PARENTS ARE ALL THE KIDS HAVE

 

Giving birth is the hardest thing a woman does in her life.

Raising a child is tough

When you make a mistake with a child, you will always have time to explain and amend. 

A child will always be kind to you.

Both wives and husbands have their roles in parenting. 

They are accountable in the raising of the children.

Before the dawn of nuclear families kids had siblings to fall back on.

Now the parents have just one or two kids.

Parents are all the kids have.

Parents should not be violent.

You have to keep the communication open and a slap is the fastest way to close it. 

Being, "an I will bring the whole world at your feet," kind of parent is certainly wrong.

Parents have to stop merely providing and start participating.

Stop giving everything to the children without giving them your time.

Give children your valuable time.

Spend time with them. 

Don't be the parent who provides and leaves.

It is okay for parents to have expectations as long as  they are okay with failures too.

While you long for the child to succeed, don't expect the child to do well in everything.

Pressure is good, it needs to be applied in the right direction and you need to be there as scaffolding if the child falls.

Let the child notice how you tackle failures. It teaches the child to do likewise

Never lie to them.
