Thoughts on Duty with Children

My son said something yesterday that made me sad. “I don’t believe she will come. Every time she says she is coming to the house something else comes up.” These comments sparked this short blog.

Children are born to explore, to create, and to be optimistic about tomorrow. They learn trust, develop self-reliance, find self-confidence and more as they relate to adults and explore the world. Unfortunately, not all children grow up in homes that allow them to develop in a positive manner. My children are lucky – they are growing in a supportive environment, and have even the added benefit of forging relationships with an extended network of positive role models and mentors. However, even in the best of situations, my son learned not to depend on friends and certain adults to do what they say. After too many experiences of grandparents, mentors and classmates’ parents making arrangements and then having plans fall through, my son has develop a cynicism regarding scheduling. He does not believe that adults are to be trusted. When preparations are made for an event he has an attitude of, “I’ll believe it when I see it.”

It is a great wake-up call to adults that children watch and learn. It is our responsibility to demonstrate that words have meanings. We can certainly under promise our intentions and then surprise by over delivering, but we cannot continually disappoint. By doing so we are shaping young minds in a way that he or she learns not to count on others, not to trust, and even to pull away. We can break a young spirit without realizing. Children more than adults do not understand the nuance of language, they believe what we tell them and come crashing down when we do not fulfill our end of the bargain. I urge everyone relating to children to remember it is a responsibility not to take lightly. We must watch words and promises and accomplish what we have led children to believe will happen. It is our duty!
