Objective: Early education to give your child the confidence he or she needs to excel.
- Turn off the MF’n radio when kids under 12 are in the car. Instead of music lyrics they are remembering, it should be lessons. The radio is too filthy for any toddler or adolescent. Your kid doesn’t need to hear how wet a rapper is, or how many robberies they’ve committed.
- Punish every smart remark your child has. It isn’t cute and it leads to a pattern teaching them no punishment will come from acting out.
- Talk through situations with your child. Someone being mean to them, them being mean to others, is not acceptable. No one should be allowed to be bullied in their presence.
- Begin at the age of 2, record ABC’s and 123’s. Record spelling small words, and solve math and subtraction problem on the recording. Play them for your child while they sleep.
- Talk to them about money. Break down your check to them. What, and where the money is spent. Don’t be embarrassed. Be embarrassed about raising children that can’t read.
- Develop a set time before bed for reading and school work.
- If your child asks you a question that you can’t answer, tell the child you don’t know and learn how to solve the problem with the child.
- Limit the use of the internet. No child under the age of 14, or a freshman in high school should have total free access to the internet. The bad far outweighs the good when it comes to the internet.
- If you can’t sit down with them long enough to do their work, don’t expect them to.
- Don’t expose your child to Adult Situations. Dads, don’t dress your son up in your gang colors or flags. Moms, don’t allow your little girls to hear you and your friends talk about grown up business. A child has no place in a grown up conversation.
- Make sure your daycare is teaching your child real sh!t. Not just playing and watching movies. You are wasting your money if not.
Middle School Age and Up:
- Get with other parents to talk about how your child behaves outside of your presence. Within this group of parents, a study group for the children should happen. Each student looking out for and tutoring the others when needed. They are friends already, use it.
- Know what the child is learning and where your child stands in their work.
- Do volunteer work with your child. Show them there are people with less. There is always someone with less than you have.
- Get them involved with activities. Not just basketball and football. Debate teams, forensic teams, Soccer, foreign languages. Keep them occupied.
- Pray for them, Pray with them. Teach them about the greater good of people, and why it’s important show love.
- Have them donate a Christmas or Birthday gift as a show of sacrifice to others.
If you aren’t willing to do most of these, YOU’RE THE PROBLEM. Your child will most likely end up in the same f*c*ed up cycle you’re in or just barely made it out of. OH, AND YES, IT’S YOUR F*C*ING FAULT.
