Parenting is such an amazing opportunity. There are many blessings that come from being parents and raising children. When beginning our families, we have plans of teaching their children but more than not, children are the ones teaching us. As they learn at rapid speeds, we as parents are learning as we go. They help us develop, become selfless, and understand more fully God's role as a parent.
What is the purpose of parenting?
To protect and prepare our children to survive and thrive in the world. And because children are such prized processions, we need to be very careful in the way you choose to prepare them. It is important we focus on our children's needs and proactively meeting those needs.
Four qualities we need to instill in and teach our children: 1. Cooperation, 2. Respect (the only way to teach respect is to demonstrate it,) 3. Responsibility (give them choices,) 4. Courage.
*This post is a bunch of random ideas and thoughts I would like to remember when I am raising my our children.
