“Nothing can be more hurtful
to your heart than betraying yourself.” ―Roy T. Bennett
Bad children are a curse to
parents. No parent wants to have bad children but some parents are cursed with
bad children. In this post, I will discuss the characteristics of bad children
and appropriate measure be taken to shape children as successful personalities.
Parenting is a challenging
task and a thankless job. Some children betray their parents. Even then,
parents must care for their children. Some of the terrorists, anti-social
elements and anti-nationals are disowned by their parents. Most parents preach
good things to their children. What can parents do when their children don’t
listen to them? Mahatma Gandhi was cursed with a bad son―Harilal. He disowned Harilal
when the latter went into the wrong paths. At times, good parents are cursed
with bad children.
Characteristics
of Bad Children
Here are some qualities of
bad children. They think negative and approach others negatively. They create a
negative circle of friends who take them to negative paths. They beat their
fathers and backstab their mothers. They have sex and produce illegitimate children.
They create litigations to divide siblings, parents, relatives, and friends.
They deceive their own friends and relatives. They get cheated ultimately.
If there are bad apples, they
can be removed easily but bad children cannot be rejected by parents.
Therefore, parents must take the necessary steps to reform their children as
far as possible to convert them into healthy citizens and successful
personalities.
Shape
Children as Successful Personalities
The personality of an
individual depends on heredity, environment, and situation. The things acquired
from heredity is hard to change whereas the environment in which an individual
grows can be changed. Parents must take extra care to create a conducive
environment for their children. They must constantly check whether their
children are in the company of wrong friends. They must check whether their
children are bunking school, taking drugs and resorting to gun culture. Individual changes as per the situation but an individual
with a strong character cannot be influenced by situations and circumstances.
Every parent wants to offer better
opportunities for their children. If they are not equipped with adequate
resources, they still give their best to their children within the available
resources. If parents are not in a financial position, children must work hard
and establish themselves. Children must have fire in their bellies to excel as
successful personalities. They must be part of the solution, not the problem.
Every parent wants their
children to be successful and add value to society. Unfortunately, some
children choose to lead a problematic life and end up with a fiasco. They blame
their parents until they become parents. To summarize, parents must lead their
children by example. They must walk their talk. There must not be any
credibility gap. They must sacrifice their lives to build worthy and successful
children to build better generations.
