You see not only did I recognize this is a young girl who is
just blessed with all sorts of strength and belief but she has a dad who has
been right there. She does speak of her
mother but clearly states her mother’s thoughts and beliefs are traditional.
Her father sang to her all the time of how strong she is and
of all the wonderful things she was going to be doing with her life and so is
it not a surprise that she is doing what she is doing? I think not!
We all whether we are one-parent or two-parent families must
at all time be careful of what we say to our kids or when we are around
them. We help breath life into their
thoughts and beliefs and as they grow they will find their own thoughts. We give
them a foundation to build on and that can be good or bad depending on what you
do and say around your kids!
If you speak of being lost, being down and out, of not
having enough money or time or the oh poor me left to figure everything out
then that is what you are giving to your kids.
Now trust me sometimes we don’t even realize that is being said or it’s
done without thought so don’t go getting all upset with me. However, now and in this time we should all
be aware about how important it is to be positive even when there seems to be
no reason to be positive. Now on those
days when the world seems to be caving in! When there is more bills and month
then there is money or when you just are tired of carrying everything on your
shoulders you have to let out a scream, right?
Then find yourself a group, some good friends who will allow you to fall
and will be there to help dust you off as you get back up and ready to get back
in there to fight! Because our kids and
ourselves are so worth it!
If Malala did not have a dad who continues to support her choices
and who spoke belief and faith into her was not around would she be the Malala
that we see in this video? Would she be a little girl fighting for her
rights? I honestly don’t know!
As single parents we must be that parent for our kids and if
you just are not strong enough to be that parent then get someone who is that
can be around your children to help guide them.
Like a good friend, a sister or brother, what about Big Boys or Big
Girls Club and if you are not from the US find a similar club in your
country. But help get the right type of
motivation to your children!
I was so moved by this young girl but even more for the
father that she has!
Let’s all remember to be strong for our kids and show them
that we are not victims, that we all can aspire to do and be whoever we want to
be!
What do you think about this? I would love to hear create a comment below.
And, so it goes
