Are you Frustrated?

Just had one of those days?
Or are you trying to deal with one of those children that know how to push your buttons?

One of my children was extremely good at knowing what buttons to push and when to push them. He had learned at an early age my weak spot and he wasn’t afraid to use it. Especially if my hubby wasn’t home. This child would then go up and above in his attempts to get me mad, frustrated and or downright infuriated.

I did learn a trick, and it worked most of the time. Watch the video and see what I learned, and how I used this trick.

You need to understand that this doesn’t always work. It was several years later that this same child decided he was going to attempt to once again do what he could to anger me. And again he only did this when my hubby wasn’t home. My other children asked me why I allowed this child to bully me. It was not until they asked that question that I realized that in fact, that was exactly what he was doing.  It was shortly after this understanding dawned on me that I decided I had enough. I ended up blowing up at him in front of his father. I was so mad I couldn’t even talk right. I did say something I regret now, but my anger was justified and for that, I didn’t apologize, I just apologized later for what I said that was unkind.  From that day forward my son has been treating me with the utmost respect, and kindness.  He has also learned the art of sticking up for other people when someone is bullying them.  Today I am very proud of him and how he has learned to honor and respect people.

Higher Education for our children

Higher Education for our children

If higher education is what is important for you as a parent, then please watch this video.

There are many things we will try to accomplish for our children.  And we will go to great lengths to try and do anything we can for them. One of the things we tend to think is extremely important is schooling.  Many children will do well in school and will the option for scholarships. Many will not. What do you do if you want your child to have a better, higher education but they didn’t get a scholarship and you can’t afford their school? Or do you think you should sacrifice everything in order for them to get that education?

What do we do:

  • if your child doesn’t want a higher education?
  • Or is just not able to do the work in order to obtain that education?

At what point do we sit back and let them make these choices or do we force our way on them. We are the parent and therefore we know what is best for them, correct?

What are your thoughts on all of this?

Do you have a way to make your child study that we have not thought of?

Please comment and let us know your thoughts.

Don’t ever judge someone’s education level by appearances because many high achievers don’t even have a grade 12 education. Nor judge a parent because their child doesn’t get to college or university.  On the other hand, do not judge parents who have children that are very smart and or are willing to do the hard work to get into a higher education institution.  Neither parent deserves your judgment.  We are all just doing the best we can with what we have and with what our children are capable of.
