Effects Of Parenting On Kids And The Society
When children show maturity, kindness, responsibility, and other positive behaviors, we usually give parents the credit. By the same token, when a child has real problems, we’re quick to assume that bad parenting is somehow to blame.
There is clear evidence that parents can and do influence children. There is equally clear evidence that children’s genetic makeup affects their own behavioral characteristics, and also influences the way they are treated by their parents.
No license is required in parenting. Being able to produce a child does not make you a parent, but being able to train them, cater for them and teach them through the manners and approaches to life.
Call Logs :
Ay: Discipline should start from the parents because children learn from their parents by watching, listening and studying their way of life.
Ty: Strictness of parents makes it impossible or difficult for kids to express themselves because fear is separating them from their parents. Most parents impose situations on their kids, instead of asking out the kids opinion on issues or what he/she would like to do in life.
Funmi: I have 2 kids and i am married and we are doing great, but seriously, parenting is not an easy job. I and my husband scold our kids together, my husband does the spanking and i do the talking. We make sure we give them the basic things needed to be comfortable. But you know, kids could be a very nasty pain the butt, but am managing. The truth is, lead your kids by example cos they are watching you. To raise kids effecctively, you need a supportive partner. 
**** Parents should give their the liberty to express themselves****
Abayomi: Raising kids isnt an easy task. Therefore, parents should have a set plan in raising kids. If you scold your kid, you must let your kids know the reasons for scolding them or reasons why they are being restricted from doing somethings.
****” raise your child in the way he should grow and when he is old, he will not depart from it“****
Silas: Parenting has to do more with the parents. What you dont have, you cant give. Therefore, if parents have bad values and morals, automatically, the kids emulates their values also, because they are learning from them and living together. I appreciate my mom for teaching me how to cook, when i was young, i thought she was punishing me, but now, its clear to me why she wanted me to know how to cook, and it is no other reason but for me to be able to take care of myself. Parenting is all about what you are made up of that is what is impacted into the kids.
**** Ephesians 5:21****
**** Spare the rod and spoil the child****
How do we reconcile kids and parents encouraging negatives values ?
It all still bores down to parenting. If there is no proper upbringing for a child when growing up, no doubt, he will exhibit bad morals and transfer these same ill morals to the coming generation and it goes on and on until it is checked. This as a result, poses problems with individuals, a group of people and the society at large.
Janet: I am a single parent and i am not too happy with it. Maybe if my parents were together and had brought me up the proper way, i wouldnt have ended up being a single mother. Alot of parents dont lecture their kids on sex education. I have a daughter and i wouldnt want her to lead a frustrating lifestyle like mine, therefore, i am teaching her the right things, keeping her busy with productive lifestyle and how to be a good person in life.
Idris: I have 2 kids, a boy and a girl. There is one particular issue we seize to address. The western lifestyle we emulate now has caused a lot of problems in our society because both parents work now and spend little time with their kids. Most parents keep their kids with neighbours, maids, caretaker and so on. When the right attention are not given to the kids, how do you expect them to relate or behave?. We should go back to our cultural values, both parents shouldnt be working when raising kids, the mother should spend more time with the kids, while the husband caters for the family.
Tips for Good Parenting;
–If you love your kids, put yourself first.
–Kids flourish when they have better and comfortable parents, not parents struggling with survival, depression and etc.
–Make right choices by putting priorities in place. Do the right thing and the right time.
–Invest in yourself, take care of yourself so you can take good care of kids and be a role model to them.
Henry: We talk about so many immoral things in our society. It all starts from the family. Unfortunately, many parents produce kids that they cant cater for and the kids is left to woes of the streets. What would you expect of such child?. Parents should learn to lead their kids by examples. Family values is nomore working in our society. People dont care about marriage values nomore, most just want to have kids somehow and continue living their lives. I would advice people should not just raise kids if they donot know what Parenting is all about. Touts on the streets werent born like that, they learnt that way of life in the enviroment where they grew up. That tells us how much what we teach our kids affects their way of life.
**** All values seems lost in our society, awards are given to criminals, noone cares anymore where people make their money as long as they have millions to throw around. The family system in the country is under attack and a very serious action should be taken to address te parenting issues or else, we are looking forward to welcoming a more dangerous generation****
**** Guard your heart with all diligence cos out of it flows the issues of life****
The CD’s of Power of Positive Parenting by Pastor Tayo Adeyemi are available at Inspiration FM, Amazing Grace Plaza, Ligali Ayorinde Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Cost of all 6 CD’s is N3,200 and i consider it a worthwhile investment. Let’s attack this battle on our kids and families with knowledge.

In as much as we train these children in the way of the Lord, there is the need to pray for the children always. That the Word of God should continually rekindle in their hearts and they should not depart from it all the days of their lives. This is because the level of peer pressure, influence from friends and from other sources outside the home especially the negative is really high.
I enjoin all (parents and non parents) to continually pray for the children. Any time and anywhere you are, as it comes to your mind, keep mentioning their names and speaking the Word of Prayer upon their lives. "A CHILD OF MORE THAN A THOUSAND PRAYERS WILL NOT GO ASTRAY". Thank you.

I agree with the saying that it takes an entire community to raise a child and that is something we are missing out in our homes now. truth is parents cant be there all the time and many parents raise their kids to believe they are the only ones that can correct them or counsel them. what happened to the days when neighbours could stroll in and tell parents what they saw their kids doing or even discipline them on the spot? what happened to the days when uncles and aunties disciplined kids in their parents absence?
Besides this, parents should raise their children in the fear of God and lead them to find God themselves. Get them involved in church activities and let them find God early, of course this is precedent on the parents maintaining a godly atmosphere at home. Kids church, youth church all make them accountable to others like themselves and enables them share common challenges. The family has its place, the school has its place and the church has its place, let no one break ranks or expect one party to take up the other’s responsibilities.
Parents should understand that the value system they imbibe in their kids is many times unconscious and as the world becomes more and more like Sodom and Gommorah, we have to pray continually and provide our children with resources that aid their decisions. lets not be like David, he was a mighty man of war, and a man after God’s heart but he failed when it came to raising his sons. our success as parents is a failure if we have no posterity.
Nice work Chaz B! God bless U

Chaz B, trust u re doing great today. Yesterday’s topic is apt for our society. i quote you ”Being able to produce a child does not make you a parent,” being a parent is beyond fatherhood and motherhood and a lot of marriages we have today does not have what it takes to be a parent, maturity is not by age but of the mind, most mothers are not trained or matured themselves; consequently they have nothing to offer to their children. Imagine a lady that finds it very difficult to manage her colleagues in her workplace; what legacy does she has to pass to her children. Rather they will grow up thinking that is the right attitude to life and before u know it its spreading to the society. So MATURITY is very paramount in marriage which leads to parenting.
Napoleon said on Tuesday, October 13, 2009, 8:46
I agree with you ma'am. But I still believe that parents, apart from the prayer and all, should be a good example for their children. Children watch their parents and their fault as kids is the parents failure, regardless of the situation. Then a very liberal home is not entirely healthy. Yes, its good for childrens opinion to be heard, but not too much freedom should be given. The parents need to strike a balance between being friendly and being strict..but too much liberty aint healthy for childrens growth.
Dum said on Tuesday, October 13, 2009, 10:21
Charity they say begins at home. Good Parenting lays the foundation on which a childs life is built. As a matter of fact it is very key to a child’s success in life although its just a means to an end. Why? There kids from good homes who have turned out very bad. Should the parents be blamed for that? I dont think so.
Its just a cirlce of life where every party involves puts in his or her bit to achieve good success. Parents, plan for your kid’s lives and future as well as yours, don’t leave it to God and fate. Set good examples, caution kids when neccessary, show true love, dont spritualize falshood to keep your kids in check, don’t force down religion and your selfish dreams down their throat. Communicate with your children about everything ,your dreams as well as thiers. Find out what they think and if they buy in. Don’t victimize them, I can go on and on. Kids be good , , be educated , learn and follow good instuctions, develope the right attidue towards life… be a success. Make yourself and your parents proud. Forgive your parents if they have failed you. Life is not fair you know and people succeeding in these perilous times do not have three heads!
Shobowale Olaide said on Tuesday, October 13, 2009, 10:05
hi Chaz b i so much enjoy yesterday topic its really nice, my view about the issues is that this days due to urge for financial success which which everybody is running after and the bad society that we tend to find our self i will want to say that we longer dont have PARENT anymore rather what we have is CARETAKER because in most cases some parents dont even knw their child on the side of the rich they tend to believe that by giving the kids money and all they could ever ask for is the best which is very wrong and the future of the kinds are in jeopardy while on the side of the poor because the parent could afford to provide well for the children they leave the children fend for themself in which the children now become the parent and the parent become the children.
the solution is that we should return back to GOD. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY OUT.

Hi Chaz B, It has been very difficult for me to get you online during your evening programes. I’m always on the wheel and all I have to do is listen to the programme and laugh until I get to my destination. I must confess, I enjoyed your programe very well. I’m also very much happy when this website is opened, and that gives me the opportunity to contribut to the issues been presented on the programme. I must say some parents are trying but the society influence also makes it difficult for the parents to bring up their children in God’s way. Parents should always bring out time and be with their children and stop chasing wealth, besides his/her children are the ones that will enjoy the wealth but when there is no communication between parents and children, thats where things start going all wrong for the family.

Helen Lawerence said on Tuesday, October 13, 2009, 15:39
Hi Chaz B, i believe parenting is all encompassing, and that we can;t raise up goodly children without the wisdom and help of God.First i believe parents should go back to the basis and lay good foundations for their kids. parents should control what their children watch,i remember growing up all we use to watch is cartoons, 2ndly parents should monitor their kids up to school,for example know what kind of teacher is teaching your child e;g a friends younger sis confided in me that her teacher in school is writing her love letters and what have you after investigating we discovered that the teacher in question was a lesbian.also parents should know the company their children keep and above all parents should pray for their kids and show geniue love to their kids not spoiling them, smack dem wen they misbehave at the same time draw them close.i grew up knowing my mum to be a working class mum, but i make bold to say that my mum gave us good values and today we are grateful to her for giving us a balance life and she is happy for it.my mum trained us in sunday school and made sure we were committed to the things of God at an early age.she monitored who we mingled with,wat we read and watch at that early age.she went as far as visiting us and at times spending the weekends ie from lagos to benin while in university,most parents dont know their kids room or flat mates in skul all in the guise of being busy, parents should encourage their kids to keep good companys. I am also aware of the fact that some kids do have good foundations but missed it along the line that is why parents ought always to pray for their kids.i grew knowing that my mum is always praying for me and it has helped me in so many ways.above all parents build your kids self esteem and teach them to be content with what they have that way they wont become cults,thieves and prostitutes.above all instill fear and love at the same time in your kids, that before they do anything they will ask themselves,will my parents and God almighty be happi and love me for what am about to do and what will be the consequences of my actions.may God help us.

Parenting is not an easy task at all.Parents must be very vigilant and try as much as possible to be close to the children gain their confidence, be their friends so they can be free to speak their minds.Parents should encourage their children to bring their friends home so they can be sure of the type of friends they keep as this can also help curb peer influence and above all train the child in the way of the lord and keep supporting them in prayers.
dex said on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 14:57
Hi Chaz B,
Me I'd like to ask one question o.
The bad leaders we have in this country today, were they brought up by working class mothers or housewives and the community?
I ask this question becos I hear people saying we should go back to the days when the mothers were housewives taking care of the children. But it is these same people who were brought up by the sit at home moms that are destroying our country today (or do u want to tell me they are all from broken homes or orphans).
I grew up seeing “housewives as gossips and layabouts. They are always in trouble even the ones who dont look for trouble, trouble finds them. I dont wish that for my wife, never.
We should be talking about values not whether the mom has a career or not….and please lets not even go to the wife having a shop thing cos not everyone is a trader/tailor/beer-parlor owner.
Like the people above have commented the values we teach our children when we are with them will keep them in check wherever they go.
My mom was not a housewife while I was growing up (and there was no housemaid o!) but what she and my dad put in place guided us whenever there weren't around. If we went outta line we got whupped in the bum and they always told us why we were being whupped. Sure I thot they were wicked then but now I look back and know they loved me like heaven!
We should teach our children in the ways of the LORD and they will not depart from it. Pray with them everyday, read the Bible with them everyday.Watch TV with them, keep them away from Naija home videos and dark cartoons (there is no voltron or thundersub on TV anymore)If u can, restrict them to Disney channel and cbeebies. If you can't (ie no cable tv) then buy Barney DVDs .
Then we should bond with them let them trust us so much they tell you anything bothering them first before anybody.
Chaz B I must add to every other persons' comment you are doing a great job here God bless u real good Bros!

Hi Dex…I'm feeling you right here…Grow up with awesome parents as well (didnt think so when i was a child, thought they were mean) and my mom was not a housewife, she was a medical doctor and had to take calls and emergencies. Together, by God's grace, they raised us well and we had no househelps too, as soon as the eldest of us turned 9. TV and video watching was restricted and discipline was tops. so you see, the issue isnt wives working really…its who we are. Bring back the cane…the Bible cant be wrong, the cane would drive away foolishness from a child, so lets keep the cane but ensure that the kids know the reason they are being whipped. that doesnt make you their enemy, make them your friend by winning theri trust but discipline them all the same.Lets stick to the word of God…God is the author of family and we can make it if we follow his priciples.
Nice job Chaz….may the Lord increase your greatness and comfort you on every side!
Grace said on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 16:52
''The fear of the Lord, is the begining of wisdom'', I tell you, if parents abide by the word of God, children will be brought up in the way of the Lord.
Kemi said on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 16:59
Hi Dex…i am feeling you there, that story so easily replicates my childhood. parents both worked and my mum was a doctor, she had to take calls and attend to emergencies. they disciplined us…no househelps and my God, did they whip us when we did wrong? the Bible is right, the rod will drive foolishness away from the child. just take time to explain to the child why he/she is being whipped and maintain the relationship with your kids so they can talk with you.
In retrospect, i owe them big time. Value are key like Dex said, not how many free hours the mother has. We should go back to the word of God, He's the author of family after all and if we follow his principles the entire 9 yards, we cant get it wrong.
God bless you Chaz…may He increase your greatness and comfort you on every side.

Napoleon said on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 20:59
I'm with you ma'am. If we leave our kids for the society to raise, we'll be having a terrible generation to deal with, but both parents should collectively train and discipline their children. broken homes are not good for kids, that is given. As you said, we should always be there, and be a perfect example to them…
Napoleon said on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, 21:27
I think we parents should not make the same mistakes some of our parents made..We shouldnt be too liberal or too autholitatian, but know how to balance the two. Kids need an environment of love, peace and acceptance, at the same time they need someone to control them. Once we bring our children up in the way of the Lord and support them in prayer everyday, the whole equation is solved….only God can help in this big task of raising kids…By the way, ths whole website idea is very great, at least I can say whats on my mind too.

It was so awesome yesterday. I am not yet married but I felt the impact of the message. I believe that this message should not be for parents alone but for the "would be's " as well. This is the best way to raise a generation that would serve God and their own generation
Please I would like to have a copy of the CD if possible.
God bless you Chaz B, you are a gift to this generation, your oil will not run dry.

Napoleon said on Thursday, October 15, 2009, 11:32
I dont think the leaders failure is due to full time "houewifing". its down to their personality and all that. And me and my broda grew up watching voltron and thundersub(i didnt like it), but cartoons dont make d kids bad. Parents should find a way to modify what their kids are watching and know what they watch so as to know their pattern. And please, we cant judge with Barney(its new, let d kids that watched it grow up, and yes some are grown and are dull). though I hate the whole house wfie thing, but lets not blame that for the country, our leaders are just plainly wicked.
And I concur with you on the whole housemaid thing, I grew up fine without one. and my mum was working..and so far I came out fine.

Hi Uncle Chaz and Adeola,
i must confess it was a nice show yesterday i really enjoy the message by that pastor i believe it would go a long way but at the same time why cant we have a campaign on POSITIVE PARENTING where you collaborate with churches and media houses and other private organisation to organise a campaign on this issue beacause for me it is a NATIONAL ISSUE THAT DEMAND URGENT ATTENTION. and if the Govt could not do anything i believe WE CAN MAKE THE CHANGE TO HAPPEN.
thanks

Hello Chaz B & Deola,
Yesterday’s program was absolutely different. Thank God I am recieving this information now before i start having my own children. My fiance was with me when the program was on and he really bless God for IFm. You guys are doing a great job. I did not have a good parental care but thanks to God that I have a better covenant (am a christian). Am from a muslim home and my parent are separated but my parent allowed us to choose our own religion. Yes, it was challenging but all Glory belong to God. Every week, i got to build myself up with inspirational talk from IFm. THank you once again.If we don’t build ourselves up, we can’t be a good parent to our children. It all starts from us.

Well, what can we say; all said and done, Chaz b has giving a lot to parents and to-be parent through this medium but sincerely i think we need the grace of God and prayers to carry it out. There are a lot of parents who wishes to bring up their children in the way of Lord and responsible also but somehow they are not finding it easy “Paul said those things i wish to do i don’t do but those things i don’t wish to do is what i find myself doing”. It is the grace of God that makes in difference in a man. We need His grace more than ever before. May God help us. Amen
Chaz b, you are giving to your generation and to the society at this time; even without our prayers God will definately bless you because His word says”Give and it shall be given back to you” Brother you are blessed and highly favoured. Keep up the good work. We love you!!

There was a lady who called on Friday and said calling our children kids is wrong and the term is meant for only the young of a goat. Wel, I beg to disagree. The term kid is meant for the following: child: a young person of either sex; "she writes books for children"; "they're just kids"; "`tiddler' is a British term for youngster"
soft smooth leather from the hide of a young goat; "kid gloves"
Kyd: English dramatist (1558-1594)
pull the leg of: tell false information to for fun; "Are you pulling my leg?"
child: a human offspring (son or daughter) of any age; "they had three children"; "they were able to send their kids to college"
be silly or tease one another; "After we relaxed, we just kidded around" young goat. I think it's crazy when fanatical people get some ideas into their heads and try to shove it down everyone else's throat. Note: The term KID also refers to the young of humans. PERIOD!

Hey Chez B, Compliments of the season..As regards he above topic i trully believe that OUR kids tend to relive what they see the parents do. I know for sure that 1) from ages 1day to 10yrs of a childs live are in the hands of what de parents put in their brains. 2) Ages 10-20yrs the child then starts to battle between who and what to believe (My parents OR My Friends), at ths stage we cannot fully scold the kids BUT can ONLY pray and advice the kids to follow their hearts having in mind the teachings of the Bible and The parents…More comments later
