Note To Parents Of My Generation 3

When people hear parenting they tell their selves I'm not yet a mother or a father neither am I married. We all are sure going to be parents one day and even if we decide to become priests or sisters in the convent, we will shepherd others who will either be children, teenagers or young youths hence it's important you always note the importance of seeing yourself as a parent.

I really miss the days when a total stranger who sees me doing something wrong, disciplines me immediately and takes me to my mum who says thank you and continues from where the individual stopped. It can be annoying yes, because obviously "e no concern am, I no be em pikin" but on the flip side, it showed how endearing they were then because they all saw theirselves as being responsible to bringing up a child with good morals and manners.

My generation has lost that touch and should take it back on because that's something that would help us a whole lot in future.

I have reasons for saying we should all see ourselves as parents which is, children of the new generation don't just ask their parents why. Their minds are so at play that they could ask you who they really don't know a question they feel they can't ask their parents and at that point in time, the answer you give them can either make them or mar them because it helps them make the wrong or right choices. 

As a result of this, I've tried to be really informed in many areas.

Think of it that, a teenager comes to you and asks you a question, you neither look confused or unstable but you give them an astounding answer with facts that looks or is logical and true. That teenager might just always approach you for questions whenever he or she can't reach out to his/her parents. Hence you're the channel through which the child stays sane in this misleading days.

YOU CAN BE THAT PARENT THE CHILD, TEENAGER OR EVEN YOUTH NEVER HAD. BE INFORMED cause you are your brothers keeper.

I rest my case.
