Butt Out , This is my Life the one I know!

Children need to be held and comforted

 It has become near impossible to continue to influence our child or children as they grow, one of the first things a baby does is challenge its Parents or those who are designated to care for it. Babies today are now left to fend for themselves earlier than ever, first Propping up a bottle on a pillow allowing them to feed themselves without being not noticed by the Parent or care giver. What is not being noticed is this child eyes follow Parent or care giver as they walk away reaching for the attention they think they deserve. It is said, the child's Brain develop 300 times faster from Birth to the age of six years old, faster than any other time in their life.

The child is now left to mechanical toys, sound from any sorts of Electronic Toys and implements attached to their surroundings to entertain and create their environment. There are all sorts of comforts being manufactured to make our Kids comfortable and they really do but they also separate us from those wonderful human contact that these Baby's became became accustomed to while they were carried by their mothers for 9 months huddled in their Bodies.

It is a grave shock to these Babies to find as soon as they are born they loose the warmth and feel of  these comforts and having to now fend for themselves once they loose the comforts of the womb. In any given day a Child/Baby would not have spent more than minutes being held in the arms of a Parent or care giver. The most personal and loving thing that a mother does for a child is Breast Feed. Breastfeeding is where a Mother develops their first Personal relationship with their child, it is where their first conversation takes place the first smile, where the mother gets comforted and the child feels love and contentment. This act of breast feed then is good for both mother and child creating the long term bond that usually shape the mother and child relationship of the future.

Jamaica"s 9th Prime Minister must confront crime as #1 issue.

Hon Andrew Holness Prime Minister of Jamaica.

Today when Andrew Holness takes the oath of Office at Kings House and become her 9th Prime Minister, This should send a signal to those who have fought for freedom, won Freedom and those still fighting for Freedom it is Possible not easy but Possible.

One of the responsibility that has eluded us a nation since Independence is citizens of Jamaica does not see a personal responsibility in our nation future and this must be addressed. I did not know I had this  personal responsibility until later in life witnessing the release of Nelson Mandela from Prison. The understanding  that Nelson  Mandela at some point of his life made the conscious decision that some one had to make this sacrifice, he did, Black People in South Africa and the wider continent of Africa needed to be free. Nelson Mandela knew that took personal responsibility giving up what he thought was everything, making a massive sacrifice. Every Citizen of Jamaica must be reminded, personal Sacrifice matters.

At Independence Jamaican"s did not either understand or adapt the the idea that for the success of our young Nation to succeed this responsibility belong to every Citizen. After 50 years of Independence as citizens we still struggle with the that fact. Depending on our leaders Prime Ministers, Government Ministers, Members of Parliament and and others elected to lead bears these responsibilities.

Today opens a new Chapter in the future of Jamaica, a young 39 year old takes the daunting task of leading this Nation. This is a most difficult time for most nations across the world stricken in financial turmoil that has caused Economic chaos and civil unrest as a result the gap between the rich and poor widens. In Europe and the United States Conservative Governments see the removal of safety nets to the Poor, children, students and elderly as the answer to the world financial woes if this should continue it would create further civil unrest. This is not be the case because these safety nets were brought about at times when countries were going through the same circumstances as they are now and
