i dont have eny children and wont for a while. (some of you are saying "thank god!") but have always wondered how a person could rase a smart humble and athletic kid. a few i know of is:

- read to them when they are young
- get them to write a diary. (increases memory and writing skill)
- get them interested in sports. (gyemnastics, martial arts, and football)

Let them do what they want, but if they get out of line give 'em a good spanking.

if that worked then i wouldn't be a fat lazy peice of shit who sat in front of a tv for the first 8 yrs of my life.

my mother died and my dad was to lazy to drive me to t-ball or cubscouts.

anyway back on topic: i have a theory that intelagance is not totaly genetic. i believe that struggle is one of the fastest ways of growth. struggle agent any thing will do, could be winning the game or defieting a mountain, it all makes you stonger. what is the best way to make a child think long and hard without hurting him\her?

For your kid to be the best he can be it takes a lot of work from the parents and believe it or not it's the environment also...a kid raised in a city with his parents will behave and have a different personallity then if he was raised in a simple town...

and along with the parents/environment another major factor is the kids friends...if he hangs out with a good crowd then he'll more likely be good...and vice versa...so there's no real one thing that will make a kid the way you want him to be..all you can do is monitor what he does and just try your best to get along with him/her

and like you said having the kid experience many things can also help...but it's never certain if he'll use the experience for good or bad

So you're saying that it's your parents' fault that you're a "fat lazy peice of shit who sat in front of a tv" for the first 8 yrs of your life? That kind of thinking is just selfish. It's your own fault that you ended up the way you are.

>smart humble and athletic kid.

Well that's easy. Since you can't mandate how your kid turns out, just have lots of them. They generally like to be different from each other so you should get enough range to have those three traits combined after 10-11 or so, me thinks.

>>Let them do what they want
>if that worked then i wouldn't be a fat lazy peice of shit who sat in front of a tv

Hmm, well I don't own a TV so I guess my kid would be safe. ^^ That or watch over at a friend's house, which would be nice as I wouldn't have to take care of the little parasite...

Guts · 2004-03-14, 17:32

Easy, give them religion. A good nuclear family structure, and forcibly make sure the follow there responcibilities. All 3 of these are key, for them to fit into a systematic society, with a good % of surviving.

nak · 2004-03-14, 18:05

Give them a slap on the rump every once in a while when they are being bad and otherwise, let them experience as much that is appropriate for them and make sure they know their limits and boundries and what they can or cannot do. That and teach them respect and manner and make sure to show them the proper way to use it. ^_^

I don't think forcing religion on your kids is the way to go. Sysematic, structured society? Whatever. I'll point my kids in the right direction, but I'm not going to force any of my beliefs on them. Its their life and its their choice. Of course if they want to know what I believe I'll share it with them. I think raising kids these days has to be harder than it ever was because of all the 'bad' temptations (playing too many video games, watching too much TV). Also most of the middle/high school kids I see these days are just.....disgustingly pathetic. Makes me want to home school my kids because I know that at a young age, peers influence kids a lot more than parents. (I know because I used to hang out with the 'wrong crowd' until I started running cross country. Then I started caring about my grades and what I was doing with my life).

Tell them to do manly things like drinking beer and watching porno. Cuz if they were to turn out gay, that would just be damn disrepectful and un-christian.

Thats the cute :P

Demosthenes: well i think it's good to encourage them to do stuff like sports or writing (whatever you think is good for the kid), but don't force them to do it. Don't even put it this way " Johny I think it's good that you sign up for bball caused it's good for you". Explain to them the importance of being fit. Or "Billy i signed you up for some litreture for after school cause it's good for you", it would be better to show them the importance of being smart and let them decide how they are gonna achieve it.

k. we get it. you're gay. Dramaqueenness ++. I didn't know being a lil baby was included with your sexuel orientation.

xavier8200 · 2004-03-14, 19:31

Athletics is more than likely a genetic gift. Its either your good or not. It depends on how far you want the child to go. or rather how far the child wants to go. Seeing how it is genetic, how good are you and your family with sports? if you suck marry some hulked up body builder olympian chick and it will increase the possibilities.

For the other stuff just raise the kid with common sense don't forget to give them a whoopin with a belt or extension cord or whatever depending on the crime. Its alright to be sort of strict but not Abusive.

Genetics is for the athletic part. Whoopins to humble the kid and as far as the smart thing. get the kid into a really good daycare and grade school also keep up in the reading. My mom owns a daycare and its a fact that most people who struggle in school weren't able to read at the third grade level when they were supposed to.

Hope that helps!

The only thing I really have to say would be let the child do pretty much what they want but make sure you put them in line when they do the wrong thing. This is what my parents have done to me, I can do basically anything I want, and they leave it up to my own judgement as to what is right and wrong, what I should and should not do. I do not drink, smoke or anything like that. I think it more depends on the personality of the child though, you really don't know what will work and what won't. I think church on a regular basis is something that may help as well. Give them a deeply engrained sense of right and wrong, give them strong morals to work from.
