THE TALK PART 2

Remember we were talking about going back to school.
Before we proceed further, I would like us to review those things that would make this talk positive and meaningful.
Foundation is key!

 
FAMILY VALUES, that is, family principles and standards. Here, I will term it: Family missions and visions statement. This can never be over emphasized. Do you have them, or do you have anything similar? I guess most of us don't have them, some never thought of it and so putting it into practice becomes a herculean task if it doesn't exist.
My concentration is on THE TALK, but in case you are yet to develop a family mission and vision to back it up, it is never too late to start now.

You may be wondering how do I go about what I don't even know. Well, it is very imperative. In our work places we have mission and vision statements. It simply means what the (company), now family, stands for, their goals and aspirations; what they want to achieve and how to get there. 

Does your family stand for anything? Do you have Family Values? Once again, it is never too late to start one so that THE TALK will yield results.
I know we don't want our innocent children coming back for the next holiday as innocent prostitutes, innocent rapists, innocent cultists, criminals, innocent gays etc.
Now is the time for you as a parent to first and foremost sit down and list a comprehensive family values that you model ( or will be modelling) and it shall be followed religiously by family members.

I will give you time to ponder on the Values as we await THE TALK PART 3.
