Loving your children doesn t mean giving them everything they want. Too often parents protect their children when they are in trouble. When our government mandated that there could no longer be any reference to God or prayer in schools they contributed to the breakdown of respect for fellow human beings. We need to reward our children for participating in programs that help others. To help others is to help ourselves.
Children learn by doing.
In this country today there is so much that needs to be done. Caring for others, cleaning the environment up, and using our time to improve our lives and those of our country are issues we should address. Rewarding those children who participate with trips, scholarships, and other benefits could be an incentive to do good. The t.v., music, and movie industry must regulate the violent programs they produce. Devices can be attached to television sets to block violent programs.
