THE PARENTING COMPLEX

We as humans are so quick to judge. Many are those time I have heard people try to correct other people’s parenting ways, and that is where we go wrong. How easy is parenting? Every day it crosses my mind that our parents actually did their parenting how they best knew it. We cannot confidently state there is a good and bad parenting method because obviously every parent does want what is best for his or her children. Others tend to assume that, in the current generation and how people choose careers; some parents have failed in parenting which actually is not an issue. Some people too also judge based on how different people dress; to them this makes them categorize how good or bad some parents parented their kids.

I once heard someone say that because a person has chosen to study and specialize in the beauty industry that his parents had failed in their parenting. It is time people understand that we are no longer in the old era where there were stereotypes of what jobs belong to who. Such should not occur especially in this era because we have seen guys major in the skill of makeup and actually turned out to be the best professional makeup artist we could never think of, the like of Creative Phil; isn’t that talent.

We cannot practice the dictatorship parenting like our grandparents used on our parents. We need to learn that in this time and era we should try to practice the involving kind of parenting where children have a say in whatever they intend to do with their life and as long as it is something that will make them happy and have an impact in their life. Let your children connect to you and talk to you why they think something is right or wrong or rather why they feel like you show reconsider a decision, because it create a safe space for parents and children to have candid conversations.

As days pass by different trends of fashion emerge and by how people dress, we really cannot call them decent or not. Because some people dress in a certain way to express themselves, to feel cute and confident in their attire. Letting people be comfortable in whatever attire they want to be in gives them some sort of confidence. At this date and era we want a confident generation, people who can express themselves without the fear of feeling judged and misunderstood.

When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice playpen. when they are finished I climb out.
