Responsible Adult Parenting - Be a Kid at the Same Time
Real life is always that in a lot of ways, having kids somehow allows you to be a kid again too. For many adults, having kids is a very rewarding experience; it's like getting a second chance at life. For younger adults, however, not having kids is sort of a huge disappointment. For these kids, life without kids just feels like a failure, even though it might be really difficult for them to understand how different it's going to be without those toys, clothes, and friends.
Kids are people too, but they are often times treated as though they aren't entitled to have feelings or emotions. Kids can be very stubborn about what they believe to be real life, and they often times act out because they don't like how things are. In real life, kids learn to cope with real life situations. It doesn't matter if their parents get mad at them or if they get in trouble, kids learn to deal with these problems by figuring out a way to make things better, or by figuring out a way around them. To kids, life isn't about coping and being better than someone else; it's about being a real person and figuring out how to act and deal with different situations.
As kids, we're used to playing and pretending to be someone else. We think that this is something natural and that's how kids learn to be smart. Adults often assume that kids have a lot of self-control, but they actually don't. A lot of times kids are just too much fun, and they want to make the most of everything. It might be that you have to teach your child how to do self-control otherwise they'll end up getting into all kinds of trouble.
If you ever had to raise a child yourself, you'll know how much control you have over their life. If you don't have that kind of control, it can be very easy to let them get away with things. When a kid gets caught doing something they shouldn't be doing, it can be hard to defend them. It can be even harder when they get caught doing something they really like. You could get really mad and throw a rock or something at them, but unless you're a trained adult, it probably won't do any good.
It's hard to be a kid and not do drugs or anything illegal, but you have to decide what's right and what's wrong. Your kids should always be taught that if they do something bad, then they will pay for it in one way or another. They should also be taught not to take things that aren't necessary, and to turn in things that aren't going to help their situation. But on the other hand, if a person does something good, there should be no shame in appreciating that person for trying to do the right thing.
It's hard to be a kid and not do drugs or anything illegal. But if you really want to be a responsible person, you should make sure your children understand that. Even if it's an indirect way of getting the drugs or alcohol off your hands, that is still wrong. Your child should know the difference between good and bad.
Being a responsible adult can take some pressure off you. If you are constantly worried about what your kid is doing, it might make you feel like you are making some kind of mistake. This will only make you feel worse, and you'll end up more stressed out. If you take some time to be a good parent and learn to relax a bit, then you will find that being a parent is much easier.
Kids are going to do things that you don't like, but it's not your responsibility to let them know that those things aren't right. The important thing is to just be there for your kid when they are doing things. You can't be too involved in your kid's life, because then it will become boring for them. Being a responsible adult is the best way to keep things interesting with your children.
