Raising The New Kids On The Block

As a mom you have to raise your kids for their future life. Work hard now and you can play later is what my husband says to my kids at least once a day. And this is very true. 

Kids nowadays have to have a computer, must learn at least Spanish, and be up to their neck in character sculpting activities, wether it be sports, music instruments, art, dance, or whatever. Start as early as possible in identifying their natural talents and abilities and start building on them immediately.

For moms who are raising your children in the urban part of town. I have found that keeping the kids busy as possible with extra curricular activities keeps them occupied and focused on themselves and their achievements. This way they are not sensationalized or influenced by the local gang members, law violaters, and drug dealers in the neighborhood. Please remember especially for little boys that these figures can seem like they have it all (BIGGER THAN LIFE)...Respect, Power, Money, Celebrity Status, and Material Things. They do not think about the fact that this person has to elude death, jail, imprisonment, etc.  EVERY HOUR OF EVERYDAY. They get completely blinded by the bling and pimped out cars. So keep working to find their nitch in life and assist them in developing them.
