How does the workplace affect our families? by Joetta Derden https://momfoundationinc.org/2018/04/01/is-the-pursuit-of-money-at-the-expense-of-our-children-how-does-the-workplace-affect-our-families/#comment-12 Sat, 07 Apr 2018 15:47:07 +0000 https://momfoundationinc.org/?p=603#comment-12 I believe balance is the key, work is important but also spending quality time with our children. As a single mother and sole provider I always made sure I carve out quality time for my children. It’s not the amount of time but what you do in that time with your children that counts. I made sure they were involved in sports, that were exposed to the arts, the postive things in life and no matter what I always made sure we took family vacation together. Money may be important but the welfare of our children is essential to their wellbeing as a person and to the world in general.

But, in my childhood, my mother had to work. We were taught responsibilities and expectations. Those two traits helped my mom’s confidence because she trusted that we would do what we were supposed to do while she was at work. My bottom line opinion is that whether it were a single parent or if both parents are in the household and are required to work or desire to work, they should have a plan in place so that the children will not be neglected and one in which the kids have an understanding of the need to work. When the work day is done, spend QUALITY time with the children.

When I was young, all my parents had to do was give me “that LOOK.” I knew right then that I had to get it together. They could take me anywhere and leave me with anyone without fearing a bad report when they returned.

Parents today need to teach their kids and not try to be their friends. Kids are killing kids. They seem to have no regrets for taking someone’s life. Parents, teach your kids how to love and be respectful. That is one way to protect them from being killed by other kids in the streets. We need to cover them in prayer and cover the society they interact with each day in prayer, especially law enforcement and the adults who have authority over them when they are away from home (such as the school system).

We must talk with them, but most of all listen to their thoughts and concern. Let them know that their voice matters. Keep an open relationship with our children so they know that they can talk to us about anything, even their deepest secret without being judged. Communication is our biggest defense in protecting our kids against some of the trials they will go through. Knowledge is power. Prayer is everything. Remind your children if they see something say something.

Below are just a few of the things we have to change:

* Greater control over guns
* Take mental health seriously and facilitate the life of those who are mentally challenged
* Parental accountability
* Put God first in the family
* Improve school security to include school bus stops and buses

We need to put prayer back in schools. We see the effect on our children and our schools since we took prayers out.

They need to pay attention to their surroundings and understand that they are the ones to watch out for themselves and others. They need to understand the importance of being prepared in any situation and know what to do to remain safe. When we are aware of our surroundings, it helps us to see what others don’t see due to having their faces in their phones. we also need to teach them to be aware of places they can go to get away from danger, ie a closet, under something, behind something, anything to be safe. And lastly we need to teach them that in today’s world, they are not safe so they need to be vigilant concerning their safety.

And then train up a child in the way they should go. Next we need to let them know that we love them no matter what, so that they can feel like they can talk to you about anything. Let them Know that you have been in the world long enough, that there is not one situation that you have not heard or had to deal with that you can’t help them with their situation. Let them know you were a child at one time, even if time has changed from generations to gernerations. Remember If you don’t talk to them they will get it from the computer, streets, frends, etc. And last, be their Cheerleader on everything, meet their friends, be there for them, as long as you are in their corner, I believe they will make it, but you can’t be their friends because you are the mother and father.
