Teaching Our Children to Respect The Thin Blue Line

 

 I respect all honest Law Enforcement across the world. But I know the war on police in the United States of America is all too real.

 

I support and respect them all, as they have one of the hardest jobs ever.

There are times where I really feel for Law Enforcement as they are damned if they do and they are damned if they don't!

 

Well we as parents can break the cycle, in fact we have a responsibility to our children to teach them not only right from wrong but to respect and have manners.

Changing how our children see things, how they see people including people who help keep them safe. We just need to teach them a few simple lessons.

 

1. Teaching the principles to live by, that we live in a community that needs to be respected and that there are laws to live by that make our communities a safer place and that rules of law are there for a reason.

 

2.Teaching them manners and respect in the home alongside rules set by us as parents and their schools. Making sure these are adhered to. These same principles should be adhered to by communities dealing with our police.

 

3. Children are like sponges; they absorb everything around them.  So if we say anything negative regarding authority this resonates with them in a negative way and can confuse the child.

 

4. Why not take your children to open days in police stations? I did so with my children and it helped immensely with how my children view police. It made them realise theyare so approachable and very much human.
