Parenting II
…continued… from part 1
A lot of parents ruin their children’s lives all in the name of pampering them or helping them because they feel they are still young to understand anything. As a parent, there is wisdom in knowing when to strike a balance. These children are smart and we need to give discipline when we should and also show love when we must.
Parenting is about being present. You need to know your children. You need to be able to see the change in their moods and sense things even before they open up to you. They should be comfortable in relating and speaking with you. You should be their best friend. You should be sensitive so they can learn to trust you and speak with you. Do not have a child that you will not be present to care for. Don’t bring them into the world if you would not be able to guard and guide them along the journey.
As a parent, you need to build up and have a purpose for your children. Your purpose in their lives is to model them and shape them to be better humans. You need to teach them so they wouldn’t make the same mistake that you did. They should do better than you and not worse off. These children look up because they want to see you live the things you are telling them to do. They want you to show them the path to follow and they would go all the way. They need your voice of reason at every given point because they might be confused at some point and you should be able to shed light to that confusion so as to earn their trust.
To influence children, you need to live and lead by examples. Your words and actions must match. You can’t tell them not to lie if all you do is lie. The moment you point it out to them not to lie, they will remind you of the instances where you have lied. They see and they observe, so you don’t want to underestimate them.
