Truckers and their spouses need to have good parenting skills.

Good parenting skills will be key for life as a trucker. With one parent out of the house most of the time. The spouse at home is basically single parenting.

An Abundance of parenting resources today should make it easy for parents to get the information and tools necessary to put the child on the right track early and efficiently.

Unfortunately, the outside influences on the children present an ongoing challenge for the children to stay on the right path. This makes good parenting skills as important as any other priority a parent could possibly have. Parents should take advantage of all resources available to help mold their child i a way that would give them a fair chance in reaching their potential in life.

It only takes a look at any town's local news stories and compare the frequency of violent crimes with a few years ago.

As truckers it is especially important for the spouse or caretaker at home to be an effective parent. I made a cd that addresses some issues that I felt was very important to be taught to the youth. You know by know I am know professional speaker however I think you will find a lot of the material very important.

(Some may not pertain to you because it covers more than one ethnic, more than one culture, more than one background.)

Hint: What that means is you will actually get an extra lesson showing you insight of the culture of other people. When something sounds strange to you, then you know it is totally relevant to another culture or else I wouldn't be addressing it!

So then your like wow, that's really an issue? All of a sudden you may have a different perspective of certain things when observing the actions of other different from you. (Hope I didn't loose you!)

This CD is my attempt at addressing what i feel is necessary to prepare our youth for the real world. I will be making it available soon for free (for a limited time) to my subscribers to get your feedback. You may find some better parenting resources here about parenting in the mean time.

Coming Soon

Too often we let our children raise themselves instead of teaching them the things that would benefit them as they encounter predictable (and unpredictable) circumstances that brings many people to their knees. (temptation, other negative influences)

This happens usually as a result of not getting the lessons and life skills from home that would have armored the mind, body and soul from a young age for a war with the world.

We all know that life isn't fair and we need every advantage possible to get and stay ahead. So we also should be teaching all we can teach to our children. Some things are so obvious we overlook or take for granted that it will be taught in school or just learned as time passes.

This is a fatal (well maybe not fatal but just as bad) mistake that is made over and over and over and over and over again. Lol(Did i get carried away?)

It is the parents responsibility to teach the child the lessons, principles, morals and values needed to run a successful campaign as a leader on their block, in their school, job, organization or in life.

It is the parents responsibility to make sure that child knows what he or she needs to know to succeed, to understand that there are consequences to his or her choices and actions, to know that people matter more than material things, to recognize opportunity and to love thy neighbor.

Not the schools, not the governments, not the Sunday school or church, not the organizations they belong to or the teams they play on, not the boys scouts or girls scouts or any other extra curricular activity that may engage in any similar character building practices.

Everything else that is done to reinforce what the parent should be teaching is just 'sharpening the saw.' (or polishing the shine)Its extra, its a bonus. Parents shouldn't put their child's future solely in the hands and at the mercy of other people who can't possibly love their child as much as the parent.

Certain entities even could benefit from intentionally not ensuring that the child's preparedness for life is not up to par. Therefore it is totally senseless for the parent to not be diligently engaged in an active role as a parent.
