Childcare / Discipline

All the drama and problems from the kids in the park, I don’t want that in my house. Nevertheless it generally tends to find its way there. 

It is not more important to me than my own life and what I want to do. 

The two most important things I want to teach my son are self-responsibility and community responsibility.  

He has proved himself to be good at community responsibility in the way that he handles the situations with the kids in the park, up until the point of any antagonism wherein he rages. 

Self-responsibility is the discipline of healthy living (sleep, diet, exercise, nature), also time management of living by a schedule, also of learning a simple in/out economics regarding finances. 

These qualities are: 

Self responsibility, Community responsibility, Management of Time and Money. *

Most of these are living within a systematic discipline to achieve stability and measurable results of attaining target goals. 

People who live this way are more efficient and experience a higher quality life than those who won’t, can’t and don’t. 

What makes winners? 

Discipline and Awareness. 

What makes losers? 

Lack of discipline and awareness. 

All of the problems experienced by the children in the park which spill over into their parents lies, are the problem of children without boundaries (primarily) and higher focus (secondary) necessary to thrive. 

Primary school: teaches the importance of boundaries. 

Secondary school: teaches purpose of method of attainment of higher focus. Aspirations and systematic methods of Achievements. 

This is the benefit of understanding why the school model exists the way it does and deciding to work with it, as opposed to not recognising nor being showed why the educational system is the way it is and encouraging children to reject it in ignorance. 

The opportunity is there. The decision of the individual is to use it positively or else toward lifelong resentment for its attempt to better individuals chances at succeeding in life. 

The individuals self-worth and recognition that school is a support system not an abuse system, if the individual approaches it with that mindset, makes the difference to the experience of being there and how useful a facility it is to the individual. 

* To re-address Matlows Hierarchy of Needs. 

We need air, water, (O2 and H2O the two most basic elements), warmth and shelter, and then; money. 

The availability of money makes accessible all other needs (including all the happinesses money brings), except for the necessary ability to determine between a Need and a Want. 

Those who can identify the difference between a need and a want and who are disciplined to chase only needs and to ignore all wants, have ability to win at life. 

Those who can’t, won’t or don’t, are best avoided.
