency.  They love when their parents correct them because they want to acquire great wisdom to be able to pass it on to their own children.  They are cute but if they are not taught properly, they could be a pain to live with.  They want guidance and instructions from their parents and love to be told what to do.  They do not know everything as they often say. They expect their parents to teach them all things and to have the answers to all of their problem
