Bad Parenting Or Bad Offspring? Part 01

Credit : Google

Talking about children. Kids. Little man/little woman.
Looking at the picture above, what would you say?

My point of view says,
There is no such thing as bad offspring.
Even handicapped children cannot be considered bad offspring.
Let alone the physical and mentally children.

Parenting is a big word - no doubt and it is not an easy task.
There are parenting guide, but like love guide, it is not 100% accurate.
Plus, the accuracy would also depends on the behaviour of the parent.
We, humans, have body language and it cannot be faked.
Even though the kids didn't seem like they understand, they do.
They just cannot speak it out loud.

Therefore, it is the parents' responsibility to raise their child accordingly.

Some things are not meant to be jokes.
I have met a few parents that I really don't agree with.
For example, when their child blurt out profanity, they can laugh (maybe) because they think it is funny for a kid to say something like that.
In psychological manner, the kid will feel that it is not something inappropriate, thus, it is fine to say it. People have fun when it is said (or imitiate/do). Thus, the act will continue.
It is not funny to see a kid smoking.
It is not funny to see a kid imitiating sexual action.
Videotaping it somehow feels like an act of support - so don't!

Parents are the role-models of the children.
Children learn by imitiating the people in their surrounding.

It is disturbing to see rude kids, but always, society cannot mold them if the parents do nothing.

Here is another great point of view about this : Kanak-kanak Dan Adab.

I am in no position to blame, I don't have children yet. This is merely an opinion. I may not be the best parent in the world, but I believe that every parent wants the best for their children, so, can we be open?
Do our best for our children (and future children) because they are the seeds of tomorrow. They are the next generation - and they are our responsibility.

Nobody likes to be corrected. We want to feel that we raise our kids correctly (and parents always feels so) but somehow, someway, somebody needs to stand up and say, "Sir/Ma'am, why don't you do this? The effect might be different," I am not teaching you how to handle your kids, I'm simply giving you another option.
