If asked to recollect some of our dreadful moments from our childhood , it automatically goes back to days when we shuddered by the mere thought of being sent to a strict boarding school, locked up in a dark mosquito room, stretching our hands and knuckles to feel the metal rulers painfully strike us. Bullied by the kids from neighborhood, molested by the sex starved pedestrians at the bus stops, being picked by older siblings and relatives for no fault, harsh blow of bad words and scolding from parents, these are just enough to make us flinch with horror. My idea is to bring an open letter to parents and guardians to understand what transpires in reality yet, gets shoved under carpets of ignorance and myths about raising perfect children. Parenting and guardianship is more than what’s been believed to be and said to be. It requires same amount of training, learning and understanding as doing anything else .Parenting does not mandate on having an exceptionally high qualification, degree or diploma. It doesn’t matter how much is your IQ , how good are your looks , how heavy is your pocket or how wealthy are you. It only requires physical and mental participation to make life simple, warm with genuine love and regard to your little ones and sometimes even becoming a child to raise a child! For that your own experience of childhood is important .What went missing or was found in abundance in those golden years has made us what we are today. But a difficult little ingrate takes in form of an innocent child only when there is lack of consistent encouragement, affection, imbalance of discipline and fun. This breeds bad habits which in turn give rise to bad behaviors. Some of the parents unsuccessful in their attempts to correct their kids prefer to seek professional help from schools and specialists. Again, parenting is not a mediocre business to give off your difficult child in the custody of ruthless and sinister beings to rectify and instill in

    Parenting is an acquired skill achieved usually at a early part of adulthood, or subliminally obtained from the false conception that reading a "How to Parent for Dummies" books will actually give you that skill. Two insightful passages into the world of parenting, a essay, "The Most Powerful Question a Parent Can Ask..." written by Neil Millar and the short story "Be-ers and Doers" by Budge Wilson. Both passages attack the common ground of disrespectful children and how to raise them to your ideals. Although both passages share a similar goal they both host completely different attack strategies one much more aggressive then the other. The short story's "Be-ers and Doers" ideal of parenting is put far out of reasonable proportion, it would be feasible to think that the essay "The Most Powerful Question a Parent Can Ask..." is a far more reasonable approach at parenting.…

    The essay written by Jerri Cook titled Confessions of the World’s Worst Parent, is based on the book Free Range Kids: Giving Our Children the Freedom We Had Without Going Nuts with Worry written by author Lenore Skenazy (Cook). Cook provides similarities about raising her son and uses Skenazy’s experiences as they both point out the feeling of being judged by “good” parents because they gave their children the freedom to explore life without constant supervision. Cook shows the struggles between raising children the way she was raised and the way society wants them to be raised today. Cook explains to the audience in a humorous fashion the questions that all parents deal with, children and their freedom to explore and the paranoia that they will be hurt or taken. Presently the planet is dealing with the age of too much information, along with this comes misinformation and overinflated imaginations. Cook mentions that life for children was different when she was a child; children were left to their own devices and the parents trusted them to do the right thing and it did not do any harm (Cook). Cook explains throughout her that society may be producing a planet filled with paranoid parents and children…

    Parents learn how to parent from their own parents. Each generation socializes children on what is expected in the home, how to behave in public, and how to treat other people. They show by example how valued the child is as he goes through his developmental stages and the crises of life. Not all parents are equipped with the knowledge of how a child develop. (Scholz 5)…

    We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all children are not slaves to their creators nor responable for their duties. Families are created apon values which should be upheld and honored by all. These are consitituded by honoring the ideas of privacy, individualism, and self-empowerment. It is too often enough when a parent involves themself too much in an child's life, causing unwanted attention. When this occurs, an infrigement on basic values, it is the right of the child to raise up, and take the freedom that they deserve. For it the child that is struggling through school with muliple burndens. It is the right of a child to make thier own rules for when they have to be home and their descision for what they want to eat and when to eat it. For too long the tryany my parents have encroached on the rights of children. Let an ignorant world hear my cries.…

    Leave me alone or I'll scream! I'm calling the authorities and tell them you are abusive. These are threats we hear today from our youth. Very little respect is shown to those in authority. Parenting guidelines have diminished over the last fifty years leaving us with a compromised future. Single parenting and busy schedules are only the beginning of the problems we face with effectively raising the adults of tomorrow. These concerns and others have placed a part in removing the much needed structure in our homes. Lack of supervision and concern for today's youth have created a lack of interest in goals with our children. Crime along with drug and alcohol use with our children is at an all time high and rising. Parenting skills need to be brought back into our society in order to develop successful children.…
