Sunday’s Food for Thought – loving and disciplining
Babies and little children are like angels ‘without wings’. They seem so innocent, so sweet, so adorable.
Parents however shouldn’t only focus on the cute side of these little ones and forget about disciplining, training and teaching them the right way.
When a little child’s potential is continually developed, he may one day become a world leader, a musician, a scientist or an artist. Someone who gives positive impacts to the world.
But let us not forget that ‘bad’ husbands and wives, power-hungry bosses and thieves were once cute babies and children too.
While there are factors that are beyond our control when it comes to raising our children (especially when they’ve reached their teenage years), one major factor that sure helps in shaping their characters is our strong and positive influence in their first years.
To carefully watch over and teach our children is our task and responsibility as parents.
Let’s do more than just ‘be there’ for our little ones.
Let’s make a positive impact in their lives that will (hopefully) last a life time.
