Empower Your Children


After I wrote the post regarding MTV’s ‘Skins’ I felt pretty depressed.  Depressed because our children are losing their innocents, wonder and awe at an earlier age.  It kind of makes me feel like an old fuddy duddy saying this.  I’m sure I looked at my elder’s in a funny way when they would talk about where my generation was headed.  But the morals of our society really suck!  Does anyone care that our daughters are degrading themselves and their sexuality all in the name of popularity, keeping the guy, or whatever other hang-up is involved!
We need to empower our daughters to believe in themselves and where they are going in life.  Help them find out who they are, where they want to go, what they want to do. Help them develop their integrity so they know that they can go to a place inside themselves when making tough decisions and from this place they are able to make the right choice based on this firm belief. That’s what it is to feel empowered!
So what will you do today to instill some integrity in your children?  Just pick one thing today and you will be on your way to giving your children the best gift you can.

  1. I signed my 13 year old daughter up for Kidproof Safety's class "A Girl's Way" which really empowers girls to make smart, safe decisions! She has now taken 2 Kidproof classes and we love the content!
