Now They Do Come With A Handbook

By Collie Weatherspoon

I want to start by saying that this book is meant to take a look inside our families and to see where we can get the best positive help for our children. We should look within ourselves for answers. As adults, we should be willing to go back when we were the ages of the younger generation. When we think about the different people, we encounter and not just see but really understand what and how these people was a positive part of our lives. Sometimes the very person that we think is the hardest or seem not to care is the person that wanted the best for us. I really want the readers to look at each individual chapter and see if the chapter pertains to yourself or someone that you know. Our children are made up of us adults, so remember that the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. We should remember that each child has their own personality. This is why certain children gravitate toward certain people. When we start to see and understand the abilities in our youth, then we, as the adults, will be better mothers, fathers, educators. I know that we want the best for our children, but what do our children want? After all, it is their life and career that they will be living. Our youth may start off on the right path but drift a little, but with the right guidance, patience, and love, they will be back on track in no time. The thing that I have learned is that it doesn't take long for our children to grow up. We should keep a close eye on our children and let them be children without so much pressure and responsibility. We should allow our children to explore many different things in life. When we introduce our children to different cultures, they learn so much more about different sports, foods, languages. It will give us a better understanding of who we are as individuals.

Introduction

Over the course of my life, I have heard that children do not come with a handbook. It is also stated that it takes a village to raise a child. In a village, there are many families, and they looked out for one another. In the same village, there may be some not so good people, we learn who they are and protect each other from them. Today the village is called the community; the same rules should apply in our communities. I have talked to males and females of different ages, cultures, and the basis is the same. Children are imperfect because we are imperfect parents; children act out of what they see and hear. Most importantly, our children are made up of our DNA, not just the part that tells us that they are biologically our children; the parts like the way we talk, the way we sit, etc., but the most important is our attitudes. Think about this. We see things in our children that they don’t even know about us. It is in the DNA; children get DNA from both parents, some good and
