Parenting
Giving Time - Teaching Skills for Life
Parenting; the most important job in the world; what a responsibility.
And to make it worse our kids don't come with instruction manuals. Scary huh?
So what is parenting? It is everything we put into our kids.
Love, care, nurturing, feeding, discipline (yes! that is included),
teaching, influencing, guiding.
We also need to assist our kids with loss and grief.
What if we don't parent well or we don't want to bring discipline, well, what happens
is that we don't
stand in our authority, we give it up (unintentionally) to others.
Those others, may be the kids themselves who then gain rule over us,
We duplicate ourselves into other people who without realising it are watching our behaviour, this happens at work, when we are out and about and most importantly with our kids.
Our kids watch us all the time, for them It is not what we say but what we do that counts.
We can't and don't want to control our kids all the time, but we can
influence them to be the best that they can be.
Parenting is the most important job in the world. Our kids stay kids for such a short time. let us be the best parents we can be.
Yes we will make mistakes, we don't have a manual for each of our kids and they don't have a manual for us.
We can (whatever our upbringing) love and influence our kids. Because most of all
what kids want is to know that they are loved and respected by their parents.
Welcome
