As I sit here looking into my two and a half month old eyes I worry about her and my other children’s future. I vow to protect them in every way possible. I pray daily for their safety.
Everyday there is something on television about killings, shootings and missing children. I wonder how do we progress ahead with all of this negativity surrounding our communities? As a parent I feel as though we shouldn’t have to seclude or refrain from doing certain activities due to being afraid of what may happen.
Parents I believe it is our duty to communicate with our children. It is a two way street meaning your children shouldn’t have a issue coming to you to talk about whatever is on their heart. Even though our children are our babies giving them the freedom to express their thoughts and feelings helps them get rid of baggage that they may be holding on to.
Education is important. Going to school is something most children enjoy. They have fun learning and have friends they interact with daily. For some that’s not the case. They don’t enjoy school and don’t care to interact with other children. Which should be a red flag for educators and parents. If your children are coming home and going into their room with the door close they are loners. They don’t care to be in the presence of others. If your children are social and love being around friends and family than that’s a good sign. I’m not expert on this topic just expressing my opinion but either way loner or social children they need an open door policy to express themselves.
The stories that the news stations have been covering recently are frightening. I listen to the stories daily and my heart hurts for most. In the back of my mind comes the what ifs and why didn’t they do this or that. But who am I to judge or even ask those questions. My oldest child will be starting kindergarten in the summer and I am a nervous wreck. I just hope and pray that through it all we can come together as a community and country to stop all this madness that is affecting our communities and most importantly our children.
