B.E.A.T. Your Child Please... Then BEAT Yourself

Children mean the ABSOLUTE world to me.  I truly believe that you train up a child in the way they should go.  This section of the blog will be about things that I notice and feel that caretakers should be more aware of and take a greater responsibility for teaching their children about.
B.E.A.T. Your Kids... Then BEAT Yourself
Be Emphatic About Teaching

So in the first edition of BEAT Your Kids; Then BEAT Yourself....
Where's The Father?  So this child has gone viral and people have made their comments about the child being out of control, but I think there are a lot more people who deserve this beating...

Proverbs 27:17 Iron Sharpens Iron; just as one man sharpens another.

What responsibility do you take for the images that your children see everyday?  How are you being sure that the words they hear through music, television, video games, and yourself are not defining their character.  Do not be confused that this is CUTE.  It is not.  20 years later when this child becomes a young adult dragging a woman off of an elevator we will be ready to fire him from a job where he is praised for being violent.  I am not saying that every person who sags their pants are violent people.  I am saying that when you are not emphatic about teaching your child and helping them process what they see, they will make some decisions on their own based on the information they have.  Most times that leads to bad decisions.  So right after you get passionate about controlling the images your child sees, you should do the same for yourself.
