Soft Love and your Children

As part of human evolution, we learned to talk.

Grandmothers passed down knowledge and experience of child rearing by ‘word-of- mouth’ to mothers. However, with our more mobile society, that advice is frequently not available.

Today we need to pool what knowledge and experience there is and to take much greater responsibility for our role as parents and trainers of future citizens of our society.

The tragedy of our time is to see evidence of so many ’feral’ children.

Not all ‘feral’ children come from poor or deprived backgrounds. What they have been deprived of is ‘tough love’ by soft or negligent parents. If we don’t toughen up, we can look to an increasingly savage society!

One of the things we need to do is realise when ‘soft-love’ is not benefiting our children. However, no one thinks it is easy, especially if children have had an experience of being left to run their lives as they thought fit to suit themselves.

I hope you will find helpful ideas and guidance here.
