SUCCESSFUL PARENTS
aBeing a parent is not an easy task to perform every day but know, that you have the great responsibility and a life-time privilege, to build your own flesh & blood, into an amazing person who will, in his turn, take example on your good parenting, to build the next generation (your grand children)
v I hope that sharing with you my experience as a good mom and all the steps you will have to face, as new parents, will give you the big picture on how you would like to raise your children to become.
aMy daughter is an amazing mom: she nurtures and educates my grandchildren, even better than me who was a single mom.
Because most of us are the products of our parents’ parenting:
- Bad parenting will produce broken, dysfunctional individuals.
- Good parenting will produce good citizens and good persons.
v Only, a few who have an inner strength, are resilient and despite their bad upbringing will become good citizens and good people.
So what kind of parents, do you want to impart, to your children?
We, all have a choice, to make and once, we made it:
We need to keep our decision and work on it, to make it happen, because life is not easy.
v But we can make it through, if we stay committed to our decisions with:
1. A strong determination (to raise good children.)
2. A daily commitment & conversations (with our children.)
3. And a lot of love: patience, kindness are the main qualities to become good parents.
As you can notice, we are not born good parents and there is no school for parents.
v But through the sharing of elders and these qualities anyone even, from broken families or dysfunctional families, can become a good parent.
v LOOK at this picture: how really HAPPY you will be when later, your children will grow up HAPPY because you made the good choice: to BECOME GOOD PARENTS.
It is a question of choice and determination & love, for your own flesh & blood.
v Envision your future, when you will be seating, in the midst of your children & grand children, enjoying the warmth & love of your own work, that produces this happy and loving family.
I wish you to succeed, if you take the decision, to be a good parent.
v Remember: it takes 2 persons to raise children.
So choose well your life partner.
Good parents choose to make sacrifices: of their time, their energies, their own pleasures and their finances, to grow and produce, wonderful human beings.
v Your rewards: their smiles, their love, their gratefulness, their success & happiness and the grand children, they will share with you.
Children are a blessing and they give us, real life purposes.
v Think for a moment, with me about the pursuits of one’s life:
- After, you found your professional career & success & friends
- After, you found your life-partner
- After, you own a house (and all the things you like)
- After, you have children
- Will you be happy & satisfied? I hope you are.
v But once, you have everything you aimed for:
- When you get old and strength and health are leaving you:
- Can you work? NO. - Is your life-partner around? MAY BE.
- Isn’t your house too quiet? YES.
- Will your wealth make you happy? Elderly people know the answer is NO.
Your true joy and happiness will be:
YOUR HAPPY FAMILY with your children and grandchildren.
Is it worth investing in your children and work on becoming good parents?
