Kids, they drive us up the wall but we wouldn’t swap them for the world.

I have four kids, two girls followed by two boys. All of them have their own very different personalities and range of talents, problems too. Today I want to talk more about the girls.

I have too really quite beautiful girls. Looks arn’t everything. How do my girls stay on the straight and narrow? read on!

Some people say that beauty is a curse. Personally I don’t think that’s true. A person accepts who he is and learns to live with what he or she has been given by the almighty creator.

In saying that, beautiful women do attract more of a certain kind of attention. The question is; as parents how do we deal with the fears that go along with having daughters that draw attention like magnets?

Beauty, also, opens doors. There are lessons to learn that teach us which doors are safe to enter and which must be avoided at all costs.

Believe it or not, the training for this starts right at the beginning.

It has a lot to do with how we educate our children, what messages we give them along the way and how we make them feel about themselves.

To me, parental education is a continual stream of carefully selected information that we feed to our children. They need to get familiar with the world and to see behind the facades that people wear, to be able to understand intentions and to always make sure that they are as protected as they possibly can be.

To be able to teach our daughters these lessons we need to focus on truth.

Teaching the love for truth without cinicism is an art form in itself. Yet, I feel that it is at the crux of the issue because the path of truth is one of making the correct choices and it is their ability to make correct choices that ultimately sends us the message that our children are going to be fine.

The love for truth also defines the character of a person. As human beings we have a weakness and that weakness is the false belief that happiness is derived out of being overly concerned with our own happiness. In fact, quite the opposite is the case. By being considerate of the needs of others, children learn that reciprocity is the first key to happiness.

This lesson is easier for girls to learn than boys. Girls assimilate information differently to boys. Girls are more concerned in the well being of the group whether it be family of friends. Boys, on the other hand, are more concerned with the sense of justice.

Some parents choose their daughters friends. I feel that this is a wrong path to take because it does not prepare them well enough for life. In life, we need to know how to be comfortable in every situation and with all types of people while maintaining and not compromising our own set of values.

This ability to reciprocate with everybody without bias is a vital skill for youngsters to learn because it develops insight into the makings of all types of personalities and to know how to deal with each inter personal situation as it arises.

By training our daughters along the path of truth we are opening their horizons as to who they are and why they are here. Truth can never be naive.

We must create an understanding that truth is an ideal that we must always keep in our vision. We should be concious of the dangers but not give them undue weight or attention because danger attracts curiosity and like the cliff it can be dangerous to get too close to the edge.

Love is the ultimate outcome of truth. With love in their hearts and knowledge in their minds our daughters become prepared for the world.
