More PPP

Let's flip the coin of PPP, proper prior parenting before the child is set loose into her or his world. PPP requires a proper respect for human life (as a gift from God). Personal responsibility also is a must. For every right there's a wrong; for each right a duty. If one messes up there are consequences. For a Heaven there's a Hell. For rewards, there are also punishments. Obviously this component (the flip side of false self-esteem) requires personal responsibility for one's actions  Who raises children without a healthy respect for proper behavior and self-control?  How can we explain complete immorality of children (and adults) who fear no punishment for evil actions? Crime requires a punishment. Human actions should be guided by a conscience aware of good and evil.  Our media does not point out the evils committed. Our media does not even show the faces of evil children.  Our authority figures fail in their jobs as adult leaders. Crime merits little punishment today. Woe is us!
