Since when did children listen to
anything that parents suggest?
Yes, you have to show by example, but again children do not take seriously the example of their parents.
I am of the wrong generation really....I find texting seriously tedious......but then I do not feel the need to be in constant contact by technology to someone sitting in the same room(I see teens texting one another when they are sat just a few feet away from one another.....very ill mannered...a bit like whispering when in company- see I told you I was the wrong generation).
Maybe children in school should be taken by their teachers to see the results of accidents like these.....to have contact with the friends and parents of those who lose their lives in crashes like this....we have to let children see the misery it causes.
We can try our best to educate our children, but in the end we have to set them free to make their own mistakes......children never learn from the mistakes their parents made. They
always think they are cleverer and will not make those mistakes.
