Who is influencing your kids????

There are some many things now a days that can influence our children in a negative way. Between television, friends, teachers, and parents it can be very confusing to young people today. Us as parents need to be the biggest advocate for our children's safety and know exactly what your child is into or not into. The best way to influence your child to do the right thing and make the right decision when we aren't there is to set a good example. If you don't want your child to smoke on top of talking to them about the dangers of smoking you shouldn't smoke either.

This society's do as I say not as I do attitude is really sending mixed messages to our youth. I also think that society doesn't want to take responsibility for there actions and that of there child's. They want to blame video games, tv, and music to name a few. The parent who let there 5 year old ride an adult sized 4 wheeled atv wants to blame the company instead of there careless parenting for there child's death.

We need to take a few minutes everyday from our busy lives to talk to our kids. Talking to them everyday asking them who there friends are how there day was is very important. Talk to your kids about drugs. Talk to your kids and tell them it's not ok for someone to hit them and that it's ok to tell someone. Talk to them about the risks of having sex.

If we don't teach our children who will????
