In my opinion, PARENTS ARE TOO PERMISSIVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN NOWADAYS All parents love their children. Parental love is sometimes so big that it makes them blind.

Young people, when they get older, they get used to having everything they want. “Easy come, easy go”- they don’t know how much effort it take to earn money or to go to work on regular basis. From my point of view, children get spoiled and they often hav

Don't forget to leave a comment on the teacher's post + 3 of your classmates posts. - Word Count for post 4: 200 words My son’s kinesiology doctor is Argentinian and when she received my son he was only crawling with no hope of walking. Everybody told us that he would never walk. However, she said, "do you allow me to use all the necessary tools and methodology to help him? Do you promise not to cry when he may cry? Do you commit to be regular when exercising? "We decided to go ahead because the only thing he wanted was to walk. She helped him to be stronger and positive, to fjght frustration and keep smiling no matter the pain or how tired he could be.

You often may help a teen struggling to figure out what career path to take. You could also be lucky enough to become the teacher everyone remembers as the one who cared enough to make a difference. However, making a difference in children's lives takes tremendous dedication and hard work. Teaching can be an exhausting job; physically, mentally and emotionally. You are with other people's children longer than you are with your own family. It i
