Good Children, Bad Children by olanajim(m): 4:37am On Dec 12, 2008
At a stage in life of any human, he/she would raise kids. Since children are the essential foundation of any society, it goes without saying that they invariably have the power to determine the destiny of a nation.

The prosperity or otherwise of any society is hinged on the kind of children that is being bred therein. A corrupt nation is product of corrupt children. Between Good and Bad children lies the soul of any society.

An interesting fact however is that children are born innocent. They came into the world with open mind and then grew up to fit into whatever duty we assigned them.

Let use this thread to discuss the making and moulding of children destiny. Why are some children good and others bad, even though they are born alike? Why are some endowed with wisdom and others foolishness even though they pass through the same education systen?

Parents, and would-be parents, let's look into the most important role a responsible human will ever perform in life. Let look into the making of good children and bad children.

God Upbringing and Prayers can help determine if a child would turnout Good or otherwise. Every child is born Good but events determine how they turnout. just keep praying for them and lead well

In as much as i would like to say, there is a staple reaction to situations, there are always exceptions to the case.  Yes, we do have an enormous effect on our children but how they react and assimilate is not always how one would expect.
As to wisdom or the lack thereof, some are inherited or are a result of genetics undecided

Interesting, can wisdom be inherited? I doubt that! In a house of sage, we may also find a fool.

Yes, children tend to fail to react to our expectations but it takes alot of discpline and consistency to arive at the promise land. Yet, as a responsible parents, the child must be tame, or else he become incontrollable.

Let me give you an example, when a child insists he won't go to school, what are the typical response?
1. The parent force him to go;
2. The parent gave him extra money (and candy);
3. The parent agree to let him be;
4. The parent persuade him.

Each of these option have consequences. And each consequence manifest much later in life.

Maybe wisdom is not the word.  Mental capacity undecided
Though i think some people are born wise.

And yet the consequences may not be as we predicted is what am saying.
If you force him, it's either it will do some good or do bad - how then do you know? 
If you agree to let him be, will it turn out good or bad? And yet some children no matter how their parents try to shape their lives do start to make their own lives 'their' own, sometimes at young age.
People sometimes tend to only 'want' to see what they want to see and thus are blind to all other things.
