Family Protection + Steemit Blockchain = Peanut Butter And Jelly!!
We have been blessed with children, sweet innocent beings. The only problem is they didn't come with an instruction manual. There is no precise way to raise these beings it's all based off of intuition and sorry to say this but the media and what others do play a huge roll in our self taught manuals. So as our children constantly are changing we must constantly change as well. So what really is the "JOB" of a parent?
A Parent's Job
1) To provide Love:
Providing our children with unconditional love is definitely one of the highest items in our parenting manual. They use this love to develop self love, love for others, acceptance and how to show love to others who's parents may not be creating the same manual.
2) Health and Safety
Another important aspect of raising our children is to provide the skills for the health and safety of the children. We must teach them not to put items in their mouths, keep them clean etc. as they grown we teach them to dress warm, look both ways when crossing the street etc. These items are essential in developing our children into adults with skills to keep them safe. Since we have no manual it is our job to research and look into all possible avenues to be able to deliver the best methods possible. As we look into certain aspects of life and how society operates we are constantly hitting hurdles and decisions must be made.
The foods we eat are very important to the health and safety of our children. We must look into the damages caused by GMO foods, sugars and other toxic items like processed foods, "Lunchables" for example and many other extremely harmful items the media says are "Good Snacks" for children at school.
We must research things like vaccines and not just line up like sheep to inject an unknown substance into our children because everybody else is doing it and the "Media" pushes the benefits to us. Educating ourselves before injecting our children will allow us to make the right decision.
Why is fluoride good? Why is it bad? Do you actually know or do you just accept what is told you by the dental office because they must be right? Right? Perhaps but how would you know if you didn't research anything for yourself.
3) Education
Education is very important for our parenting manual. Doesn't all of our education come from schools? Not at all my friends, not at all. We must educate or children in many different ways, in fact school might actually be very harmful to children but we'll save that for another day.
Carrying The Weight Of Our Children
I have been carrying my children "literally" for years now. I have been teaching them everything I know. Including them in everything I do instead of handing them an iphone for a baby sitter well I complete life tasks. Let's take a look at what I mean with a few photos!
It all Started when Kiedis was born!
Kiedis at Halloween
Kiedis's 1 year old birthday party
Then Stryder was born
Do you think this means I only carry one boy lol?
No, no I now carry 2!
Always lol
Including Our Children In Everyday Tasks!
Planting the seeds into the garden!
Assembling an addition on the side of our camping trailer!
Making cards for #OpHumanAngels!
Assembling the our small green house (1)!
Assembling the our small green house (2)!
Building our Chicken Coop!
Learning to trust a rooster with Dad!
Harvesting carrots in late October!
What's the purpose of this blog? Why is it called Family Protection + Steemit Blockchain = Peanut Butter And Jelly!!?
Well I feel that one of the greatest things for protecting our families is Steemit. Which is why they go together like peanut butter and jelly. The perfect combination indeed. You can all see how much I love my boys, they are the most important thing in my life and it's clearly visible for all to see. These blog posts which are now on the blockchain are implanted forever. These could be deciding factors in case something ever happens. Using Steemit to log the love, teachings, and lives of you and your children could become the saving grace for you in the future.
What if you complete research and decided that vaccinating your children is not for you. Injecting poisonous chemicals and mercury are not something you want to do to your children? Should you lose them for that? Does that mean you love them less?
What if you don't want to expose your children to fluoride? You've completed your research and see great danger and don't want to harm your children. Should they be taken away from you?
How about if you think school is not the place for your children. Should someone come and take them away for that?
I think these are choices that we should be free make. We should be allowed to make these choices and use our research we've completed in writing our parenting manuals. Steemit and the blockchain will continue to log our lives in a tamper proof state. What we share cannot be deleted. As we continue to share our stories and spread our love of our families it should continue to help others to do the same and add pages to their manuals. If something happens we can fight for each other and help each other to not lose our children for ridiculous things like refusing to vaccinate, refusing fluoride or home schooling or unschooling. As we can clearly see that families have strong, healthy and loving relationships to strip them apart based on ridiculous laws is unacceptable. We are not causing harm and therefor should not be punished based on our informative decisions on how we write our manual.
I support all who lift the masks off these giant misleading items which I feel actually do cause harm to our children.
As I'm sure I just attracted some trolls I hope I reached out to some people who were on the fence and have helped confirm their inner gut feelings that what decisions they're making a most likely correct.
Love you all!!! Let's work together to keep families together!
I love what you guys are doing for your children, my only hope is that people take a good look at what families like us are doing and they recognize the benefits of raising free-range children.
Let's temp some more people off that fence with some of that peanut butter & jelly. :)
Thank you for supporting @familyprotection
Bless.
Thank you so much for sharing your story about your philosophy on free range children. I wish you a happy New Year and hope that you are not attacked by too many trolls on here.
I worked in the child welfare system for almost 9 years and have had the benefit of working with several different types of families, ethnicities, cultures, beliefs, religions, and backgrounds. I do see what you are reporting, that I was asked to go in and judge every single one of my families based on their practices. And the Judgment was up to what the state felt the answers to the questions should be. I think it is a great idea to also document all the love that you give in life and to your family. There are a lot of children in the system that don't have these memories.
#teamfreerangechildren forever!
Thank you Mark and I love what @familyprotection is doing and what you're doing. Free-range children really is the only children there should be. It's beautiful dude and a lot more natural.

Your family is amazing Mark :)
Great job on how to raise your children. And you're absolutely right about vaccinations, fluoride and the right to homeschool your children. The SS or CPS have no right none whatsoever but it's big business for the state to go after your children. I've got no children myself but this is a fantastic movement on Steemit.
You're are 100% correct! It's always about "Big Business" that's all they care about. Whatever they make money off they will stand there ground on. It's disgusting that things that are important to mankind are constantly pushed aside for monetary gains by the elite.
What a great family and an interesting idea. A blockchain trail of evidence to prove the safety and well being of children. If you weighed and measure them online it would be further proof they are thriving. I agree you want to be proactive in preventing CPS into the picture at all. That includes no entry without warrant and signing your property NO Trespassing. It is a shame we have to fear our government but that indeed is where we are at.
Thank you for some more great ideas. We will change the way we deal with these people. We will not be in fear forever. :)
This is a great post to document how you love your children. We are all witnesses here on the platform! Kudos to you for what you do. <3
Thank you so much. You don't know how much your support matters :)
I was wowed by this post. You have passionately pointed out so many things that should be in our parental manual. You are a great dad to your kids and I appreciate you 100% for that. I have been single-parenting for 10 years now and my ex-husband has refused to be involved IN the growth and development of his children, financially ,emotionally and physically. So I wonder why some men are wired heartless, but reading your post today brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart that there are fathers who would always be there for their kids. Thank you so much @hendrix22 for showing your kids this much love.
Thank you for your support. My heart is now saddened that these fathers or "Not Fathers" I should say even exist. I could never even see myself being able to ignore the fact that I have children, financially, emotionally or physically. Everyday without them would break my heart. :)
Thank you so much for being a great dad. Your kids are lucky. About the parenting manual, I will start preparing now for when I have kids in the future. Thank you for a very educative post.
Thank you for your support! I think your parenting manual should always be based on how you can be the best parent to your children that you can. Let them be free we'll keeping them fed, safe and warm... :)
This is a great piece Brendan! We are Stronger Together <3 <3 <3 I love you, our family, and our Steem FAMILY!!! xoxooxo <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 #WeGotThis #WeCanFixThis xoxoxooxoxoxxoxoxoxoxo
Thanks Lynds!! I love you too and obviously the boys. This Steem family is incredible as well :)
That right there is so rare and yet so simple.
I grew up around my dad working at his business and my uncle’s dairy farm. The life lessons learned were easily accepted because I not only heard the message, but I saw it lived.
You are one of the good ones @hendrix22. Keep on growing and many blessings upon your family.
Thank you so much! That's awesome that you were able to get raised like that. Hats off to your father and you uncle for giving you that experience. I want nothing more for my boys then to experience life for what it is.
Documenting your love and care for your family is wonderful. It's a character witness that is permanent on the blockchain. It also encourages other parents to do their due diligence in deciding what is best for their children.
I wish the blockchain record did offer protection from authorities who "disagree" with certain lifestyle choices. The trouble is, as of now in the court of law, vaccines are considered "safe and effective" and fluoride is "medically recommended" and public (or private) schools are recognized as "essential for proper education and socialization". If the authorities do not like or approve of how a person is raising their children, they cannot see the love and care that person is giving their children. In their minds, raising children to be non-conforming to the social agenda of our age, is considered abuse and cannot be tolerated.
It's a clash of philosophies, one philosophy where parents have the final say, another where the "professionals" have the final say. Sadly in our court system, the "professionals" always seem to have the last word, no matter how documented our love and care is for our children.
It's important to support loving families and especially support the parent's right to have the final say concerning the (true) welfare of children. I am happy to see YOUR love and support for your family and thank you for taking the time to research and make informed decisions. Raise those boys well, the world needs good men who can think for themselves.
@ironshield
You've said it all... Parents still are parents. And they have a huge right to making decisions on the child's well-being. They should have a say in the methods they chose to grow their children harmlessly. So far all the CPS ever goes after are innocent families.
Family is everything
I understand the dilemma with the way the law works. However we as people must find a way to overcome this. I wonder if we all keep logging our strong family love if we can somehow work together and perhaps be able to beat these laws one day.
As long as those in power are the ones who push the "vaccines, pharmaceuticals, fluoride, and traditional brain washing schooling" I think we'll always have this problem.
Great article and of course all my favorite pictures. I often wondered whether anything I said or did ever made a difference. Alone I felt in a world of you must do this and you must do that. In those days we had no internet and my learning was done in a Library. Countless hours I spent there and Indigo. I was one of very few who in 1981 breast fed and used cloth diapers. Made my own baby food and gave babies cod liver oil. 1997 was the year I finally said no to Fluoride. Then came Nutrition School and my designation RHN/RNCP and my world expanded. Suddenly I found many with the same voice, singing the same song. Could I then teach what I knew fast enough and did my opinion count. Did my knowledge reach the levels that I wanted it to reach? I trust it went somewhere and then beyond. I believe we taught far beyond the classroom. Our parenting style was often frowned upon and a topic of contraversy. Yet I believe it was closer to how it should be. Someone once told me what little time they had spent with their child and that they only taught a few things. I sat and reminisced and said without a doubt that we did so much and yet it seemed to be not enough time. In the blink of an eye everyone was grown. If I were to live another life with the same three, I would choose a simpler life, less complex on the seashore, giving homeschooling a good solid try, at least in the formative years and of course including blockchain in my life.
It's obviously clear that you've made a huge difference in the lives of my children and myself. You have always been wise to the games. Simple life full of love will always be better then a busy life full of things and stuff with no parents around to spend time with the children.
Always true, and you are a wise teacher, passing this on to the next generation.
Love!!! :)
