Motherhood and fatherhood (Parenting) is divine privilege
granted onto us all by the creator. It is sentimental and most precious
experience. For sure no one can prove that they select us to come to this earth as we are and for what we are, or know exactly for sure where we were before arriving in this mother earth. This experience is the living parable and makes God Jehovar as vivid as it can be in this life long parable.
Today’s parenting needs some revival and rejuvenation that
has God-fearing elements in how we are parenting our kids. Think of this, many
of us have had access to smartphones for average of 6 years by now and video
games for about 18 years now and access to TV for about 30 years now.
Now, think of how we adults are addicted to the smartphone
and social media for just having access to them in just short period of time (4
to 6 years now), what will they do to our children? We have allow our children
to replace us, parents, with material things like smartphones, video games,
televisions, internet, shows and whole social media thing.
Then, when they grow up to the age that they can full
exercise their capabilities of the things they learn all along in their
childhood, we parents get outrageous of their actions and wonder why and how
could they not do and act normal.
Oh well, that is their normal because parents let them to be
parented by the material things and they learn them all from these material
things instead of learning things from the mother and or father figures. That
is the difference between the kids we used to be and the kids that are raised in
this millennium.
Remember that parenting is not a part time job or onetime
thing. It is permanent and you carry it with you all your life. You either
parenting your children or the material things and the world will parent them.
Most likely you will not like what the world and things will do onto your
children, neither the outcome. Therefore, step up your parenting game.
As naughty children I used to be, I can testify you that children
don’t only listen, they do the combination of listening and actions. So if your
actions are not parallel with what you are saying, most likely your child is
confused and will stop listening and or follow your acts. Children brain is
faster like magnetic force and it observes more than what an adult can ever
imagine. I learn more by observing than listening because I had to draw my own
sharp contrasts.
Therefore, environment matters a lot when raising a child. Be
mindful of your acts and word to any child. Remember this, you can force a cow
to the river, but certainly you cannot force a caw to drink water from the
river.
Lastly, being a good and successful parent does not make you
a friend to a child, rather a parent as always. Don’t get confused of the two. You
can never be a friend to your child, it’s illusion and confusing that clinging
to the fallacy of emotional imbalance. A child needs a parent and a friend, not
all at the same time from the same person. Pilot mom and papas; take a very
good note here because chances are you are confusing your children and
importance of your parenting role.
