The decisions that you make over the next few moments can drastically change your life
, if you let it.
Many of them are divorced many times, estranged from their children. In my mind this is very unbalanced. My opinion is that in order to be a real success at business you need to also be a real success at life. I am going to be writing a series of articles about what I consider to be the real keys to success in both business and personal. Once you read this more deeply it will change your ideas..
You need take lessons and pass a test to get a license to drive a car but there are no qualifications needed to become a parent. One of the most irritating things in life is a parent who does not take their role seriously. I cannot believe that people will have children and not do a proper job.
We had children later in life and I remember my entire friend saying "I wish I has spent more time with my kids" I retired and took off the first ten years of my daughter's life. I was there when she was born. I was there when she first smiled. I was there when she first walked and talked. I was with her all of the time having an active influence on her being. To this moment I cherish those moments with my entire soul. There is nothing like being a parent.. They will grow up and leave way before you know it.
1. Give your child unconditional positive regard. Even when they exhibit bad behavior. Let them know that while you do not approve of the behavior you still love them with all of your heart and soul.
2. Bless them daily.. Do things to demonstrate it.
3. Make the bet impressions on them you can.
4. Be understanding of them, their experience and perception of the world. Always be with them.. Make your place the coolest place in the world for their friends. Make it a refuge.. Get to know their friends as best you can.
5. Respect them in every act, word and deed. Respect and listen to their opinions and views and feelings about everything.
Spend as much time with them now while you still can..
