Years back, *poor illiterate parents* produced
๐นDoctors,
๐นEngineers,
๐น Scientists,
๐น Accountants,
๐น Lawyers,
๐น Architects,
๐น Professors.., whom I will refer to as *Group 'A'*.
These *Group 'A'* Children struggled on their own after Primary 6 or Grade 12, to become notable personalities. Most of them
๐๐พtrekked to school *barefooted*
๐๐พ went to farms
๐๐พfetched water and firewood
๐๐พcared for domesticated animals
๐๐พdid some work including trading after school to survive.
Now Group 'A' ,who have now become Parents themselves are *producing Group 'B' Children*
These group B children are
๐นpampered
๐น helped in their homeworks or home assignments from nursery school through secondary schools to higher institutions.
๐นchauffeur driven to very expensive schools or are sent abroad to study.
๐นthey can watch movies from morning till dawn after school.
๐น they are treated like baby kings and queens.
๐นthey don't do any household chores.
๐นFood is put on the table for them,
๐นtheir plates are removed and washed by parents or house maids.
๐นThey are given expensive cars and clothes,
๐นnot forgetting *big pocket monies to be wasted* !!!.
๐นTheir parents help them in doing their assignments.
๐ค In spite of all these, only few can *speak* or *write* correctly. ๐
๐คGroup 'A' Parents cared for their own *parents* and *children*, Group 'B',their Children are still *struggling to find their feet at age 30+*.โผ๏ธ
๐คThey find it difficult to do things on their own because they are used to being helped to think and doing things by Group 'A'. So they can't help themselves, their parents or the society. THEY ABANDON THEIR PARENTS IN THEIR BID TO ACQUIRE THE WORLD
๐ด *Where do you belong*โ
๐ฎReduce the pampering and the unnecessary help you offer your children.
๐ฎ Let your children *grow in wisdom, intelligence and strength*.
๐ฎLet them face the truth and the realities of life. Teach them to grow to become *independent adults.* Teach them to
๐๐พfear God,
๐๐พrespect others and
๐๐พ develop confidence in themselves.
Parents, discipline your children to become disciplined adults, *useful* and not *useless.*
