The human being inherits a wild and primitive conscience in his psyche that is constantly trying to destroy the human side of the conscience through craziness. This fact means that everyone needs craziness prevention, which can be obtained through dream interpretation, according to my adaptation of the scientific method discovered by Carl Jung at the beginning of the last century.

Thanks to the discovery of the existence of the anti-conscience (our primitive conscience that works against our human side) and to the confirmation of the wisdom and perfection of the unconscious mind that produces our dreams, today everyone can easily learn how to translate dream messages. They can understand the directions, advice and warnings of the unconscious mind, that are given to us in a symbolic form so that the anti-conscience won’t understand them; it would otherwise distort their meaning and we would not have the unconscious’ support.

Even if you don’t want to care about your dreams everyday, you must have the basic knowledge about how to fight off craziness, since it is a danger that is constantly threatening you and everyone else.

You have to be a balanced parent, so that you can give a balanced education to your kids.

Your kids need dream interpretation as soon as possible too, because they have to solve many problems that were caused by previous generations, not to mention saving our polluted planet. They have to be strong in order to face so much and yet, find their happiness.

Depression can easily become a neurosis and things can suddenly be out of control when you try to understand what is happening to you, your life, your kids and their lives.

This is why your care for craziness prevention now is the wisest decision you could make, feeling grateful because you have this possibility, which our ancestors didn’t have.

This is why human history is characterized by terror, violence, immorality, misery and despair.

We have to put an end to the human drama and help our teens build a new world where everyone will live happily and everyone will be calm, sensitive, sensible and wise.

When you look around in the world what do you see that you would like to modify or transform? I see a messed up pop culture filled up with teenage girls and young women, walking around on the streets, in the stores, and even in church, half naked! I am, a mother of three home-schooled teenage sons, which makes me kind of embarrassed by these tense moments together when half dressed teenage girls and women walk by and smile flirtatiously at my sons, while their bellies and breasts hang out of their shirts.

Below are some summer wear guidelines for dressing for a casual classy and sophisticated look when going out in public.

1. Shorts and pants should not hang so low off your hips so that when you bend over your butt crack shows.

2. Shorts should not be any higher than two inches above the knee. If shorts are too short they tend to inch up, exposing too much thigh. It is classier to only show a little bit rather than bare all.

3. Shorts should not be so tight that it looks like they were painted on where you can see the outline of a girl’s pubic bone and panty lines. Ouch! That has got to be uncomfortable.

4. Best summer attire for wearing out for the classy lady is kaki shorts one inch above the knee with a tailored short sleeved blouse.

5. Summer dresses and skirts should never be so short that when you bend down, your backside is exposed, or when you sit down, the dress inches up to the top of your thigh. This is your cue that the dress is way too short.

Shirts should fit the wearer properly.

1. Shirts should come completely down to the waist over the shorts or tucked into the shorts so your belly is not hanging out.

2. If you have bigger breasts than a size A, you should wear a bra. There is nothing more sloppy looking than breasts that are left to sag in tight fitting shirts.

3. Bra straps should not show if you are wearing a sleeveless blouse.

4. Blouse or shirt should not be so big, or low cut that when you bend down your cleavage droops down in front of peoples view.

Dressing in this fashion will not stop the stares, and it most likely will get you a few extra from a different breed of men.

I often wonder what my sons are thinking when they see a cute teenage girl, maybe your daughter, wearing only a pair of short-shorts and a skimpy little shirt. Do I dare ask? I don’t really think they will tell me what they are thinking. I look at them and see embarrassed looks on their face, red faced and ashamed that they even smiled back. My teenage sons have been home schooled since the first grade. So you can see how they would not be used to seeing half naked girls too much. The problem is this teenage skin baring is getting worse.

You know what I’m thinking? I’m thinking, where are these girl’s father? I’m thinking why aren’t the fathers protecting their daughters from this sort of exploitation? Does that sound too harsh? I don’t think so. When I see half naked, thirteen, fifteen and sixteen years old, I know what they are doing. They are exhibiting their sexual identities through the only means they know how. This is what they are taught and conditioned to believe because this is all they see going on in the world around them. But they have so much more to offer than this!

Just the other day, I saw people coming out of a Church with shorts and t-shirts on! It’s too late to draw the line, precedents have already been established. At this point, and what I keep saying, is, it is up to the individual to prepare themselves physically and mentally against the temptations of society and for those parents who care about their children to instill the values and principles they will need to equip themselves properly for whatever in the world decides to eat them up from this diseased culture.

Who teaches young girls and women to think they need to go around with their private parts hanging out? Is it the parents fault? I don’t think parents are talking to their children. I think that many Christian homes have become too lax in their values to realize that the culture is becoming more and more corrupt. Parents don’t realize, or don’t care that they are becoming one with this new liberal, “so called Christian” view. Society is literally crazy about nakedness and sex! The blind are leading the blind.

If you are not blind to all of this, then the most important thing you can do for your teenager is to talk to them about the importance of having morals and values within their character. It is the parent’s job to erect values in their children, not someone else. Build up your teenager’s self esteem everyday and direct them down the right paths that lead to happiness and love. Teaching them about modesty in everything they do is a great virtue of character to instill in your teenager.

Make it a point to get involved with what they are involved in. Let them know you care. A teen will be less likely to be pressured by their peers when they know who they are, what they believe in, and what they want for themselves.

It is the parent’s job to instill these things within the framework of their child when he or she is young, so when they are older, they will not depart from their teaching.

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6

Now that your child or children have become teenagers, I’m sure that you have noticed a change in attitude and a change in their vocabulary. I sure remember when I reached my teenage years and the way my parents reacted. They were very concerned with my vocabulary and my, what they labeled, negative attitude. I also recall my attitude when my children became teenagers. I have found that most parents react the same way when they realize that their child/children are becoming more independent.

Teenagers today are being influenced in so many different ways that they really become very confused in which direction they should follow. Because of this confusion, which can lead to mild depression, it is very important that you, as a parent, become very involved in communicating with your child/children on a regular schedule.

A technique that my wife and I found to very helpful in communicating with our teenage children was to set up a schedule to talk with them. We decided to sit down with our children three days a week for at least 1 hour each day. There were no interruptions. Phones were turned off, no TV, no IPods, no cell phones, no computers. The only sounds that were heard were the sounds of good communication between our children and their parents. We continued this process for 6 years.

If you decide to try this technique then you must make a commitment that it will be a positive and uplifting experience. You should also realize that some old habits are going to change, usually in a positive direction. During your communication time with your teenager/teenagers you always want to communicate your love, respect and how proud you are of them. While in your family get together you always should be using positive words and ideas.

Positive words and ideas that you can use are; keeping a smile on your face, intelligence, leader or leadership, smart, friendly, attractive, good looking, friend, helper, helping others, serving others, positive attitude, positive words, good habits, good study habits, great grades, respect for themselves, respect for others, love of family, integrity and excellence and being the best that you can be every day. These words and ideas are examples we used during our communication time as a family. The results were fantastic and very rewarding.

Now, as you develop your own technique to communicate with your teen/teens, make sure that you’re honest and committed to help them develop a positive attitude and a positive vocabulary. You will be very proud of the progressive success that will be the result of you commitment.

It is not always easy being a parent. We teach our children how to treat us. And often from an early age they have us wrapped around their small fingers.

So we are not unfairly taken advantage of we as parents must set boundaries early on. Without these our children will run wild. Today parents seem more lenient – certainly more so than our own parents. Too much freedom can actually harm our children.

By setting boundaries, we are letting our children know exactly what we expect of them. And what we disapprove of. Yes our children may very well kick and scream but it is in our own best interests (and theirs) to set boundaries and then consistently reinforce them.

Children feel safe when boundaries are set. Yes they will test you and you must be firm and unrelenting. Once you let your guard down once, you have lost some self respect and will be walked all over.

Setting boundaries for every routines are essential to ensure peaceful every-day living. Where your children can and cannot eat in the house. What time they must go to bed. How they are expected to behave are three general boundaries that must be set.

The trick in setting these rules is to not make them sound like rules. Explain why that particular boundary is set and why it is in their best interest. For example you can talk about their bed-time as being essential to have enough energy to wake up early the next morning and start playing.

State that so-and-so child goes to bed earlier than them and they are lucky to be able to stay up later than them. Tell your children stories about what it was like when you are their age. Children enjoy listening to these – especially when it makes them feel better about their circumstance.

Have consequences if they do not adhere to the boundary. And make sure you carry out what you threaten to do. That way your child knows you are serious and will think twice about pushing the boundary next time.

Being firm and loving is the key in setting and reinforcing boundaries with your child.

When we teach our children to feel good about themselves, we teach them how to handle life’s disappointments.

When they do things right, acknowledge it.

Find one or two things about what they did to complement. Don’t go overboard on the praise or they may not believe you are sincere. Simply point out one or two things that you liked about what they did.

Tell them they should be happy about their accomplishment.

This is one trick that most parents miss. We want our kids to learn to look to themselves for validation. We do not want them doing things to make others happy. So lets include one simple sentence in our praise. “You must be very proud of yourself.” or “I’ll bet you are happy with your performance.”

By including a simple sentence that guides them to feel good, your children learn to look to themselves for validation.

Acknowledge their mistakes – but don’t dwell on them.

Be honest. If they tried something and failed, acknowledge the failure, but point out at least one thing they did right in their attempt. “Yes, the house you built with blocks fell down, but I really liked the colors you chose. Let’s try again.” or “I know your shoe came untied, but I’ll bet you are really proud of the fact that you tied them all by yourself today!” or “Yes, you did miss the game winning basket. but you should be proud of the two three point shots you did make.”

These three tips will go a long way in teaching your children to look inside themselves for validation and to shrug off the failures and try again.

Not only are you teaching your children to feel good about themselves, you are strengthening your relationship with them. Your children are seeing you as a loving parent who truly cares how they feel. Even the busiest parents can take a few seconds to teach their children how to feel good about themselves.

The work you do while your children are small will make a world of difference when they become teenagers. If they view you as caring and supportive, they will continue to trust you as they grow older. If they view you as critical and unsupportive, they will look to others to give advice when they reach their teens. Who do you want to guide your teenager – you or your teenager’s friends.

Parenting is easier than most parents think.
