Helping Your Child be Self Reliant
By Evelyn J. Mocbeichel
There is no doubt that raising children takes many adults along the way to turn out a well adjusted, successful and accomplished child. Parents should realize that although teachers, coaches, and religious leaders are strong supporters in helping parents, they are not the primary ones responsible for the child. Preschool parents often expect more from nursery school teachers than is possible in a three-hour program. Parents want the child to learn manners, to share, take turns and to pick up his or her own toys. Many of these traits must be fostered at home before the child enters preschool. Parents of older children think schools are responsible for teaching their child to stay away from drugs and alcohol and to introduce the child to other delicate issues. For the most part, a child should be hearing about these topics at home, with school or religious information on a different level that is age appropriate. Passing responsibility onto another adult is not fair and parents need to be aware when they are falling into this mode. On the child’s part, accepting responsibility is not an easy task to master and it only comes with years of practice and growing maturity. If there is one legacy a parent can leave or teach a child, that is to take responsibility, own up to rectify any mistake you have made. People will respect you for this trait and you will stand tall in anyone’s eyes when they think of you. It’s your responsibility!

Homework
During our children’s school years and we learned one of them had fallen behind with assignments in freshman high school science class. The teacher was kind enough to call one evening to tell us so I could be on top of the situation that slipped passed me. Finals were coming up and the teacher feared the missed assignments would jeopardize our daughter’s semester grade point. When I thanked the teacher for taking time from her evening to call to relate the situation she sounded relieved. After making over 35 thanked her. The rest were annoyed that they were being “bothered” with this problem and began making excuses why the homework or assignments were not on time. The parents’ excuses were that the student was either on a sports team, in an after school activity or worked a part time job. How come the parent wasn’t the one responsible for seeing that
Parents with this attitude would most likely not encourage the child to be responsible for chastise the teacher for the reminder call.

CANCER (6/21 - 7/22) You may get quite frustrated with others during this time. It is worth being persistent as eventually people will get the message and be stunned by your courage. Push your agenda through to the top of the pile because it will get noticed and you will achieve success. You have to protect yourself from risky endeavors to avoid financial loss. Refrain from unadvised and risky trips. A long-held wish or desire,or a certain goal you have in mind really needs to break out and be free. Change of a most positive kind is in the air. Dissect your actions over the past days and try to avoid problematic behavior. Be careful not to hurt someone and do not impose your opinion.
