53 Impacts of Poor Parenting on the Collapsing Global Society

-
The family is the smallest unit of the global society. It consists of husband, wife, and child (children). The good and evil activities of the world all begin at the family levels. The future of the world depends on the children. If this is true, it therefore behooves all parents,irrespective of race, colour, tribe and background, to do the needful by embarking on proactive parenting practices so as to raise children who will make the world a co-habitable place. Against this backdrop, however, many parents have failed woefully in their responsibilities of good parenting. The negligence of appropriate parenting is the single greatest cause of all social vices which are buffeting the world. Parents are the eyes through which children see the world. A child can only believe in himself if the parents first believe in him. That was why John Maxwell said, "A child has no clear picture of himself. He sees himself only through the eyes of his parents." Everything in the environment: people, cultures, languages, activities and engagements are totally new to children. If their parents are good, they tend to be good like them. If their parents are unfriendly and hostile to people, they will learn to be unfriendly and hostile to everybody too. They believe that their parents are exactly what the world is. To them, their parents are the truest definition of the world. They believe unflinchingly in their hearts that everyone in the environment is like their parents. For this reason, it is imperative that all parents should show good examples to their children. Parents should spend quality time daily to teach their children morals, values, ideals, etiquettes, good behaviours and civic responsibilities. Teach them what to do and what not to do both at homes and outside their homes. Teach the children what to learn and what not to learn. Children should be taught what to say and what not to say. Tell them the places that they should go and the places that they should never go. Explain to them why they should do those things you told them to do; and why they should not do the ones they are instructed not to do. If you fail to clearly explain those things to them, they would not be able to defend them before their peers at schools. Children spend more time at homes and at schools. Hence, the Governments of the nations and regions of the world should promulgate proactive legislations aimed at including proper child education programnes in their schools' curriculum. This implies that, while parents shall be teaching them at homes, the teachers shall be teaching them at schools as well. To be continued...

Menace Of Parental Estrangement In The World

-
Image
Parental estrangement is a painful and complex issue that affects millions of families across all latitudes of the world, with disastrous implications for emotional distress, social isolation, loneliness, and long-lasting consequences for elderly parents, and their adult children. Wherever you go, you will see lonely elderly parents who lack food, clothes, shelter, and healthcare delivery services. Their adult sons and daughters are in the cities of their own countries, or have even migrated to other far away countries in quest of greener pastures to survive. Their hungry and helpless aged parents at the rural areas are depending on them for survival, whereas their children in the cities are earnestly struggling to succeed in the face of harsh economic conditions. Many of these adult children in the cities who have elderly parents at home are unemployed. Many of them receive very small wages at the end of the month. Their wages are unable to meet the financial needs of the nuclear fami...

Coping With A Resistant And Toxic Partner In The Family

-
Image
 Family dynamics are complex and challenging issues, especially when dealing with a resistant and toxic husband or wife. The emotional toll of living under the same roof with someone who is resistant to change and toxic in conducts and behaviours can be very painful and frustrating, affecting not only the involved spouse but also the children and other family members. A resistant and toxic partner can exhibit behaviours such as emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and blame-shifting. A resistant and toxic husband or wife is always right ( in his/ her own evaluation and reasoning), unwilling indeed to take responsibility of his/ her actions. Rather than coming down from his/ her high horse to apologize for his/ her fault, he/ she will begin to shift the blame to the partner or any other member of the family. He or she feels that he/ she cannot do anything wrong or faulty. This behaviour can be incredibly damaging, leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem....

  Good oral health is essential for children's overall well-being. Yet, many children suffer from dental problems that can have long-lasting consequences on their quality life, making it crucial for parents and caregivers to prioritize oral health and dental care from an early age of a child. The causes of  bad teeth development in children include: 1. Poor diet: Consumption of sugary or acidic foods and drinks can lead to both decay and erosion.  2. Inadequate oral hygiene: Infrequent teeth brushing and flossing can lead to plague build-up and tooth decay.  3. Genetical factors: Some children may be more prone to dental problems than others due to genetical factors. 4. Lack of fluoride:  Insufficient fluoride exposure can lead to weak and porous teeth.    5. Trauma: Accidents and injuries can damage the teeth and lead to long-term dental challenges. The causes of bad teeth development in children include: 1. Pain and discomfort:  Toothaches ...
