Take Care of All Children
Who is taking care of our children?
Who
is supporting their parents?
Who
is educating our families?
How
are we going to create healthy communities?
Our families and children are at the foundation of our society.
When
we do not have healthy families, we have a dysfunctional society.
When
we have unhappy parents, we have unhappy children.
When
our children are not happy, they do not thrive and dream and create good lives.
What can we do?
First
begin with you.
Heal
your own unhappy childhood.
Forgive
what was unhealthy and learn a better way.
Educate yourself.
Read
and observe healthy relationships.
Find
a good role model and mentor.
Set
your own goals following your highest values.

beliefs.
Make
amends for your false teachings, hurtful words and behavior.

others.
It is imperative that we all take full responsibility for the
mistakes and misbehavior we see..
It is
essential that we commit to doing a better job within our family and our
community.
It is
helpful to listen to exactly what we say and do as we are saying to others.
It is
our responsibility to give our very best to one another, young and old.
Children listen to our phone calls and family interactions and copy
us.
Children
watch TV, movies, news and cartoons and copy what they see.
Families
pass down dysfunction habits and harmful behaviors .
It is
time we stop, assess and make choices and changes for the benefit of all.
Thanks for being open and willing to listen, stop, look, forgive
and choose again.
