Teaching God's Word and making sure that it is understood and practiced.
Mine are already grown, out on their own, working adults.
I didn’t quit though, I work with the Boy Scouts helping another generation “Be Prepared.”
Encouraging him to have faith in God, himself, and to also look for the thread of good. Also, I think it’s critically important to make sure your child or children know they are loved. In that I believe comes a strength that will guide them through whatever hardships life serves up.
Encourage them to defeat Liberals with all their being.
I have kids?
By forcing them to listen to Whitney Houston’s “Greatest Love of All.”
They all know how to field strip, clean, assemble, check, and then fire a .22 Marlin, a Winchester 30.06, a Star .45 and a Mossberg 500 .12 ga.
Mine are grown and on their own. If I had young ones though, I would have them in private schools. I wouldn’t send my neighbors kids to public school. In California, 30% don’t graduate from High School. In some cities in California, only 30% do graduate.
By telling them they better be prepared to hold down 80 hour a week jobs, so as to afford the sixty-percent-plus tax rate required to adequately fund the luxurious, government-run retirement resorts that my baby boomer generation will demand and receive, based on our sheer demographic size, combined with the fact that retired people vote in much higher numbers than any other age group. A perfect storm if you will.
Someday long after we're gone, future generations will finally figure out exactly why our country went to hell, and when it happened, and they'll all frequently visit cemeteries and deface any gravestones with birth years between 1946 and 1964. But we won't care by then.
Began by teaching the Lord’s Prayer “give us this day our daily bread”; modelled what some would call a frugal life of no credit card debt; loans only for mortgage and vehicles (used, never new); and ALWAYS making the tithe the first payment of the month.
Needless to say she is up more than I am percentage-wise.
Lurking’
Don’t have any, but I’m thinking of tying chains around legs of nieces/nephews and telling them that’s what debt feels like...stay away from it. I’ll also be sure to teach them it’s godly to support their aged aunt in the future rather than pull the plug.
I raised my gorgeous blonde/blue young lady on Rush and conservatism. She’s a junior at Ohio State studying to be a social worker (with a 3.6 GPA) but still not going anywhere to the ‘left’. Goes without saying she’s not very popular with her professors or fellow classmates. But she still believes. My sweetie is a trooper. God Bless her.
Currently home schooling my oldest is old enough for dual enrollment so is taking college classes at 13. They are both in Martial arts and are learning how to shoot on 4H/ BSA sponsored shooting sports team. I have also let each of them know that on their 18th birthday they will receive a modest mobile home with an owned lot that they may call home. I expect that by the time they turn 18 each will have enough credits for an associates degree and if they want to go further Florida has an excellent scholarship program that is lottery funded for state Universities of which there are many including one in commuting distance. Both are taking music lessons as well one on violin and one on mandolin if worse comes to worse they can hang out in the park and pass the hat. My son’s stated goals are a little strange he wants to perform minimal work to earn enough for utilities and food and play video games and watch TV the rest of his life.
I made sure they read EARTH ABIDES by Stewart.
I told him to make as much money as possible, figure out how to hide it from the government and then move to Australia to avoid the civil war coming to the US.
Do not let someone else manage your money.
