Putting God back into schools.

[Ninurta]

Been sitting here thinking about this. Why now? Why only in America? Why is there an exponential increase at this current time in the US?

I can make a direct link back to when the parenting methods changed.

Parents used to provide their children with a foundation, and with discipline. Children felt they were part of a whole, they had responsibilities, they had values, they depended on family, and family depended on them.

I remember my brothers at age 10 and nine, going around mowing people's lawn to earn a little money to give to my Mother. They wanted to contribute, they wanted to help, and would not take the "you are too young" explanation as an excuse.

My brother has two male children in his house, ages 21 and 17, and he has to pay someone to cut his grass because his children won't volunteer to mow the grass, and there is nothing but discord in his house, and a lousy job done, if he tried to make them mow the grass. This is not isolated to my brother's house, I hear his neighbors complaining of the same thing.

The new parent child relationship seems to be around making sure the child is happy. It  is almost as if they fear making them angry. But when you look at the number of children that have killed a sibling, mother, father, or other family member, because things didn't go the way they wanted it to go, and they got pissed off, maybe their fear is justified.

This problem begins in the home.

More fact. You're on a roll!

When my son was little, his ma let all the kids get away with murder for the most part, and I wouldn't. We had some in-depth conversations about our different parenting styles, lemme tell ya!

She thought I was too rough on them. I don't think I ever adequately got the point across that I was not being rough, I was just setting limits and expectations, and enforcing those, because kids crave limits and structure in their lives. Oh, sure, they'll occasionally buck and rebel, but that is not really them rebelling, it's just them testing the limits to find where the boundaries are. that is a part of the process of growing up in a fairly well adjusted manner.

Kids have to have boundaries and a framework to grow upon. In the absence of those, you get what we have now. No structure, no framework for operating within a society, no limits... and they feel entitled to kill anything that annoys them for no reason at all.

Because there are no limits.
