NAFSCE - National Association for Family, School, and Community Engagement offered an insightful session on engaging fathers. Finding ways to welcome fathers to increase involvement & engagement in schools is critical. This was a reminder to be intentional in efforts to bring fathers to schools. Many schools are not equipped to relate and / or understand the needs of fathers. An asset based approach to fathers can have a strong impact on a child.s future just as much as an asset based approach to mothers. Fathers love their children, too! #National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (NRFC) National Fatherhood Initiative®

🌈 "Materialistic" possessions may come and go, but the "Lessons" we teach our children 'Lasts Forever'. 📝 Parents, guardians, or mentors, plays an important role by making children feel loved and building strong relationships. Our love, care, and emotional support are what leave a lasting impression on children. Teaching our children the value of: - Kindness - Empathy - Perseverance, which is way more valuable than money. 🧠 According to Jean Illsley Clarke's research, parents sometimes spoil their children by: ◽ Giving them too much - Time, money, material possessions. ◽ Doing too much for them - Doing things for them that the children could and should be doing themselves. ◽ Lack of discipline - Not holding the children accountable for their behaviors. 🎯 Here's few ways to prevent overindulging and instilling important life lessons and values in our children: ➡️ Teach our kids about "enough" by using the word in everyday situations. ➡️ Help them understand the difference between 'what they really need' and 'what they just want'. ➡️ Give them things they need and some things they want, based on our values. But don't give them everything they ask for, set limits. ➡️ Give them age appropriate chores at home, even from a young age (like 3 years old). ➡️ Stick to the rules and consequences you set. If they break a rule, teach them so they learn. ➡️ Don't always rescue them when they make mistakes or avoid responsibilities. ➡️ Be supportive, but let them learn from facing the results of their actions. 🌟 Remember! "Invest in your children's education and character; it's the most valuable legacy you can leave behind." . .

Part l For The Benefit of Our Child’s Life The ability to have a child does not make one a man or a father nor one a woman or a mother. It is the raising of one’s child that does so, for being there for them daily, nightly, hourly, minute by minute, at every second, which can be difficult, stressful, and time-consuming, is what it takes to be a father and a mother. Catering to their needs and desires is the core of a parent’s curriculum while teaching them assertiveness and independence. As it has been said, those are the fun moments. This means showing them how to work the differences between them and their siblings. That will help them learn to understand how to work together with others outside of their family. It also means how to become persistent in their endeavors. Having the resolve to cultivate and manage our children’s lives is conducive to helping them grow mature and valuable minds. In an environment we create for them, if it is a healthy one, they then thrive because of the nurturing they receive from us. Courage and strength are required when raising a child. After their conception is announced, the rules change in our lives, and they must be accepted without question. Life is no longer about us but about our children. All avocations, methods of recreation, if possible, even one’s vocation, are to be put behind us or, at the least, on hold. It is our child or children who need us full-time. Our responsibility is them, and excuses for not being there for them are and should be anathema. There is not anything that we would not do for our children. They are our lives, and we choose to have them. Even if this were not so, if any of them were ‘unplanned’ or even ‘an accident,’ an abhorrent term, we do what is necessary for them. That means going above and beyond our responsibilities to our children. In Judaism, it is said that we each have chosen our parents. Moreover, we have a choice in choosing our parents, for we wish to learn from the experience, be it a good or bad one. That is the Jewish tradition. #parenting #parentingtips #parents #parenthood #parentsupport #parentingjourney

You know you’re doing some right when you find this marker board in your 10 year old daughters room. We work hard to instill in our kids values that will make them good humans as they grow to adults. We not perfect and never will be. I see too many kids being raised by teachers and nanny’s and then they wonder why their kids turned out a way they didn’t intend. If you chose to bring life into this world, it’s your responsibility to raise good humans. You can’t delegate that to others! Don’t give your kids all the things you didn’t have! Teach them all the things you wish you would’ve known. Most of our adult lives are spent ”unlearning”. Let’s ALL commit to that NOT being our kids futures!

Survivor of Child Sexual Abuse | Speaker | Author, “The Abuse Algorithm” | Nonprofit Leader at The Starr Institute, Inc. | L'Oréal Paris Women of Worth Honoree (2021)
As a child, I promised to help kids like me when I got older. The Starr Institute is the manifestation of that promise. The #goal has never changed in the almost seven years of TSI’s existence. We explain achieving goals to the young people we serve like this, “Our BIG goal is accomplished by completing several LITTLE goals along the way. We talk about SMART goals, having accountability partners, and being your own biggest cheerleader. @tumblechef says, “Your goals are always watching” and I agree 💯%! How do you show up for your goals when no one is watching? 👀 To put this into perspective I’ll share some of our journey with you. Imagine creating curricula with no one to deliver them to, being passed over for almost every grant you’ve ever applied for, and solving an issue that affects everyone that nobody wants to openly discuss, just to name a few. 🤯 And still, we persisted. 💪🏽 To me, those are growing pains. We ALL experience them. I’ve learned the path to achieving your goals is hardly a straight line. Still, none of those things should dictate how you show up. Your goals see when you work late, how you work when you don’t feel like it or feel good, when you’re exhausted, and when you have no clue what to do. The key is to keep at it. Don’t cheat yourself. I promise it will all work for your good in due time because what you do when no one is watching counts the most. 😎 . . #mondaymotivation #thestarrinstitute #trustedadult #parents #caregivers #speaker #schoolleaders #youthservices #prevention #csa #csec #mysafetystartswithme #childsexualabuse #childsexualabuseawareness #sextrafficking #childtrafficking #childtraffickingawareness #browardcounty #dadecounty #miaminonprofit #florida #southflorida

An Important Part of Raising Successful Children? Teaching Responsibility. As the saying goes, "The greatest gift you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence." As parents, we all want our children to grow into happy, successful adults. While there's no single formula, research highlights some common threads. Research shows that socially adept children who can cooperate, empathize, and resolve conflicts are more likely to attain higher education and stable employment as adults. One crucial factor is instilling a sense of responsibility from an early age. According to studies, involving kids in household chores and allowing them to take the lead on age-appropriate tasks helps build self-regulation, independence, and a strong work ethic. In summary, by fostering responsibility early on, we equip our kids with invaluable life skills for success.

Unlock your inner peace with children: Children are the beautiful innocent angels who are the signs and symbols of peace, relaxation, and contentment, they are very wise in their choices, and they deserve those who love them by showcasing toys and chocolate, especially sweets which all are the meaning of their sweetness. They follow their elders very consciously and wisely with their innocent propensity heads-up, they are the kids of today, children of tomorrow, adults of the day after tomorrow, and the leaders of next month. And as a responsible person in their life try to make them a solution for tomorrow's challenge. They can learn anything that you want to teach them, they can become anyone that you want to show them the straightforward way of becoming, because,” leadership is more about who you are than what you do” B-T, so treat them the way that you wanted to be treated in your adolescent age, lead them to accomplish their goals by ground practices, Listen to them carefully and let them share their perspectives, ideas, thoughts, and simple solutions for the hiccups of life and business, therefore, this trigger acts their behavior of a spark plug or actuator, if you care about them, they will share very insightful perspectives without being in a frantic state.

As a parent, you need to ask yourself some tough questions: Why did I have children in the first place? How does it feel to be a son or daughter to me? Do I completely understand the primary God given responsibilities I have in shaping the destiny of my children? What do I need in terms of knowledge and skills to make my 20 years project of raising my children a great success? https://lnkd.in/dJVJSfxM
