Though it mightiness seem pretty bromidic to a lot of peoples today, the old Andy D. w. griffith Show actually did have a lot of common sense family values that we could discover from today.
Take for instance the episode "Bailey's Bad Boy" that guest asterisked Bill Bixby as a spoiled rich adolescent who wanted his rich dad to bail him out of jail once he got in trouble in Mayberry. Bixby's character sees the perfect example of parenting from Andy once
Taylor does Opie stand on his own two feet and pay for a window he had broken. Too often in real life we bail our kids out of everything. You don't actually do your kid a favor once
you take away any chance they mightiness have of acquiring a personal sense of responsibility. No matter how small the occurrence if your child breaks thing
even as by accident, take the time to explain to the child the importance of taking responsibility for the things we do. I'm not expression you should get angry and act like the Astounding Hulk, just explain to the kid that if he breaks things or does a mess he has to clear it up, and then do sure they do.
One of the most celebrated episodes of Andy D. w. griffith was the episode entitled "Opie the Birdman". Opie accidentally kills a parent bird departure her baby birds all alone. Andy doesn't sugar coat the situation. He doesn't yell and scream like a cat under a rocking chair either. He just simply opens a window and let's Opie hear the baby birds crying for their mother, and points out to Opie the hard fact that his actions have consequences. Sometimes we shelter our kids from every type of responsibility possible, piece at the same time allowing them to absorb hours of violence and sex on the TV and video games.
Today we have much than ready-made sure our kids have material things. They have video games, televisions in their room, so galore toys there is not enough time to play with them, but we shirk our responsibility on the biggest, most important part of raising a kid, the part wherever
you actually raise them up to be adults. Fun and toys are great. Every child ought to have fun, but they should be slowly growing up too. So my humble suggestion is like Andy Taylor aforesaid do sure your boy or girl can stand on their own two feet. No chance is too small to begin inculcation these important lessons. It's just like the Bible says "Train up a child in the way he should go: and once
he is old, he wish not depart from it. "
Taking your kid fishing like Andy did Opie is not that bad either. If that isn't your cup of tea then certainly you can enjoy going to the park with your kid or playing thing
outside. Most kids ne'er
seem to want to venture outside anymore. They're missing an important part of development and growing much and much corpulent every year. Health is another important aspect of life that kids need to take responsibility for. Even as children are developing diabetes, which they wouldn't have normally, due to diet and lack of physical activity. The fact of the matter is, in the long run protective
our kids from facing the consequences of their actions now wish mean greater consequences later down the line. So be like Andy and open the window and let your kid hear the birds, and don't be afraid to let him or her pay for a broken window occasionally.
