The negativity a child surpasses upon growing up may or may not produce negative behavior.

In other words, if a child is given negative influences throughout his or her life, it is up to that child (who is now an adult) to overcome this negative pattern, turn it around for their good and become more than what is expected according to societal means.

On the positive aspect, children need to be motivated when it comes to accomplishing their goals and not let anyone stand in the way of their dreams.

Give them the ambition to go for their dreams of what they want to be when they grow up and leading them into steps such as graduating high school, graduating college, finding the right person and starting a family, being successful in their career.

Children in today’s society need positive reinforcements to steer them in the right direction for their future.

There are dangerous situations going on in this world, which involve our children in society, and as adults we need to be aware of our children’s surroundings, by finding out

1. Who they are associating with in school

2. Their friends in the neighborhood who are their parents

3. Are their teachers motivational skilled leaders as well as the school staff

Conclusion: We are to teach them that the

good things in life outweigh the bad and to love your neighbor as yourself. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.

As previously stated, life is full of disappointments and what we choose to do with those disappointments are totally up to the individual; who can choose toregress or accelerate for a higher purpose for themselves.
