Childhood worries
Just like adults, children have their share of daily demands, worries and concerns. When I look back on my own childhood, I can see that I had more than my fair share.
I would withdraw for short periods, then when it was time to face the world, I would deal with those realities. Worries for children tend to start around the time they start school, due to the endless demands …

Establishing boundaries
Boundaries are a dividing line between what we can and can’t do. They are what parents put in place to protect their children and other children they come into contact with. Boundaries are taught by parents to their children from a very early age.

As in life
Something inspirational:
“People say “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” True, but it goes beyond that. Don’t judge a book by its first words, first paragraphs, even its first pages. In fact, don’t judge a book until you have fully read and comprehended it.”

Nobody but myself
Something inspirational:
“All my life I had been looking for something and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except …

Setting the standards
Parents set the standards from a very early age. One of the most important factors of a child’s upbringing is what that child is continually exposed to, from childhood into adulthood, therefore as parents, it is important we set the right standards.
Children are not only influenced by their parents, but by other family members too including grandparents, aunts and uncles etc. As those influences will also have an impact, it’s important they also get …
