Disllusionment with Children growing up

Children are a beautiful sculpture sent by God to parents for us to input wisdom of difficult life experiences to help guide them in life. The disillusionment that parents encounter with raising children, in my opinion, is that we think our children will embrace the lessons taught by us and that they will apply them in their lives. Us as parent must realize that our children are individuals who will follow their minds and not necessarily the path we taught them to walk on.

I've received advice from several of older people, concerning their beliefs that children follow what you do and not what you say and vise versa. This advise left me confused, because I really wanted to raise a child that was going to be a contribute to this cold world in a Godly way. As a result of my confusion, I turned to the bible for examples to teach me as well as my child. The bible was and is, a good method to use because it has so many moral illustration for all humans to learn from.

Disillusion can come in many forms with our expectation of raising children.

However, I found out through years of learning and teaching that children will have so many different influences to where it's hard to make your influence in their lives top priority. My advise to parents is to sell yourself as a marking tool to your child. Find something that you're good at and pitch it; brag on how great you are, how smart you are, and how your since of style expresses character of maturity. Trust me, if you don't promote yourself on being the apple of their eye, someone else will.

Warning, you don't want your child valuing someone's opinion over yours because you don't know whether that influence will be good or bad. Now, for the parents who have achieved this task successfully and your child looks to you as the greatest invention since slice bread, I applaud you!

Raising children can be frustrating and one of the most hardest occupation a human being will face in their life time. The ideal of children following this well mapped out life expectancy that us as parents provide for them is very disappointing, when they unknowingly allow others to lead them astray. This world has some many malicious people that will try to mislead your child in a different direction just to spite their achievements. Building a foundation of love and creating a strong character for your child is essential.

Parents must defend their child against the disillusionments of this world in hopes that the evil one doesn't overtake and destroy them as he has done to so many others. Living in this diverse universe, it all boils down to people either being "Doers" and "Receivers". Doers are the people who are well aware of their evil deeds and they intently go around harming others. Receivers are the people who get tricked by their hateful but, fabricated as loving snares. Parents, you must input in your child to be a receiver who fight against persuasions of doing wrong.

All in all, parent don't give up hope on your child, if you one day realized that some of your expectation as turned into disillusionments. We as parents must eventually learn to separate our children's path in life from our leadership. Martin Luther King Jr. : "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in the moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy". Disillusion equals undermined identity which can turn into awakened prosperity.
