HARD WORK IS ALWAYS NECESSARY TO SUCCEED AT SOMETHING.
SUCH AS BEING A GOOD PARENT!
HOW WOULD YOU RAISE A CHILD WITHOUT HARD WORK?
EXACTLY!! YOU COULDN’T.
BEFORE HAVING A CHILD YOU NEED A FEW THINGS, SUCH AS A GOOD CHILD RAISING ENVIROMENT, A STEADY SOURCE OF INCOME, AND A GOOD SCHEDULE FOR THE WEEKS AFTER YOUR BABY’S BORN.
DURING THE FIRST FEW YEARS, YOU NEED TO CARE FOR YOUR BABY, BY NOT DRINKING ALCOHOL OR USING TOBACCO PRODUCTS, BECAUSE THE BABY WILL LEARN HOW TO USE IT.
SECEONDLY YOU NEED TO SET A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR YOUR BABY, LIKE NOT USING FOUL LANGUAGE AROUND YOUR BABY BECAUSE HE WILL LEARN, AND EVENTUALLY USE THEM.
THIRDLY, AS THEY GET OLDER TEACH THEM DISCIPLINE ON RIGHT AND WRONG, SUCH AS HOW ITS WRONG TO BACKTALK YOUR PARENTS, OR HOW ITS WRONG TO PICK ON OTHER KIDS. REWARD THEIR GOOD BEHAVIOR WITH A GOOD PEPPY SENTENCE, SUCH AS “GOOD JOB”, AND BAD BEHAVIOR BY TELLING THEM “NO DON’T DO THAT!”
AS THEY GET AROUND THE AGE OF 8, YOU WILL NEED TO STEP UP IN DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS, SACH AS CHASTISING THEM IF THE BEHAVIOR WAS BAD ENOUGH.
NOW YOUR CHILD IS 14, AND GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL, HOW DO YOU REACT?
YOU REACT HOW YOU WOULD THEM GOING TO Jr. HIGH, YOU’RE PROUD, AND SURPRISED THEY’VE GROWN UP SO FAST, 14 YEARS HAVE GONE BY IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.
NOW WHATS UPSETTING IS WHEN THEY GO TO COLLEGE, AND MOVE OUT INTO THE COLD AND SELFISH WORLD TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES, IT JUST BREAKS YOUR HEART THAT IT’S HAPPENED SO FAST!
YET, IT SHOWS A MAJOR REWARD FOR YOUR ACTS OF GOOD PARENTING!

This isn't a poem, so why have you submitted it as one? Some good points made, but why is it all in capitals?
