Handle Your Cell Phone/Appliance Addictions!

by | Feb 15, 2016 | Informational

Handle your cell phone and other appliance addiction when in the presence of your children. I know that is a tall order for many of us since the very definition of an addict is ‘one who is physiologically dependent upon a drug(in this case appliances)’, ‘one who abandons oneself to something compulsively or obsessively’. I cringe to think we are that weak.

We really are not that weak. We are non-thinking, un’conscious’! Snap out of it!

I observe sweet little faces aged 1 to 10 glazed over as they watch or otherwise suck in neglect as their parents give their undivided(our brains can only do one thing at a time) attention to an appliance! Feel that sick sensation of knowing that these children are themselves slowly being marginalized and rendered into robotitrons themselves, that they are being rendered into people who have lost touch with their core humanity and can’t tell the difference between what is right and what is wrong in relationship to other people(check the news).
Our children need us. We need them! We need each other! Appliances, though they have people speaking through them, are NOT to be given priority over a HUMAN in your physical presence. HUMAN physical presence is ten times the blessing of a human over an appliance (unless the human over the appliance is about to save your life). Human physical presence is in itself the presence of the most direct Heat of Love. It is to be cherished in form and substance.
Can you see that appliance addiction is something we MUST handle?
Truth: Technology is our friend.

Teenagers Having Multiple Pregnancies

by | Feb 15, 2016 | Informational

Well, here we are a week after my post about Victoria Secret possibly marketing sexy lingerie to our tweens and guess what’s in the news today! ‘Teens having multiple pregnancies on the rise’! For real? It says they’re looking for love, their parents are not talking to them about life & etc., and they(the teens) have come to accept pregnancy as fate, even the second and third one!

I know I’m preaching to the choir to a large extent here but if you’re a parent out there with minors still living in your home, just know that not even heavy outside influences can override the love you’ve instilled in your daughters and sons. The thing though, is to instill it! Instill it over the years so that they are galvanized to the direction that’s in their best interest when certain lines are presented for them to cross. Have them understand Love is not something you look for outside of yourself. It’s living within you every second! Look within.

Have them have the talks, the walks, with you, with your clergy, uncles, aunts. Lots of hugs, conversations about Love and listening with your whole self. Do this through the years! Don’t wait until they’re tweens and teens. Age appropriate talks but get it done! They are worth it. So are you.

How do you feel about your child having 1, 2 or 3 children of their own before they are 18 years of age?
