Happy Father's Day - Training Sons to become responsible fathers

For Father's Day, make an effort to develop sons to become responsible fathers
'Read today and become better tomorrow'— Geary Reid
LINDEN HIGHWAY, REGION 4, GUYANA, June 15, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Parents must make every effort to train their sons to become responsible fathers. Geary Reid, as a father and husband, strives to impart important lessons to parents, encouraging them to invest in the development of their sons and become responsible fathers.
Section A: Boyhood
During the stage of boyhood, each parent should understand that boys will experiment with many things, which will provide them with personal life experiences and teach various lessons. This is a critical stage for every parent to train and develop their sons. Imparting good values, morals, manners, and other key life skills to sons during the early phase of their lives is essential, as it sets a solid foundation for their future.
Boys need guidance. While external persons can provide some guidance, it is often good for them to receive advice from their parents and siblings. Parents usually recognize their children's strengths and weaknesses and know how to help them. Proper guidance and encouragement can lead to children quickly developing and, therefore, becoming valuable resources to their parents and society.
Educating boys is essential for ensuring that they play important roles in our societies in the future. Education is unbiased, so parents must ensure that their sons are properly educated consistently. Sports and games are also important for boys, as they learn to be disciplined and cooperate with others. Through sports, team spirit and accountability will be understood, and boys can apply these qualities to their relationships when they become husbands.
Parents must train their children to respect everyone. Boys may sometimes show resistance to this, but as parents constantly remind their sons, many of those boys will learn to respect everyone, and people will begin to talk about how mannerly they are.
Having a relationship with the Creator is important for both adults and children. The example set by parents in this regard is one that their children will likely follow. Many children go on to have a continuous relationship with the Creator and eventually take on major roles within religious institutions. Moral values must be taught within the home. Both boys and girls must learn some important moral lessons so that when they have their own families, they will be able to pass these values on to their families.
Most boys will learn about sex from schoolmates, neighbors, and other people, but the information they learn is sometimes incorrect. Therefore, parents must be one of the major teachers of sexual education within their homes. The experience that parents have is reasonable enough to guide their sons. Parents should guide their sons on being in a relationship, emphasizing that there are more important things than sex in a relationship. This guidance is especially important for boys of adolescent age. Family planning may be taught primarily to girls, but this practice needs to change, and both sons and daughters should become aware of family planning before entering into relationships.
Section B: Manhood
When sons move from boyhood to manhood, they have entered another important phase in their lives. They are expected to demonstrate many of the things that their parents taught them. There are some areas in which these men will still need to improve, since no parent can teach a child everything.
During this phase of manhood, men will put to the test the things they have learned from their parents and friends. Sometimes, they want to explore life. They are willing to take on new challenges, even if they fail. Gaining experience for oneself will include both failure and success. Those who want to be successful must be willing to try, rather than spending most of their time only thinking of what it may be like.
The money earned by men must be used wisely, so when they are ready to establish their own families, they have their portion of the money. To manage their finances effectively, people need to increase their earnings, make informed investments, and carefully control their spending. When men manage their money during their single life, they may be good stewards within their new family.
When a woman is looking for a companion, she may seek a man who knows how to perform domestic tasks. While she does not expect him to be the only person doing the domestic activities at home, at least his contribution will have a significant impact on the family. Men who were taught by their parents to be involved in domestic activities must make great use of those skills, which will help their family to have more time for love and laughter.
Finding a companion may not be as easy as finding a job. Those who are looking for companions must have values and seek those who have the potential to contribute to the growth of their family. There are many places to find a suitable companion. Once a person sees a companion and is reasonably satisfied with that individual, then it is time to consider marriage.
Section C: Fatherhood
Having a family is not a task for boys, but for men who are committed and want to make a positive contribution to their families and society. Some men are running away from family life, while others are running towards it. Not everyone knows that there is a great commitment for those who want to live with a companion and children.
Those men who are fathers are expected to be good fathers to their children. Every child wants a father who sets a good example for them to follow, and many children use their fathers as role models. Fathers must also be willing to take their children to the clinics, watch movies with them, and play with them. When fathers attend Parent-Teacher Association meetings, they send a positive message to teachers that they are interested in their children's educational development.
Protecting the family is a job entrusted to fathers, not to security companies, and the protection provided by fathers is more than just their physical strength. Women sometimes marry men because they need someone to protect them, and children love to know that they have a father who can protect them. Fathers and mothers can provide for the family. When fathers are the main source of financing for the family, they must be delighted to do so for their family.
Fathers must be firm yet gentle with their children, although children may not always appreciate their fathers being firm. When fathers are firm, it helps boys to desist from doing the wrong things and following people who will not contribute to their success.
Children must learn to respect their parents, friends, and neighbors. The respect shown to persons will cause those children to win friendships and give them great success. Parents, teach your children to respect everyone, and teach your sons to be responsible fathers so that their families will be happy in the future.

Life After High School: Are Teens And Parents On The Same Page?

When it comes to big life decisions, like what to do after high school, how much influence do parents have on their kids' choices? Who else do teens turn to for advice? And do these individuals have enough information to provide students with solid guidance? As an organization committed to changing the way kids learn about careers and prepare for their futures, the answers to questions like these guide our work. That's why American Student Assistance (ASA) conducted a nationwide survey of 3,000 7th-12th graders. We asked them to share their post-high school plans, who is influencing their decisions, and what their influencers are saying. In this second of three articles on the survey, we'll explore what the data says about the role of parents, their thoughts, and the implications. Students rely on their parents for advice Students are influenced by a network of people. On average they turn to 2.6 individuals for advice on their postsecondary plans. This group includes parents, other family members, teachers, counselors, friends, and the media. But parents are by far the biggest influence. More than nine in 10 teens discussed their plans with their parents. As students approach graduation, parental influence increases. Only 35% of middle school students said their parents influenced their post-graduation plans. That percentage grew to 38% for lower high school students and 47% for upper high school students. Parental approval is higher for conventional pathways While college has long been considered the only pathway to success, the survey found that only 45% of teens plan to enroll in a two- or four-year college (down 28 points from 2018) while 14% intend to follow a nondegree pathway—vocational/trade school, apprenticeship program, or bootcamp certification program (up 9 points from 2018). This trend indicates young people are becoming increasingly aware of their postsecondary options, and that some are deciding that college may not be the best choice for them. Of the teens intending to enroll in a four-year college, 82% said their parents approved of their plans. This percentage drops to 74% for students planning on a two-year college program. But when it comes to nondegree pathways, nearly a third (30%) of teens said their parents disagreed with their choice. Parents need more information One reason for this difference in approval could be a lack of awareness of nondegree pathways as well as lack of confidence that they will lead to good paying jobs among parents. In Beyond Degrees, a study by Jobs for the Future (JFF) and ASA, 43% of parents said they had heard not much or nothing at all about nondegree pathways, but they were eager to learn more. Eighty-eight percent expressed interest in finding out more about these opportunities. In the words of one parent, 'I would like to know all the options available for my child after high school.' Since 90% of students discuss their post-graduation plans with their parents, it's important that they, along with other teen influencers, understand all of the options so they can provide sound guidance. Policy makers, educators, and workforce development organizations would be wise to include this network of influencers in their future career readiness initiatives. Stay tuned for the last article in my three-part series on this survey, which will look at students' perceptions about the resources they need to plan their next steps after high school. And to delve deeper into teen attitudes, perceptions, and intentions after graduation, read the first article in this series.

Princess Josephine of Denmark, 14, Makes Surprise Decision About Her Future

The Danish Royal House said that King Frederik's daughter was making the move "at her own request"NEED TO KNOW Princess Josephine of Denmark has announced a change in her school plans The update came from the Danish Royal House on Aug. 11 Princess Josephine, 14, is the first of King Frederik and Queen Mary's four kids to make this movePrincess Josephine of Denmark is charting her own royal destiny, starting in the classroom. On Aug. 11, the Danish Royal House announced that the youngest daughter of King Frederik and Queen Mary has chosen to enroll in a new school for the upcoming year. The move marks a big change for Princess Josephine, as she has attended Kildegård Private School since 2023. The news was shared in a statement titled "The education and schooling of the royal children," which featured updates about the plans for all four of King Frederik and Queen Mary's children for the near future. The royal couple is parents to Crown Prince Christian, 19, Princess Isabella, 18, and twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, 14. "HRH The Crown Prince continues his education in the Armed Forces, while the Royal Couple'sother three children begin a new school year," the statement began, detailing that Crown Prince Christian will head back to Antvorskov Barracks in Slagelse to complete his military training at a Lieutenant's Training Course. Meanwhile, Princess Isabella will continue her upper secondary education at ØregårdGymnasium, where Crown Prince Christian graduated from in June 2024. Isabella is expected to graduate in the summer of 2026, becoming an alum of the school her brother, father and uncle Prince Joachim all attended! While Prince Vincent will continue his education at Tranegårdsskolen, completing his 8th grade year at the same school he has attended since 2017, his twin is making moves. "HRH Princess Josephine has chosen, at her own request, to continue her education in the 8th grade at Spir Efterskole," the statement said. Spir Efterskole is a boarding school in Jutland, which means the young princess will be attending a school about three hours away from her parents' main base of Frederik VIII's Palace in Amalienborg, Copenhagen. According to Royal Central, Princess Josephine's school switch marks a milestone among her siblings as she becomes the first to live away from home for her education. King Frederik and Queen Mary's twins both enrolled at Tranegårdskolen in Hellerup in August 2017 when they were 6, and Prince Vincent has gone to school there since. His twin sister, meanwhile, made a move to Kildegård Private School, also in Hellerup, in August 2023, making the change for 6th grade. Like many royal parents of their generation, King Frederik and Queen Mary prioritize their children's education and balance the spotlight on them with plenty of family time.

My husband is 10 years older than me. The age gap was noticeable when we first started parenting, but now I see it as an asset.

When I met my now-husband I was 19 and he was 29. Initially, our age gap highlighted differences in life experiences and parenting styles. A decade later, these differences are no longer a source of friction. I met my now-husband and father of my children when I was only 19, still a sophomore in college, living with my parents. He was 29, living in a home he owned, operating his own business, and was already a father to a 3-year-old son. In the greenest part of our relationship, our age difference was most evident in the way our minds worked. Mine was still learning how to be an adult, while he had a firm grasp on who he was. He was actively raising a child, and I had just been one myself a few years prior. Still, I fell right into loving and parenting his son with him. Three years later, we began having our own children together and ventured off onto an entirely different learning curve. At first, we had to navigate boundaries When all we had was our oldest (my bonus son, as I call him), I set boundaries for myself. I let my husband handle most of the discipline and never overrode his decisions, even if I had a different opinion. I respected that he was his biological parent (and he had a biological mother in the picture too) and I was not. When I gave birth to my first biological child, I remember grappling with the feeling of, "This is fully my child. He isn't any more mine or his. He is as much my son as he is my husband's." I also felt inferior in some ways, because I knew my husband had already raised a baby successfully, and I was just trying to figure out what I was doing. Our son was colicky as a newborn, and my husband was so good at getting him to stop crying. You know when you're holding someone else's baby and they start to cry, so you hand them back to their parents? I caught myself doing that a few times with my own baby and husband. That made me feel like I wasn't capable of handling my son on my own. Our perspectives shifted and we adjusted timelines We welcomed a third child into our family — a daughter — when our oldest was 10 and our other son was 4. I liked the way our kids were spaced out. I felt like I had time to enjoy each one of them in their youngest years. Around the time we had our daughter, though, my husband started thinking more about his age, and it became a factor in how we moved forward with our family. "I don't want to be at retirement age by the time our youngest graduates high school," he'd say. And while plenty of people continue having children well into their 40s, that wasn't something my husband wanted to do, and I respected that. This eventually compelled me to wind my own biological clock up to tick at a faster pace. I wanted one more baby, and so did he, but we had to close the gap between kids three and four — so we had our last son a month before our daughter turned 2. Time has taught us a lot Now, over a decade into parenting together, the age gap that once felt like a noticeable lapse in experience just feels like balance. There are moments where our perspectives still differ — when I want to give the kids the benefit of the doubt while he wants to follow through with discipline to teach them lessons — but our differences are no longer a source of friction. They're part of what makes our parenting dynamic work. Our children get the best of both of us, and I've come to believe the space between our ages has given us more to offer, not less.
