No Bullies,
No Pressures,
No Reasons to Fail!
By Dianne Linderman
Does this describe your children’s school? If it doesn’t, get your kids out! Now ask yourself, “What should I do with my kids if they don’t go to public school?” The answer will be one of the ultimate sacrifices put before you! You might have to move, you might have to home school your children, and you might have to be inconvenienced.
I am convinced that our children begin to lose their innocence the moment they enter into public school and leave the protection of their parents. Here, our children are trained out of their carefree, spirited, fun-loving selves into obedient, well-trained students, or failing that, they may become rebellious punks or bullies. My father could have raised my four brothers and I in England where we would have learned to be proper and most likely suppressed. Instead, he knew that he wanted his kids to be raised in America, where we would be free to find our own grace, and if we did find it, it would be real, not learned.
If you find yourself believing that teachers are the authority, then you have just betrayed your child. When this happens, many kids start to lose their trust in their parents as protectors and end up making friends their newfound families. My dad spent many years in the faces of our teachers not allowing them to suppress us or train us out of our carefree spirits. He remains to this day a prime example of what intuitive authority is, and as a good father, he has helped give my four brothers and I the gift of free spiritedness and the knowing that our heavenly father is our ultimate authority. If we don’t look to others to be our authority, then we will be grounded in the soil of real strength.
Don’t Overprotect Your Kids!
By Dianne Linderman
As I observe parents with their children, I notice that it is mostly women who are overprotective. Why? They have a need to control the outcomes of their children. Does this sound a little like playing God?
I have witnessed the power women feel as they exercise control over every aspect of their children’s lives: always guessing their every step to keep them completely safe, making them study so they will be smart, choosing their clothes, friends, and food, not letting anyone reprimand them or find any fault, keeping them from any pain, hurt, or negativity, and ultimately, keeping them padded from life itself.
If this is you, then what has become of your child’s identity? Who is this small being and what will happen to this child if he or she cannot build character, strength, visions, and faith? You have set this child up to be anyone’s child and here lies the danger.
The world is full of gangs gobbling up our weak, characterless children that we have set up to fail! We have set up our children to entertain anyone’s identity, and have not prepared them to be secure, strong, planted beings who are able to recognize the wicked and cunning stalkers of this world. We have not clothed our beautiful children in character and virtue; we have only played God by not allowing them to feel stress and pain and not allowing them to learn how to make the right choices.
Our job as parents is to act as a stealth observer, never letting our children know that we are watching over them while allowing them to feel, see, and experience some of the wrong in the world, as we stand as a powerful example of how to deal with life!
