There's a saying which goes something like
this:
"Bread cast on the waters comes back to you. The good deed you do today
may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you
will have made the world a better place - And, after all, isn't that what life
is all about? "
Growing up in the era when most parents were illiterate, these messages could not be more true... hehehe..
*WAKE UP PARENTS*❗
Years back, *poor illiterate parents* produced
🔹Doctors,
🔹Engineers,
🔹
Scientists,
🔹
Accountants,
🔹
Lawyers,
🔹
Architects,
🔹
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
👉🏾trekked
to school *barefooted*
👉🏾
went to farms
👉🏾fetched
water and firewood
👉🏾cared
for domesticated animals
👉🏾did
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:
🔹pampered
🔹
helped in their homeworks or home assignments from nursery school through
secondary schools to higher institutions.
🔹chauffeur driven to very
expensive schools or are sent abroad to study.
🔹they
can watch movies from morning till dawn after school.
🔹 they
are treated like baby kings and queens.
🔹they
don't do any household chores.
🔹Food
is put on the table for them,
🔹their
plates are removed and washed by parents or house maids.
🔹They
are given expensive cars and clothes,
🔹not
forgetting *big pocket monies to be wasted* !!!.
🔹Their
parents help them in doing their assignments.
🤔 In spite of all these, only few
can *speak* or *write* correctly. 😏
🤔Group 'A' Parents cared for their own *parents* and *children*,
Group 'B', their Children are still
*struggling to find their feet at age 30+*.‼
🤔They 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
😴
*Where do you belong*❓
🏮Reduce
the pampering and the unnecessary help you offer your children.
🏮 Let
your children *grow in wisdom, intelligence and strength*.
🏮Let
them face the truth and the realities of life. Teach them to grow to become *independent adults.*
Teach them to :-
👉🏾fear
God,
👉🏾respect others and
👉🏾
develop confidence in themselves.
🤔Parents, discipline your children
to become disciplined adults, *useful* and not *useless.*
Praying these kids one day will grow up to be Group A adults.
