FAMILY SERVING HUMANITY

“The challenges affecting our family like digital technology, drugs/alcohol, peer pressure/teen pregnancy, degradation of moral values, materialism, single parenting, etc. We are leading with millenials and this is a digital age, this is reality. Let us know who to deal with them and not lead them to teen depression because we pressure them (i.e. to become 1st honor, etc); As parents, we have also ‘MAL Parenting’ like misbehavior (what adult do they follow, etc); absenteeism (parents who are also present but not emotionally involve); lack of parenting (skills and knowledge) – gap between dad and son, mother and daughter of both; The greatest thing that a parent can do for their children is to love and respect his/her spouse (remember your marriage vow); nurture your marriage with priority like bringing back the courtship day, express love and affection, make time, go out on a ‘dates’ and communicate effectively. Parenting is a vocation, duty, challenge and a never ending process. Strengthen it with knowing, understanding, respect, and accept your child as he/she is. Know your child/children, keep in touch with empathy, impose discipline by explaining the house rules (according to age), make time, create and enjoy intimate moments, build memories, do things together and remember the memories. More importantly, put spiritual dimension into your family. Pray together as family, put conscience (what is right and wrong), teach virtues (prudence, temperance, concern for others, patience); influence the Rotary core values (service to others, integrity and leadership).” Topic: FAMILY SERVING HUMANITY: “THE ROLE OF THE FAMILY IN UPLIFTING THE LIVES OF THE MARGINALIZED” – speaker – Mr. Tiburcio and Mrs Evangeline Evalle (EduChild Foundation).
