Parent Rearing
There are a lot of young people out there who are struggling with the same issue: How to properly raise and train your parents for that big, mean world out there. As someone who has spent many years working on this file, I feel less than qualified, but more than eager, to attack this baffling question.
Parents need structure. It is important to keep parents occupied with various and sundry activities, such as work, grocery shopping, etc. As soon as they break loose from this structure, they get into trouble.
Parents need supervision when on the internet (self-explanatory).
Parents need to be active. It is important to take your parents on walks and give them the necessary exercise. Teaching good habits can have lifelong benefits.
Parents need active encouragement and support. Ignoring your parents will inevitably stunt their social growth and contribute to adaptive disorders and the like. Medication should be used sparingly to control hyperactivity. Positive reinforcement should be used to encourage social interaction with their peers (this relieves the pressure of supervision).
Parents need to think they are in control. It is important to set boundaries within which they believe that they are making their own choices.
Set a good example. I can't stress this enough people. Your parents are always watching you, and the slightest thing can leave a deep impression. Make sure that its the impression you want.
More to follow on this important file. As we struggle with properly rearing our parents, its important to share the challenges and opportunities that this stage in our life brings about. Your thoughts?

For two reasons: one, because I know you get excited when people read your blogs. two, because this one cracked me up... but I wonder as to the motivation behind it? I want background info...
How dare you attempt to enter the sacred lair of the blogger's inspiration?
