Time is Passing Fast (Children)
Hello everybody, I was out and about recently and I saw a young mother, with a new baby. The baby is three weeks old. She was a real cutie. An older woman was admiring the baby, and of course, I had to love on the baby too. :)
I commented to the young mother to enjoy her baby because the baby will grow up very fast. It;s true parents. While it seems that your child will never grow up, time will go all too fast. My suggestion is please RELAX!! and ENJOY111 The time will fly by and then you won't have a baby, a teenager will take it's place.
Take every opportunity you have to love on your children, the right way. Too often we think loving on our children is giving them everything they want, protecting them from every pain, and overlooking blaring mistakes. That's what we call a recipe for disaster.
If you want to really love your children make them work for many of the things they want. If the child isn't responsible enough to take care of the inexpensive things you give him, he will not be responsible for the expensive things you give him.
A little pain is good. The sooner children learn that their behavior may bring unhappiness into their lives, the sooner they will become more responsible, and cooperative. That's why we correct them and attempt to teach them as small children. Small children have mostly small hurts, big children have big hurts. It's easier to suffer with them as they go through the small hurts than it is to suffer with them through the big hurts. Believe me, you will suffer as your children hurt, rather it's big or small. So let them suffer a little as they go through life.
The same philosophy holds true for mistakes. Recently, I sat in my car on a parking lot. A car pulled up next to me. A small child (about six) got out of the car and stared into my window. He hit my car. He walked past my front window peered into the back seat of my car, and then began to knock on my back window. His mother stood very close by, but ignored the misbehavior.
Who's going to correct this child? Misbehavior doesn't go away, most often it becomes worse. Overlooking mistakes, blaming others, and allowing your children to give excuses instead of making them accountable only makes them more susceptible to those big hurts mentioned earlier.
So go ahead love on your children, but love them the right way! Share with me the ways that you are loving on your children.
