There are absolute ‘rights and wrongs’ in life, and there is
an even wider range of grey areas. Even laws and legislation change. The
disparity in opinions engages unpleasant emotions, resentment and hatred.
Opinions are far and wide; everybody has one. The Generation Gap (perceived or
real) exists.
Parents want to be helpful. They, too, want to feel useful.
In practice, many feel impotent when they face defiant teenagers and the Black
Sheep of the family. They then panic, and seek advice from a wide variety of
sources, and resources. This can add to the confusion, and accelerate the
tensions.
When do you begin to formulate your wisdom? How do you know
what you teach will be of value? Intention is powerful. It is a motivator of
truth and relevance. How will you connect your wisdom with contemporary needs
of a Generation Y, or Strawberry Generation? DEspite the dramas associated with parents and siblings, family is still Family!
Leadership Lessons:
How would you teach Life Lessons to your children? How would you ensure that
these lessons are heard? How would you attend to your children’s mistakes?
