Raising children is a teamwork of parents, teachers, school and society. While beating children is bad but teaching children discipline is very essential. It's very important to teach them what not to say and do more importantly than what to say and do. It's important to teach them not to hurt others. In a society when all of us live together, it needs to be taught to children to be respectful and to be kind to one another. Most importantly to underprivileged communities and children from those communities. Many times, we do not understand that their challenges are much more than in comparison to ours. We also need to teach children to respect authority but not to become enslaved to authority but to respect and regard them and follow the orders for the betterment of society. Difference in leadership and bossing needs to be understood and taught to children. Leadership has different forms. Choosing the best form of leadership is important. But before choosing we need to have understanding of leadership. From where we evolved from stone age, where power was mostly physical and mental. But society was not formed in stone age, principles of life were not defined and developed. So, without an understanding of present world, where most people are educated behaving like dealing with uneducated people isn't acceptable. People must have a reasonable judgement and conduct. That doesn't come without teaching and learning in school. I feel we need psychologist in school to assess the children to teach kindness, respect and empathy and also channel their strengths to bring positive outcomes to create positive life impact. There are great people with great energies but imagine if they were taught right from the beginning and they knew kindness our world could have been the best place in the world. Not teaching children the essentials of living and not understanding psychology of child when they are all brought up alike there is no productivity. So having Psychologist assess the child give them the best tools to be the best people in their life would transform our world. We didn't need to say, ask and yell for our needs. System would have functioned smoothly. Little discipline is must for children, so they understand the importance of behaving themselves properly amongst others. Fathers played key role in disciplining children while mothers loved the children. So, raising children was a teamwork. I also want to request parents not to get separated when children are growing up. Stay together till children become adults if you need to get separated as well. Be as a family for the sake of your children and their future. Raising children is a teamwork of parents, teachers, school and society. If an adult is certain way, it's not just his fault it's because of parents, teachers, school and society. When so many people fail in a child's life an adult fails. So please try to not fail the child be there for each other for our children's sake.

Outstanding leadership opportunity

THE ROLE OF A YOUTH MINISTER is not to have, create, or strengthen a group. The Role of the Youth Minister is to strengthen the Network of Parish groups, organizations, and ministries that work with Children, Youth, and Young Adults, then create groups that fit the patterns of vocations needed to serve those within your Parish Boundaries. If you are still calling your youth group a "youth ministry", you have lost the purpose of "Renewing the Vision", which inspired us as Youth Ministers to replicate the PARISH, so that your youth would carry the Church to the Future. Isn't that the reason why we say, "Youth are the Future of the Church", or the "Church Today"? So let's build it... Check out this video that reflects a Parish Youth Ministry would like: https://lnkd.in/emhYVcHn #FaithFormationCounts #RenewYourVisionDHT #BeAnEchoOfTheGospel #RenewingTheVision

We unite, chant, and celebrate every victory, big or small. Whether it’s a sports win or a national achievement, the collective joy is palpable. Yet, why do we often remain silent in the face of wrongdoing? The bystander effect—when the presence of others discourages an individual from intervening in an emergency situation—prevents us from taking action when it truly matters. We see something wrong, but assume someone else will step in, and in the end, no one does. It's time to channel the same energy and unity we exhibit during celebrations to stand against crime and injustice. Let's not be mere spectators in the face of adversity. Every voice and action counts. Together, we can make a difference. Let's break the cycle of the bystander effect and be proactive in creating a safer community for all. #BystanderEffect #CommunitySafety #safetogether

Culture. I recently had a good friend tell me that setting the tone wouldn't affect our little group. Myself, New York Red Bulls, Sir Alex Furguson, and Jurgen Klopp couldn't disagree more, respectfully. Schein's Culture Model at Work: Level 1 - Core Assumptions aka "What We Believe": Giving of myself for others regardless of what they can get me creates the best environment for all Level 2 - Espoused Values or "What We Say": I will give of myself for others regardless of what they can get me Level 3 - Behaviour and Artifacts or "What We Do": See the clip below How you treat people matters everywhere you go, people are always taking notes silently. Oh, and would you look at what it means to the kids.

Doing Good is a simple and universal vision.
