Anyone who knows me knows that I think kids are cool...
They are fresh and funny and smart, innocent and innovative, they know no limits...
The kids I know have attitude, for a reason. They have the world by the tail, knowledge at their finger tips, and information that creates passion... and a desire to fix the problems instead of create them.
They aren't always the most motivated people, but they sure are taking the world a lot more seriously than we did. Yeah, there are the kids whose parents aren't present, and they are bouncing off of each other, creating drama and chaos...just like we did...
But there are those who have been given the green light to be who they are, find what makes them tick, and KNOW that they were put here for a reason. We have our first ever generation of kids who grew up in:
Health club daycare: where parents took time out of their day to take care of themselves and the kids played together in a safe positive environment. What a great example!
Mandatory preschool: you learned how to share, play nice, and use glue responsibly BEFORE you got to kindergarten.
The internet generation a global perspective from the get go...wow!
A divorce situation: You may say it's a bad thing...I have 3 kids who are more aware of what love is and is not, because of it! They know what real strength looks like and it will be really interesting to see divorce rates start to drop as these kids make life decisions, I guarantee it.
A world where middle class is disappearing and materialism has had its last day People are starving, and bling is OUT! Reaching out is cool and fun.
Non Denominational Church King James, who? Real biblical principles, taught by people who made mistakes and were granted a NEW LIFE in order to teach others how NOT to make the same mistakes.
Take it from one of 'em...
Our kids are our HOPE...remind them daily... and love them, because they are unique individuals, separate from us, created to clean up our mess!
A freaking Men.
