For the fun of it all...or is it? 6/9/2007 2:19:02 PM
What we do in life starting as a youngster carves our being and what roads we choose to take are sometimes not our fault. Growing up is a hard job to undertake at any age. Yes, we are still growing at 90 years. Most of us go with the changes and adapt to societal rules. RULES. Hmm. Many children hate rules as well as adults, but with out them we really would be lost.
Starting at a young age we all seem to strive for independence, to do things our own way. With our parents help things either go haywire or we become rebelious. If most parents would make life a game and teach their young'ns that no matter what you do in life it can be fun, it can be rewarding.
I will elaborate on this subject later, but while I am away think about how it was for you when you were a youngster. Were your parents always screaming and yelling at you to do everything perfect? Were they constantly telling you to stand straight, do this do that, blah,blah blah. We'll discuse the pros and cons of strict upbringing verse "learning to understand you child the way they think and relate to the world."
