The joy of living together: A cycle of service to the parents’ unconditional love and care for children

In a certain family, individual activities are as important as those who performed in groups. Parents should provide from time to time in each of their children the opportunity to spend time alone with them. Children will enjoy a lot having for a while “dad or mom” just for them. One day or more of being together at all times, the  family members are very delighted to go to the zoo or place where there is tranquility or fresh air everywhere flashing unto their countenances—free from pollution.

The question is not whether we have time to do it, we always fail, but it is taking time!

It is a big role of the parents to rear their children so much and care for them in order to be productive citizens someday. It is in this whole scenario or perspective that parents can give the best upshot to their children to do something great for the country. It is their responsibility to support them in terms of temporal and spiritual things; most importantly, their education caters a lot to the success and endless protection of the family and country as well. It is true that we should stress out how lucky we are…as parents to provide them best education, guidance and proper nutrition so that someday they will be our great leaders not only for the family members but also for the people around us as prolific citizens of our country.  

                                                           

We can’t deny the fact that parents must find ways and means to support them temporally and spiritually. Parents can give their children presents better than to give themselves devoting their time. As the saying goes, “If the parents were to start with proper guidance and right education of their children, they would spend more time with them." It was realized that the moments of fun and relaxation spent with family are the most precious memories of children.

To reckon with, during a family camp, an old man was sharing an experience that marked his childhood. His family was not particularly facile to do something prolific for the betterment of the family; but even worse, none of the family members in it is openly expressing love, care, value or good attitude towards him. That's why he cherished in his memory, a special event: the one where his mother who took care of him after the entire afternoon to make him a straw robot. This testimony of simple affection had enriched more than a lot of money that would have done to anyone.

A merchant asked his pal: "Do you know what I'm going to give my son for Christmas?" He showed him a piece of paper on which he had written: "To my son, I'll hang out with you every day of the week, and we will use it as you please…" We can’t reiterate it enough to say words or potent message: parents can give their children gifts better than to give themselves devoting their time. My question is...do we have time to do it? The question is not whether we have time to do it, we always fail, but it is taking time!

In a certain family, individual activities are as important as those who performed in groups. Parents should provide from time to time in each of their children the opportunity to spend time alone with them. Children will enjoy a lot having for a while “dad or mom” just for them. One day or more of being together at all times, the whole family is very delighted to go to the zoo or place where there is tranquility or fresh air everywhere flashing unto their countenances—free from pollution.

We anticipate more of the reactions on behalf of our children. In fact, before they were going to sleep, one of the boys told his parents: "We really had a wonderful day together...pointing directly to dad and mom..." The happy parents could not refuse, but agree to have spent the day with their children. In a family, of course, nothing can replace such wonderful time together and special moments with the children. For the children, it is a sense of security, understanding, and love that they can get from their parents emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually—all rolled into one. A very deep bond or strong relationship develops between parents and children.

A number of medical practitioners, especially those people who worked among the orphans of World War II have realized one thing: “Children who were recovering without too much trouble were precisely those who remembered spending quality time with family.” Again, to reiterate, people who worked among the orphans of World War II have realized one thing: “Children who were recovering without too much trouble were precisely those who remembered spending quality time with family.”

To give emphasis to the importance of family, people who worked among the orphans have realized one thing: “Children who were recovering without too much trouble were precisely those who remembered spending quality time with family.” … that means spending quality time together as a family, it is just like taking time for each other to discuss around a table, to help each other for the realization of a project, and perhaps to play a game that everyone can participate. As they popularly and correctly say, “A family that prays together stays together.”

Finally, it is a big role of the parents to rear their children so much and unconditionally love them in order to be productive citizens someday. It is in this positive situation that parents can give the best support to their children to do something great for the country. It is their responsibility to reach out in terms of temporal and spiritual things; most importantly, their education caters to the success of the family and country as well.

A Child is Naive: A Call for Education, Protection and Moral Guidance

"In the past, children were all too often viewed more as property than people. Many victories for children's rights have been won in the last 100 years, such as child labor laws, protecting children from having to work long hours in unsafe conditions; public education, allowing all children to have access to learning; and laws preventing child abuse. But there is still much to do in protecting children's rights around the world." -- Robert Alan

A child is naive…a world that is slowly deteriorating caused by man's selfish desire for power, fame and wealth is unknown to her.

But a child has the tendency to imitate what she sees and hears whether it is good or bad. She has the tendency to ask questions in which if not answered correctly will lead her to a life of jeopardy.

It is our responsibility therefore to provide her with the right answers to her questions and set her a good example if we want her to inherit a good heritage.

How we train her today will determine the kind of society she will live tomorrow.
