HOUSEHOLD DNA & YOUR COMMUNITY

 
Ponder this: Household DNA determines the community you desire or do not desire to live in...



Household DNA is a term I have coined to represent all the actions in a household, which sanction the behavior of a child. It includes but is not limited to words, behavior, values and beliefs developed and used in the home and those entering and allowed via visitors, activities, technology, etc. 
 
 Household DNA impact Classroom DNA, which impacts Community DNA

Foster Care and Our Children

Parenting has a Standard.  We are all affected.


Facts:

Black or African American children are disproportionately more likely than other children to be reported, investigated, substantiated, and placed in foster care.

Twenty-seven percent of the children in foster care are African American, double the percent of African American children in the population in America.

Children of color, especially black children, and often American Indian children, face significant disparity within the child welfare system. They are more likely to have longer placements in out-of-home care, are less likely to receive comprehensive services, and are less likely to reunify with their families than white children.
More than 250,000 children in the U.S. enter the foster care system every year. While more than half of these children will return to their parents, the remainder will stay in the system. Most of these children are living with foster families, but some also live in group facilities.

Parenting has a standard.  Because we have not dealt with the Parenting issue in our society, our children, our schools and our communities are suffering due to problems in parenting.  We are not here to discuss and debate parenting styles. However, parenting has a standard. There are standard elements in parenting that must be adhered to and utilized.

Parenting Has a Standard: Better Children, Better Schools, and Better Communities

Parenting has a standard. As a society, we have chosen to overlook parenting. Our children, our schools and our communities are suffering due to problems in parenting. We are not here to discuss and debate parenting styles. However, parenting has a standard. There are standard elements in parenting that must be adhered to and utilized. The elements are represented in the Household DNA Parenting Pyramid: Love, Peace, Protection, Provisions, Bless & Edify, Wisdom and Guidance.
---------------------------
Household DNA is a term that I have coined, which represents all the actions in a household sanctioning the behavior of a child. It includes but is not limited to words, behavior, values and beliefs developed and used in the home and those entering and allowed via visitors, activities, technology, etc.
---------------------
The behavior of persons in a household is indicative of the Household DNA. If you want to change the child's behavior, you have to change the household DNA. We know this. We have always talked about exposure, extracurricular activities and other programs, interventions and strategies that enhance behavior.
------------------------
If you analyze our efforts as a society to change the condition of a child, they tend to be outside influences targeting the child: school, youth programs and public assistance.

Newsflash: The child goes home to parents/guardians who determine the Household DNA. 

The parents through their words, actions, belief and uses of resources decide and control the Household DNA.

Our schools and our communities are reflections of our Household DNA.
