Struggle with Childhood -- Proper Parenting.

Sometimes our kids go through a lot of things that we have no idea about, we beat and punish them so hard and think they do not want to change.
But the real truth is that, they are trying so hard to change, they are fighting so hard to change or get better but nothing seem to be working.
However, that part of trying hard enough is one side that we do not get to see as parents.

I once heard a story of a child who could not just stop bed wetting, the child wet the bed so frequently that he became a laughing stock amongst his peers and siblings alike.
His parents will also flog him and allow his peers make jest of him, with the hope that their action will make him stop bed wetting.

This young boy always tries to stop it, the embarrassment was becoming too much for him to bear, so he asked around for people's opinion about how someone could stop bed wetting and he followed people's advice as he found out daily and nothing seemed to work.
Some people told him to drink his urine, he was advised to do this whenever he wakes up every morning, but it did not still work.

Some other set of individuals advised him to tie a rope firmly around his manhood before going to bed to sleep at night, he tried it but the pain and discomfort was too great for him to bear and he was scared he might eventually lead to the total removal of his manhood if he does not stop the act.

He continued with the struggle receiving advice from different people everyday( a struggle his parent or friend had no idea about, they only mocked him).
On a faithful day, a man gave him something to drink, with a promise that it will help him stop bed wetting forever.

He thanked the old man and he drank the portion given to him, he went home after drinking and just as he lied down to rest, the feeling of discomfort began, he started to feel stomach upset and before everyone knew what was going on, it was becoming a serious issue.
He was rushed to the hospital and the doctor told his parents that he had taken a poisonous substance, in a bid to stop getting embarrassed and also make his parents happy, he almost lost his life.

Sometimes parents have no idea about the struggle a child faces, and that is the most important reason why we need to take it calm with our kids, no matter how upset we are, we have to understand that they might be going through some hard times they might not share with us.
It is very important that you learn to bring your kids close, before you loose them eventually.
