The Obamas' Style of Parenting
Lights Out
It’s not easy raising two kids to become responsible, well-rounded adults, especially when they have access to countless advantages at their disposal. Yet, President Obama and the First Lady make it look seamless when it comes to being parents to their daughters Sasha and Malia. Here are some examples of how the Obamas use effective parenting techniques to ensure their girls grow up as normal as possible and always know exactly who’s the boss. By Porsche Slocum
Despite their demanding agendas, Mr. and Mrs. Obama make sure that the same rules always apply. Sasha and Malia continue to get tucked in every night by 8 P.M. “Our goal is to encourage them to do things not because someone is telling you to do them, but because in your heart you know it is right,” said President Obama to Parenting magazine.

From reading some of these comments I can see that there are alot of black people who are bitter that Obama won the presidency and are so hatin'! You know that they are repubican supporters and they just can't believe the reality that this is history no matter if this ever happens again or not. NO I don't idolize anyone or think he's the second coming of christ either, I idolize the lord and him only! The Obama's are just people who run the country now, something that Bush did'nt do. "Yes we can! Yes we did!!!!

No offense to the single moms, the women who left their men, got left or any unfortunate drama, but there is nothing good about being called a "baby mama". Every woman must know her price and not settle for less than a husband. It is ordained. Again, some of us are destroying our families/communities out of desperation and the need to " have a man". Look at what happened with Jennifer Hudson's sister.

I am glad the Obama's had the Christian values and sense to wait until they were married until they had children. They realized even with two parents raising kids is difficult. Look how much better off we were as a people when black people married each other, then had children? That's one of the most prevaling problems in our community. WE need more positive role models like the Obamas who are not god's but genuienly act like children of the King.

I agree with Erin, I feel most Black people are not idolozing the Obamas. We're just very, very happy and excited about something that is well deserved. I'm proud to be an Obama cheerleader!!! Yeah!!!

I am very happy President Obama that you are our President. The only thing that I am unhappy with is, when you visited Ira C. Massey Child Care Center in Los Angeles Calif in 2007. I did not smile on the picture that was taken of you and our staff and children. I wished that someday we could take a picture where I am smiling that shows just how happy I am that you and your family are now the first family of the U.S. Mary L.Conner

Check out a wonderful parenting resource that fits any parenting level of involvement at Florida DOE website under Family and Community Outreach. It is called "DLOPI" Different Levels of Parent Involvement. This program assist parents and educators in identifying parents' levels of involvement.and has a measuring component as well. I think the Obamas parenting style and tips are the examples of what we all as parents can contribute to helping our children succeed. Just stay involved at whatever level is comfortable for you; just stay involved. "No Excuses" Our children's future is at stake.

It's all in the way you raise your children...no, you don't have to spank a child all the time. I barely had to spank my son and he is now 16, great student, not in the streets, active in activities, don't sag, don't follow the crowd...so, it's being there for your children, spending time with them-not letting the TV entertain and raise them. Staying out of the clubs and the streets, putting the men (if you're a single parent) on the back burner until your children are mature enough to handle it or out of the house (sounds extreme) but it's a must. I teach and let me tell you, we can tell everything that goes on with you and in your home through your children. A lot of people don't think about that, but your kids talk and their behavior is representative of you.
