Children deserve love, stability and healthy childhood, there's no joy in suffering a child, instead your focus as parents should be inculcating proper discipline and values on your children.
I'm yet to understand the mindset of most parents, why will my kid go through certain hardship to understand life because I did ?
Making kid suffer and go through hardship is an unhealthy way to raise a child, I know going through hardship will make them gain some surviving and resilient skill, but there are softer ways to inculcate these skills.
Parental guidance and support is enough for a child to understand life.
What's the point of going through tough situation, hardships and difficulties if your children have to go through same hardship pattern, I believe no reasonable parents would want their kids to suffer, like they did.
Children don't and would never need hardship to understand life, what kids need to understand life parental guidance, at every stages, age and phase of life.
Kids can also learn from your wisdom and shared experience, so instead of allowing your kids go through hardship, you can share your experiences and mistakes to them.
I will derive so much joy to see my kids grow in so much love, stability, abundance and joy.
Allow kids to be kids, there's no perfect kid.
I see parents who endulge their kids in child labour as wicked parents, so telling me the reason a child has to go through struggles is to understand life sounds extremely foolish , kids can understand life from love, kindness, your shared experience and many other ways.
The environment you place a child also matters alot in grooming and shaping the child to understand life .
They can learn responsibilities from you , just by watching you, it makes them better adults.
This week prompt we were asked to write on how we intend raising our kids and here are some ways I would like to raise my child.
One of the best way to raise a child is by teaching them love, kindness, to themselves and other's.
A child that's loved at home will show love to others and not hatred.
A child who was raised to be kind, will reflect and show kindness all the time.
Every attitude a child exhibits starts from home.
Teaching your kids that for every action there's always a consequence in life is one of the important knowledge to inculcate in kids, because that's how the world works in reality.
Teaching them to face the consequences of their failures, mistakes, unmannered attitude and many more will make them understand life too .
This is very important in raising kids, they would understand they don't get away with breaking the laws or rules.
Teaching skills like emotional management, financial management, punctuality, adapting to changes and circumstances also teaches kids alot about life and prepares them for life.
I will teach them to be responsible , when gifted money, I will teach them to be always give account of every penny, the important of saving and why they should always practice saving.
It won't stop at financial responsibility, but also how to manage chores and worklife , schooling and other activities.etc.
I love kids so much, although I'm not a parent yet but would really love to see and raise a child with the tips
I just shared .
Children deserve all the love, kindness and attention, they deserve a healthy childhood, because it shapes them as adults.
No child deserves hardship or suffering, all they need is parental guidance and support.
