THE TALK THEN WITH TECHNOLOGY BECOMES SHARING WITH THE FAMILY AND TIME SCHEDULES AND HAVING ACCOUNTABILITY WITH WHAT IS BEING VIEWED. THE FAMILY WITH A SINGLE CHILD WELL THIS WILL BE THE CHALLENGE FOR THE PARENTS TO NOT GIVE THEM EVERYTHING WITHOUT SOME EARNING OR LEARNING ON HOW TO OWN AND CARE FOR MATERIAL GOODS. HOW TO LEARN THE VALUE OF MATERIAL POSSESSIONS IS THE MISSING WISDOM OF MANY FOLKS WHO HAVE NOT HAD TO BE IN A FAMILY OF 3 OR MORE CHILRENDREN. THIS OF COURSE HAS MANY ACCEPTIONS TO THE RULE. NEEDS OF THE CHLREN WHEN THEY ARE IN SCHOOL AND SO FORTH. BUT THE IDEA IS TO TEACH THAT IT'S AN ITEM THAT IS NOT A NEED BUT A LUXURY.
PARENTS; WE ARE THE STEWARDS OF OUR CHILREN AND THEY ARE THE REWARD FOR OUR LABORS OF LOVE. WHAT ABOUT RESERVING THE CELL PHONES, LAPTOPS AND PERSONAL ELECTRONICS UNTIL THEY CAN HAVE A JOB, PURCHASE THEIR OWN, PAY THEIR OWN BILL, AND EVEN SELECT THE COLOR AND STYLE OF THEIR ELECTRONICS??? THIS WILL NOT DO ANYTHING BUT TEACH THEM EXCEPTIONAL LESSONS OF DISCIPLINE, APPRECIATION, HARD WORK, WISDOM OF CHARACTER. AND MANY MORE LESSONS TO WAIT FOR THEIR PERSONAL POSSESSIONS. A FAMILY ROOM COULD HAVE THE COMPUTER DESKTOP FOR DAD, MOM AND CHILDREN. THEY CAN TAKE TURNS AND EVEN DO PROJECTS TOGETHER. NO ONE HAS ANYTHNG IN THEIR OWN ROOM. WHY DO THEY NEED THIS BEFORE YOU PARENTS HAVE SHOW THEM HOW TO BE GOOD STEWARDS OF MATERIAL THINGS. HOW TO EARN A LIVING AND HOW TO BE THANKFUL FOR HAVING A FAMILY TO SHARE WITH AND TO GROW WITH IN RELATIONSHIP RATHER THAN A RELATIONSHIP WITH ITEMS PURCHASED??? SELAH. LOVE AND HUGS AND HAPPY PARENTING. XOXOX DR. MCKINNEY
