While I Am Talking To Your Children Where Were You, Patty DeGroff [classic children's novels .txt] 📗

It breaks my heart that every day I find new young people in need of someone to listen to them. They are crying out for help and guidance an ear they can tell their story to and find peace there.
Where were you the one closest to that child that should know their every expression and what it means how they move their body when a story is being told or the truth.These are the things all parents should know if they so love that child.

Where respect is shown to that child for not to give that child respect then respect will never be returned.Taught at such young ages the way to be within your family look about your family today and you will see many flaws that today has come back to haunt you. For your children are a mirror of their family and how they have been raised.If you have a child having problems first take out all their school pictures and lay them out on the table. Put them in order by year and take a good long look at them.By the look on their face in each you should be able to tell exactly when your child began to be unhappy.

Its all there how could you have missed this .Well I will tell you for I know life isnt a bowl of cherries for sure.It will have twists and turns in it your whole life through.But the secret to keeping up with love in your family which is the most important thing in your life is to keep the love and communication alive.

Now when you pick out the picture of when your childs face shows problems within it think back on that time.Did your child start in school and meet new friends. Did he or she tell you at any time she was having problems with kids in school and what did you tell him or her .Really take the time to back step in your life and you will find what is happening.Watch your children for a few days times they come to you give them your full atentionas you would an adult.Listen intently to every word and respond calmly .Now watch their expression as they leave and what do you feel it is telling you . Often children put on a smile for everyone then leave for their room for a night of heartbreak and tears. Do they stay in that room and not come back out to be with the family?

Ask yourself in all the activities you have with your friends how many time has your child had plans to do things with their friends.Do they have any friends or have you not noticed. Do you have a day that you and your child spend together to talk and do something creative together.No well
in work and family chores and your own special outing why not? They are people too and if they arent included in the family or you are going out all the time and they stay home whats wrong with this picture.Young people so needs to have an adult they can trust and can tell anything to without being screamed at for bringing up the subject you dont care to talk about.For trust me there are people out here that will talk to them about it but is it the people you would want your child to get their information from.

A young girl the other day messaged me and said she was thinking about having sex with her new boyfriend.What did I think about what she should do? The way I handled it was my opinion really wouldnt matter to her if she had made up her mind but there is one thing I asked her to do before she deided to do this.Se asked me what.I told her tomorrow when you go to school wear your underware on the outside of your clothes to school.This way you will know how you will feel the day after having sex with a guy in school for he will have told everybody there. She came back and told me oh thats gross I would never do that.Then I said well if you would never do that then you best not have sex with a boy from school because that is exactly the way you will feel the next day.Oh
those old saying from our elders often are funny but ever so true.

I have at the moment over 32 children calling me mama and grandma they tell me their secrets and fears and Im always there to answer their messages with hope love and a guidance that will keep them safe.But there are so many young people talking to people that arent there to keep them safe or give them advice that will keep them from harm. Who is watching over those precious angels who are talking to the wrong people out here in cyberspace. Have you checked your childrens computors ands see who they visit on their favorites lately for there are ways you caN check and see. For children are curious and so want to go to places they think you dont know about.I warn the kids about those who uses other peoples pictures to draw young people to their sight.I warn them that they mustnt ever agree to meet these people or give them their addresses and yes I tell them what could happen to them if they choose to go there.

Please I beg you to make sure your children are safe and not visiting the sights that could hurt them or cause them stress for the computor they must learn in just a fantasy land and not believe everything they see and hear there for predators are today on every sight.
