RE: How to teach my 10yr old to put his hands up
...maybe you should not protect him....
My dad died when I was four and I was left being raised by my mother who tried to "protect" and shield me from life....
It only ended up making me very confused and full of hatred and Ive been sent to foster homes, been arrested a bunch of times, ended up being homeless and not finishing high school mostly because of this hatred and lack of a father figure....
I am a 20 year old man.
What ive realized through various epiphanies , is that you cannot own a person - they are them and you are you, and you cannot be them.
Therefore, it is my belief that mothers should not protect their sons so much as raise and them to both unlock their fullest potential and be their best selves.
I think we should not hold anything back from our children but instruct them to be wise and teach them everything we know...
The school system only collects souls.....(think about that)
After all, they will be their OWN person one day and make their own decisions....the best we can do as parents is prepare them for the world .
I personally believe that this video resonates with the topic of being a mother raising a son;
I totally agree with you. My mom took off when I was 5, she's still a drug addict and a drunk to this day.. 25 years later. My dad is the same but at least he stuck around. I've been through the system myself, too. There's no way to shield a kid from that kind of life when you're raised in it.. It's a hard world out there.
Thank you for sharing your story and the video. The video is awesome. Great points!
It is really important to wake up this next generation to all the injustices in the world and raise humans who are aware and fair.
The school system comment, right on point! seriously makes sense. I've been seeing the same things.
Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. I really appreciate it!
