Hive-reachout initiative week 49. Leaders of tomorrow should be raised by both parents and the society.
Parenting comes with alot of responsibility and that is why I told people that it is not just enough to bring children into the world, but taking proper care of them and moulding them as the great leaders of tomorrow. We can't just fold our hands and watch this beautiful gift that God gave us to waste all in the name of having too much responsibility.
This image belongs to me, but I used my friends phone to snap it.
For this particular week, the theme says - THE ROLE OF PARENTS AND SOCIETY IN MAKING CHILDREN THE LEADERS OF TOMORROW. Looking at the topic alone we will know that the responsibilities is not left for the parents alone, but also that of the society. Parents have a great role in making this children our great leaders. Let's outline some of this roles:
Examples: Every child have a home that he or she was brought up. No one belongs to the forest. Though some of us may not have our parents with us now, but when we were with them we learnt alot even without anyone teaching us how to live. Children are very good at mimicking. As parents the life that we live before our children shapes them alot. Even the children may not notice it until they become adults too. It is something that moves from one generation to another. If you go into a family where the parents are very kind, you will discover that most of the children in that house will copy that kindness. But if the parents are the wicked type. Maybe lying at any given opportunity, it will definitely follow the children. So children learn by example. What they see is what they copy.
Teaching: Most parents helps their children become great in life by the kind of teaching they pass to them. Taken enough time to teach the children the word of God brings out the greatness in the children. When a child grows up with the fear of God, he will definitely do well wherever he finds himself.
Love: Another great tool that can make children great leaders of tomorrow is love. When they find love at home and in the society, then they will be able to show love to others when they enter into any leadership role tomorrow.
SOCIETY
I believe also that the society has a big role also to play in the life of any child that will become great tomorrow.
Cooperate sponsorship: This is not what is common in our society, but we all know that there are a lot of children that can't get two square meal a day. For such children education is very expensive and sometimes the society don't do anything about such children. Every one just mind their own business and allow such children to suffer and grow without any dreams. Maybe we should begin to look into ways to do a corporate sponsorship for those kind of children.
Corporate parenting: I don't know if this word is correct, but I know that in those days when we were small, everyone in the society can punish us when they see us do anything wrong. But today it has disappeared into God knows where. Let's consider other people's children as our own because we don't even know what our own children are up to where they are. This kind of lifestyle will help our children learn fast. If the child refuses to hear at home, they will be compiled to hear from others outside the home.
In conclusion I believe that the parents and the society should join hands together in raising great leaders of tomorrow. Only the parents or the society can not do it as expected, it has to be a combine efforts.

The cooperate parenting,
that lifestyle has gone into thin air and never going to come up again.
Now, I can't dare to beat a child that misbehaves. Even if the parents don't have the boldness to approach me, they'll put me in their mind😅
Well said @adaezeinchrist but the society we have now is different from the one you and I grew up from.
Discipline culture is dead.
Even in schools the child will set up a teacher just to get them sacked because there's no fear or respect anymore. You know most schools won't hear the side of the teacher if reported by the child or students. Remember the good old days you can leave your children with your neighbour for days.. How many parents can boast of this now. No man is an island and until some values form the time before now or generation before now are brought back .. We will end up seeing robots taking the place of humans when it comes to the family
If you're teacher and you beat up a child for misbehaving the next school day in school be ready to receive scolding from their parents or worst case beating.
I don't know where we got it all wrong.
When we are talking about the role of society to children some society neglected it because they don't know but if the society will organise some seminars and leadership retreat for the upcoming children it would go a long way and for the aspect of parent if they will give there children time
Some parent always focus on there work and forget there children there are some that there children call them uncle because before they children wake up they are already off to work and before they should come back from work their children already slept off just because of activities outside and leaving his responsibility at home for some time and by that some children wake up to be arrogant because there father in particular is not having time to educate them
I really love your entry but if society and parents will do what is expected our children will grow great and have a heart of good conduct
The lives of the parents is the first lesson to the child. Children learn faster by what they see on display around them daily. If the parent live right, the children will definitely learn from it.
It's sad that our society is no longer the way it used to be, nowadays instead of building, the society contributes more in destroying. But the change can begin from you and I. If we begin to do what is right, with time, it will spread like wild fire.
Thanks for sharing
I love this picture it reminds me of me when I was a child. During Sunday school.
