There are some things in life you just don’t forget. I can remember when I was a little boy growing up and my mom and dad had their family rules and traditions. As I reminiscence on yesterday and consider the morals that was set for me when I growing up I can’t but thank both my parents for having family values that has lasted a lifetime. I often find myself raising my daughter with the same family values I grew up with. Having respect for your elders and respecting those in authority positions. Showing respect to others regardless of how you treated and learning to be trustworthy and honest in relationships.
I often find myself using the same methods but with a different twist to keep everything up-to-date with her generation. However, I do not compromise with the disciplines that work most effectively. Good ole fashion but whipping is still one of the best methods of discipline today. I’m still here after forty plus years of living; and I did not die when either one of my parents put a belt on my butt.
Today’s children attempt to threaten their parents by telling them they’re call the police or some social service program if you use a belt to whip their behind. A good psychological way of nipping this in the bud; is simply giving your child the phone number of the agency or police department and tell them to give them a call. As a parent the best way to discipline your children is to do it with a calm spirit; which can be hard to do at times. Never discipline your child when you are angry. This is where abuse can come into effect, and you could get yourself in trouble with corporal punishment if you find yourself breaking your child’s skin or leaving bruise marks while discipling your children.
Always think before you act and consider other methods of punishment before you automatically jump to corporal punishment. Sometimes corporal punishment doesn’t always work. Even though I believe and know it’s still effective today. You will guarantee yourself and your children and their children good family values if you start early in their lives with whatever method of discipline you choose for your family. Every family is different; every child is different, so pay close attention to which works best for you and your family. I’m certain if you look back over your life I’m sure there was someone who showed you they cared. Whether it was your father, step-father or natural parent, legal guardian, foster-parent, older sibling; somewhere along the way there were some kind of strong family value that shaped the way you are today.
When it comes to relationships, there are many different reasons that two people will be attracted to each other. Some people will tell you that it was love at first sight and there are even instances where two people who ended up falling in love actually hated each other the first time that they met. This is why it is so hard to figure out why men love women who love horses.
You can ask any couple where the woman is a horse lover why they get along so well and every couple will give you a different answer. One small thing that couples have in common who are involved with horses (whether it be the just the woman or both) is that they enjoy the lifestyle that comes with owning horses.
Now each member of the relationship will have different reasons for enjoying the life style that surrounds horses. A woman for instance will enjoy the companionship that a horse brings to their lives. Horses are great to talk to because they will always listen and the best part is that they will never interrupt you by talking back.
A man will tell you that the reason that they enjoy having horses in the relationship is that it keeps their wives happy and everyone knows that when a wife is happy a husband will also be happy. Men will also tell you that while their wives are at the barn tending to the horses and riding, they have total access to the television and can watch anything that they want without their wives telling them to change the channel or turn down the volume.
Both men and women will tell you that owning horses is a great family activity for families with or without children. Families without children can travel around the country to attend sponsored trail rides with other horse enthusiasts. There are several breed associations that will sponsor trail rides in different state parks and canyons as a way for other horse lovers to met and spend time doing something that they love.
Families with children can also take part in these trail rides, but some of them are rather long and a small child may not be able to make it the entire distance; however, there are many other activities that families with children can get involved. Many counties have 4-H clubs that children can become members of and most of these clubs will have some type of horse program that will teach children the correct way to ride. Many times these different 4-H clubs will get together and put on horses shows where children can compete against one another.
Many parents find that this is a great way to keep their children out of trouble and teach them what it means to be responsible. Having horses is also a great way to bribe children into making good grades in school.
While determining why couples who own horses are so happy is not an exact science, there is one thing that these couples have in common. They are fun loving people who just want to raise good, happy children.
