Almost everyone in my life knows how much I brag about my daughter, coz I am beyond proud form the little girl she was into a young strong, centered and resilient woman she is becoming... Given the conflicts and adversities her mother and I encountered during her earliest childhood.
And her mother and I have so much pride to say, that despite the struggles and long distance... we have somehow managed to provide our daughter the love, the presence and discipline she needed to surpass the lack of both parents under one roof. That she is growing up with a solid foundation built from early grounding of house rules, awareness, responsibilities, consequences and rewards. That our actions and behaviors will determine what we will receive back in life or from other people.
And some parent/s would hate to admit this... when they see their teenagers in that stage that lacks structure, organization, accountability and Self awareness. Because they've not been firm with with early groundings of taking some small responsibilities or they themselves have not been a good role model when it comes to looking after their physical and mental fitness.
Most teenagers am encountering here in Dubai are spoilt, entitled and they crumble in the very sight of small conflict and they don't know how to address it.
This kids needs to learn responsibilities at home, simple as they should be cleaning their own room, tidy after themselves or wash their own dishes. Sounds so simplistic but builds character; humility.
So they don't grow up cocky, entitled pricks!
