Parent to Child
"There are three things a child can teach an adult: To be happy for no reason; To be always busy doing something; And to know how to demand - with all one's might - what one wants." - Paulo Coelho
As a parent, one of the hardest things in life is to let your children learn life's lessons on their own. But, it's a miracle and blessing to watch them grow up to be such wonderful, vivacious human beings. Observing their unique mannerisms, hearing their independent opinions and watching them at play is priceless. We pray that they take heed to all the values and morales we've instilled in them as they embark on their own journey and experiences, making the right decisions, and knowing that in the end you will be there to love and guide them. We can't fight their battles but can be there should they fall, to nurture and help them find their way once again.
It's a known fact that parenting isn't easy and many times we learn through trial and error. There is no magic wand, special potion or snap of the fingers that can enable us to be "perfect" parents or give us "perfect" children. The reality is, we do the best we can and hope in the end our best is good enough. If not, be open to seek alternative resources to help and guide you.
Continue to praise, respect, laugh and cry with them, teach and mentor them, and love them unconditionally. Parenting is a privilege, not a right - so enjoy each and every precious moment as they don't stay little forever.
