After being exposed to crime and criminal activity over a length of time, however, they quickly became acclimated to it and even desensitized to its effects. Before long they were hardened criminals. Do you not see the analogy between this example and our kids being exposed to all the negative images and sounds of today?

So you’re tired too of dealing with your teenage son or daughter? You mean you’re walking on eggshells when he or she is home? Can’t get them out of bed in the morning? Having trouble getting them to follow any rules? Well, welcome to child rearing in the rip-roaring new millenium.

So what’s the real problem? One can propose several responses to this question, but the issue is far too complicated to be addressed by a knee-jerk answer. Could it be that the ever widening liberal spectrum of values has finally broken the camel’s back of mores, sending our youth into a spiraling plunge of moral decrepitude?

Let’s face it folks. Technology has been a two-edged sword insofar as both edification and moral corruption of our youth go. Although the omnipresence of the computer has yielded all kinds of tangible and intangible benefits, the internet has opened a Pandora’s box of evils unheard of only two decades ago. Additionally, the ubiquitous cell phone and other electronic gadgets like the iPod have spawned all kinds of tantalizing temptations for our kids, the likes of which we could not have imagined only a generation ago.

As far as the computer and internet, the easy availability of lewd sexual content has given kids access to images that only serve to pervert the natural and beautiful intentions of our Creator in bringing men and women together. The cell phone—while a blessing in that it gives parents the ability to keep track of where their children are—has also given these same children the ability to maintain a circle of friends and contacts, the likes of which might be trouble, without their parents’ being aware of such potential problems.

Moreover, the ever increasing popularity of certain morally depraved genres of music, such as gangsta rap and hardcore heavy metal, only further worsen the already pervasive negative influences on our children. Empirically at least, I strongly believe that respect issues among our youth is at an all time low. But then again this makes perfect sense.

After all, if a child hears four letter curses in such bizarre and frequent combinations, it will not take long before his ears are desensitized to such language. If you read the famous self-help book by Napolean Hill, Think and Grow Rich, you might remember a story the author tells about criminals. He mentions that when criminals were interviewed, they admitted that at first they were abhorrent toward crime. After being exposed to crime and criminal activity over a length of time, however, they quickly became acclimated to it and even desensitized to its effects. Before long they were hardened criminals.

Coaching Every Play!

Great restaurants that deliver WOW service AND amazing food AND unbelievable value, AND deliver great profits, (like the one in the beginning of our story) have great Cultures that nurture staff to perform at their very best, every guest, every table, every day. They have superb Coaching driving this Culture as well - leaders who Coach every employee, every play, at every table, every day. (Sorry if I rhyme!) Bad restaurants by contrast (and there are only the two kinds – more on that later!) de-evolve into a Culture of slackers performing tasks somewhat relative to service and placing what appears to be food in front of people who walk in and request something to eat while they sit down at a table where it will be placed for their consumption, and then expected to fork out greenbacks for it, as well as the opportunity to be ignored by their wait person who is off doing only God knows what, only God knows where. And although you think that these two places are universes apart, I guarantee you they are only a few subtleties different. Coaching is present here too, just not in the form you came to expect from the first restaurant.
