Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

How To Get Kids To Listen

By Christine Howard


Due to the current commitments, it is evident that you may be spending a little time with your children. Your children may, therefore, end up being more absorbed in other activities and focus less on their moral life and education. It is your responsibility as a parent to shape the lives of these kids. Therefore, you need to know how to get kids to listen.

Getting a child to listen, for example, the young ones or the adolescents is a hard activity. It is crucial to learn on improving the communication skills between you and your offspring. First of all, you need to get their attention. Make sure that their mind and ears are focused on you. You do not have to yell from across the room as there is a high possibility they will shrug their shoulders and walk away. Get their attention in a polite manner.

Use fewer words to explain what you need. It is of no use beating around the bush to explain a single instruction. Your choice of words determines how best your child takes what you are trying to elaborate. If you are giving a warning, on the reason why playing with knives is dangerous, it is more helpful explaining directly. When you use a lot of words, you might lose the concentration of the child, and they will not take the advice seriously.

As a parent, you are more experienced than the child, and because their thinking capacity is lower, you need to appreciate their point of view and later correct them. You can engage your skills into their situation by stating that you have been through the less to make the situation look less odd.They will accept their mistakes and be ready to embrace change.

Be cooperative with your children to get them to listen. Do not just shout orders as this makes them more resistant and you need to give them an opportunity to give their opinion on the issue. The cooperation between parents and children makes the life skills taught sink deeper in their minds than when a commanding voice is used.

It is important to set routines for your children. Ensuring that the routine is followed is another very demanding task. You can ensure that all instructions are followed by specifying responsibilities. In your presence, you should not let the children skip the routine for their advantage. Training a child in this manner makes it impossible to miss the rules even when you are not near.

It is important for a parent to listen to their children. As long as you want them to listen and follow, consider listening to them. They are less experienced in life hence if you ignore, they will reciprocate the behavior. It is evident that they copy what they see. Also when angry, keep calm and only give instructions after calming down.

Quality parenting should ensure that the child understands. Do not use very hard language thus making the situation complicated but rather choose simpler words. If the children lose focus, do not just stress on the main situation and walk away but repeat the guidance process at a slower rate. With these healthy tips, your children will listen to you.
