Default Re: Kids are the target

If you've ever taught someone to read... showed them math skills...
Did homework daily with them " Without giving them the Answers "
You can see them improve with ' Pride.' It's the discovery process
that is sooo encouraging. Kids just love to learn.

I think this thread can be looked at two ways... The doer's and the
takers... Either you take responsibility for educating your children or
push that reponsibility on someone else. And, blame the teacher for
the child Not learning. We ' teach ' kids to talk, then tell them to Shut
Up. What's with That... Show them what healthy food is. Than hand
them a soda, instead of juice or water. All the learning takes place in
the home enviroment, by example. Do as we say, not as we do, never
works.

A filmmaker was over for a visit yesterday, he brought his 4 y.o. with him.
asked if I had a globe... His 4 y.o. showed me everything a 12 y.o. should
know about the planet including where the different animals come from.
I asked the little guy if he wanted something to drink... I brought out,
milk, orange juice, lime juice, pineapple juice. He picked orange juice.
I asked if he was hungry he said he was. I opened the refrig. and asked
what he wanted. He picked watermelon and pineapple. I told him they
were my favorites... He ate as we watched the movie " Bolt." Nice kid,
a perfect reflection of his parents.

Teach our children what is good for them and lead by example... What is
good for their body AND show them what is 'bad' for them...

The one's on the thread that blame others or someone ' messes ' with your
kid. " We are ALL what WE do..." If, we communicate with our kids, we
know what is going on.

YES... There, are Good schools... It's up to us to place our kids in learning
enviroments. Fear means NOT EDUCATED.

I'm not pointing fingers... So, don't complain to me! I didn't give you that
baby. You did... Live with it. It's the one's that tell us to ' Shut Up ' and
go along to get along that have a problem. Every Action has a Reaction.

It is True that like minds group together... That is why I don't understand
the negative posts. If your Not happy on the forum why are You here.
Unless, your being paid to post your negative agenda. For those "we see you." YOU ARE WHAT YOU DO...

Trooly,
