I'm not neglecting him for drugs and alcohol, or for a club or booty call. I don't harm/kill other little children's parents by poisoning their bodies for some fast cash just to provide for him or to look flashy in something that has no real value. I'm not violating the rights of another human-being by robbing or stealing, their hard earned money and valuables.
I'm very respectful and present myself well. My behavior registers into his subconscious mind and translates into his physical being. Your children's growth is the reflection of your behavior and the energy you chooses to emit. It's not about what you say, it's what you do. Body Language is the most important form of communication.
Taking on the role of leadership allows me to see my craft manifest. Witness my seed grow into plants, into fruit, into vegetables, into a tree.
As a father, I allow my son to make almost every decision on his own except those that are more complicated. For example, when we are shopping 🛒 he is able to select his own color, brand etc. of his necessities. Also, he's allowed to spend his own money that he has earned on whatever he like after paying himself first. I allow him to prioritize his required tasks in the order he see fit. I know that my way isn't the only correct way. He make his own decisions on what to do for entertainment as well.
Allowing him to make decisions on his own teaches him self-accountability and responsibility. Self-accountability enhances self-discipline. He will never learn, if he isn't given the tools and right direction. The earlier you teach decision making skills and self-accountability, the better the man your child will become.
I am now teaching him and my little brother not to be afraid of taking risks because it's the other side of fear where the real rewards are awaiting. Also, on the other side is failure, but failure is what makes us great because we learn from our mistakes and try until we become better at it. Fear of taking risk is the result of people never getting off the couch.
As part of my own personal assessment of my son, I realized that...
- He haven't said a curse word
- He haven't bullied any other kids
- He haven't disrespected any male or female, instead he draws in males and females from all different demographics with his charm demeanor and superb networking ability.
- He haven't recited the lyrics to any rap songs, except the Whip and The Nae Nae.
- He don't know of any rappers
- He don't know who LeBron James is or any other ball player, their merchandise or any of the professional sports teams.
There's more to life than what the norm is focusing a lot of their attention on. Dare to be a leader. Dare to teach your child that it's fine to be different, to be themselves and to have fun doing it.
FATHERS, BE THE LEADER YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD, IN YOUR CHILD(REN). CHANGE STARTS WITH YOU FIRST.
