I started this blog, raisingboysthejourney.com, not because I think I know all the answers but because I am sure that I do not know all the answers. I see a problem that concerns me and I don’t know how to fix it.
I see the daily news filled with reports of a prominent public figure who appears to be quite comfortable indulging in name calling, bullying and lying. He can’t seem to say I am sorry, I made a mistake.
It frightens me that our children and young adults will soon see this behavior as acceptable. Will they think this is the way to succeed in life? It is our parental job to ensure that this does not happen. We must be good role models.
It makes me feel better to try to do something. So, my contribution is my MarnaKay blog of basic reminder tips. These tips are for the parents of girls and boys. This is my first attempt at blogging. I am finding it difficult for this blog to reach a lot of people but I am trying. Remember Tip # 13. Not only what you say but what you do matters.
There you go. Another thought for today. Now, go and love your son in your own special way. Some days are long but, trust me, the years will just disappear.
Love,
MarnaKay
