Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 797 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Often the questions come to parents on how to raise their children. What should they do, and how should they approach situations as they arise throughout life? Often parents are not sure. It seems with all the books and all the research that has been done over the thousands of years, we have yet to write a manual that would be used by every single parent, which would give us the answers of what to do and how to raise our children properly. That is by far the most difficult challenge any one parent can go through, how to raise children properly.
I have a suggestion for you. As a father, and grandfather, something I have learned may be a solution to one of your challenges. I’m not saying this is unique, or perhaps the answer to all of your questions, but this may be one advantage.
Children have to be taught on what to do and how to follow their instincts versus their discipline. If you were to teach your children “selective listening”, this would be the most important skill that they could ever have in their life.
Tell your children not to spend too much time on the voices that don’t count. Every child, and every human being has two voices. One which would carry that person to do good and the other one would be pushed to the negative.
Don’t spend too much time on the voices that don’t count. Voices that are going to add too little worth to your future are voices that are unnecessary. Don’t waste too much time on shallow and silly things. Tune the voices out when they are not good, and learn what the good things are that will make you a better person. Tune in the voices that are going to add something to your life, and the life of everyone around you. By sticking to this concept, and understanding it, children will then realize that these two voices, which are antagonistic to each other, can be controlled.
You would have given them the best gift of life in my opinion, on how to develop the skill of “selective listening”. This will give them tremendous opportunity to choose for themselves what is best. Now all you have to do is get them to understand it.
