Welcome to TIA!
Kids aren't born to be bad. They don't want to be bad.
No child grows up wanting to be a murderer, a drug addict, a wife beater or a divorcé.
Most
often young people turn to bullying, theft, gangs, addictions such as
drugs and alcohol and other antisocial behaviours as their way of
coping with situations beyond their control.
Unlike
pet dogs and cats who will overtly ask for attention and patting, human
children do not. However, we humans need to be touched by someone who
loves us as much as any other animal. That lack of sufficient touch
most commonly is the root cause of bullying, for example.
Lack
of the kind of response from parents that raises self esteem in
children often causes them to turn to those who will give them a sense
of self and of appreciation easiest. Self-bolstering praise and rewards
commonly form the bonds between members of counter culture communities,
gangs and smaller antisocial groups.
Of
course parents can't be blamed solely for children who grow to be
antisocial or socially problematic. Can a person be blamed for not
knowing something?
Yes.
City councils and various legislative bodies frequently pass laws or
bylaws that affect many constituents, though they have no means of
disseminating information about those regulations to the very people
they affect. When driving your car, you are expected to adhere to speed
limits even if no signs are posted.
Parents
routinely get blamed for their failure to act as "responsible parents"
because they don't know what their kids need. Or when they need it. In
reaction, many parents give their children televisions, computers and
video games to keep them home and "out of trouble," situations that
form the beginnings of obesity and antisocial behaviours.
Kids
don't know what they should do, how they should behave, unless we tell
them. Better, we should show them, participating with them in
activities where the parents act as role models.
Parents
can't do what they should as parents if they have never been shown how
to be good parents themselves. For most of us, parenting means acting
as our own parents acted toward us. What our parents didn't know about
parenting becomes what we don't know about parenting. Worse, something
may be lost in the generational jump.
The book Turning It Around: Causes and Cures for Today's Epidemic Social Problems was specifically crafted to provide teachers and parents with the information they need to know to be good "parents."
It
even has one appendix for teachers and another specifically for
parents. TIA, as it is known around the world, is the essential guide
for parents and teachers who want to fulfill well and properly their
most important role in life, teaching children.
If
we want children to grow equally as well socially and emotionally as
they do intellectually and physically, we need to know what to provide
for them.
The book Turning It Around: Causes and Cures for Today's Epidemic Social Problems fills that need.
Turning It Around: Causes and Cures for Today's Epidemic Social Problems
tells what kids need--what they inherently know they need, even if they
can't express their needs in words--not what adults believe that kids
should be taught to prepare them for the workplace. Until we address
the needs that children have for themselves, personal problems and the
resulting social problems will continue to get worse, deeper and more
abundant.
Despite it university paper-sounding title, Turning It Around is as easy to read as this page. The book is filled with information parents and teachers should know.
Most
of our current community and personal problems can be traced back to
parents and teachers not knowing the information in this book. It's
time everyone knew this.
