{"quotes":[{"text":"Are You a Parent or a Bully? Mentally and physically abusing your children is NOT okay. Real parenting does NOT consist of bullying your children, belittling your children, manipulating your children, beating your children, or cursing at your children. Children are a blessing! Many women can’t get pregnant and/or carry to term. Think about that! Parenting should be taken seriously. Children need LOVE, support, and guidance, NOT a bully! Children shouldn’t fear their parents. It’s important to create healthy relationships with your children, seriously.","author":"Stephanie Lahart","tags":["bullying","parenthood","parenting","parenting-advice","parenting-children","parenting","parents-and-children","parents-who-bully-their-child","parents-who-bully-their-children","stephanie-lahart","stephanie-lahart"],"id":530,"author_id":"Stephanie+Lahart"},{"text":"The African Challenge - We must end conflict in Africa. We must lead to allow the Africans to enjoy the benefits from their natural resources. We must end poverty in Africa. Every African must be educated, have access to health care and a fair chance to fulfil their dream. Preventable sickness and disease must not reduce life expectancy or rob pregnant women of a chance to continue living. Africa must develop. Africa must not depend on foreign aid. Africa must be united and governed more effectively. Africa must customize her leadership culture and philosophy in a way that gives her global relevance and respect but still remain true and authentic to herself. Will you accept the challenge? Will you be that Africa?","author":"Archibald Marwizi","tags":["africa","attitude","effectiveness","excellence","faith","growth","inspirational","inspirational","leadership","legacy","parenting-children","politics","success","succession"],"id":4833,"author_id":"Archibald+Marwizi"},{"text":"This is not education my friend.

But it isn’t just in governments that these are found; they can permeate through society, where they are rampant in private enterprises and even religious institutions. We need to deal with the causes, not just consequences. You will need to play your role, both as a good example as well as part of the social police force. Cultures and beliefs must change at a personal level as well as at institutional levels.","author":"Archibald Marwizi","tags":["attitude","corruption","education","effectiveness","excellence","faith","growth","inspirational","inspirational","knowledge","leadership","legacy","parenting-children","politics","success","succession"],"id":17182,"author_id":"Archibald+Marwizi"},{"text":"Our children want more than presents, that want our PRESENCE.","author":"Heather Schuck","tags":["inspirational","motherhood","parental-love","parenting-children","parenting-tips"],"id":18802,"author_id":"Heather+Schuck"},{"text":"The upbringing based on criticizing the wrong and rejecting it since childhood is considered to be one of the factors that support the ability to choose the right choice based on correct criteria and overall vision.As much as the sons and daughters practiced this criticism against the mistakes they see in the community as much they will feel more self strength, and will be more able to control their emotions as long as they are convinced with their opinions, which will free them from any feeling of lacking and will avoid them from standing in the position of defending their own beliefs, but vice versa it will give them the ability to express their opinions in the social events which will influence the others, and that is a result that both parents should care to achieve.","author":"Maryam Abdullah Alnaymi","tags":["parenting","parenting-advice","parenting-children","upbringing"],"id":19282,"author_id":"Maryam+Abdullah+Alnaymi"},{"text":"Out of all the things I do, I think being a mom is the most important and satisfying.","author":"Michelle M.
