Raising Children

Now this is a topic, I don't think there is a right way, or a wrong way. If you have just one child to raise or multiples, you would raise them somewhat differently. If the ages are spread a part, you again may raise them differently. Certainly if one child has special needs, you would raise them differently.
Then again, instilling basic fundamental steps is key.

Take the newly crowned Masters champion, Patrick Reed. He had his struggles growing up, like any child. Now let's fast-forward to his career as a professional golfer. Somewhere along the way he met his wife, who Mom & Dad dis not approve of. Reed playing the grandest golf tournament of all in his home state of Georgia had his wife by his side. His parents, no where to be seen. You see he has barred them from any tournament he plays.

This must be his way of "getting back" to the two who created him, brought him into this world. They raised him. Something went terribly wrong along the way.

Truth is, someday, Patrick Reed will be an older man, perhaps with children of his own. We'll see if his children have the opportunity to enjoy the love an adoration of Grandma and Grandpa.

Further down the road of life, Reed will have to deal with the way things turned out with Mom and Dad, hopefully, while they are still living.

Perhaps, maybe one of the points any parent can instill in themselves and their children id:

HEAR NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL, DON'T THINK EVIL.

And, maybe they will SEE LESS EVIL in their world.
