Our Children

In this modern generation, our kids are developing earlier than I thought they were supposed to. They learn so much from watching television rather than the basic way of learning through books, reading, school and of course parental guidance. Children are more aware nowadays of their peers. They liked to adopt the ways of the teen celebrities that they watch in their favorite shows and this is not a good sign. Parents need to minimized television viewing for the time being. Feeling better than others is something that children need to overcome especially when they use that feeling in order to feel good about themselves and gain confidence.
One day, I stumbled upon an article about a mother on how her eight year old girl had become self conscious about her body. She got worried because she wanted her daughter to be happy about herself and not feel inferior to her peers. Many young teens become pregnant each year at an early age because they get influenced by what's going on in our society.
