Parent-Child Relationship

What is this all about?

Parenting is all about love

But so is the Parent-Child relationship

It too is about love

Relationship comes from two Latin words

That identify “a carrying back and forth”

“ A communication of love”

Relationship is a giving of love

That’s the purpose of parenting

Loving one’s child

And what is the goal of the parent-child relationship?

It’s a profession of love of the parent for their child

And  the child’s statement of love for their parent

What a beautiful relationship that can become!

Parent-Child relationship

Parent loving child

Child loving parent

Love!

That’s what it’s all about

What’s Parenting All About?

That’s a simple question.

It’s all about love--

Caring for the wellbeing of your child.

That’s what parent love is about.

That’s the task you have chosen and must pursue,

If you are to be successful in your parenting.

Parenting

It’s about giving to another--

To the well-being of a child.

It’s a responsibility,

But it’s also a privilege

That you have been given by God.

Do your best parenting,

That’s all you can do.

Recognize it will require much love,

But love that’s given is always returned in some way.

How beautiful it can be,

To love and be loved by a child.

Parenting

Affords us the opportunity

To grow as a human being,

To put aside selfishness

And learn how to love a child,

As well as to make the world a better place

Tuesday

Child and Parent Day

Be a Parent, Not a Buddy

Buddies are a dime a dozen

Parents

They’re a rare breed

They’re one of a kind

Even a step-parent needs to act as a parent

Parents and step-parents are not buddies

Parents are guides

Their job is to teach their child

That is their responsibility

Parents are the leaders of the family

Their  job is to lovingly teach their child

How to be a good person

Buddies

They don’t raise families

They’re our peers

They can’t teach like parents

If you want to teach your child

Act like a parent, be a parent

Parents

Have the responsibility

To lovingly teach their child

Their task is not only to teach by word of mouth

But by their example

Both you and your child have much to learn

A child is special, so is their parent

Another Happiness Day

Model Happiness

As parents, this is your task

If you want your child to be happy

You must teach her how to be happy

You must show him what happiness looks like

It’s a beautiful sight

Don’t teach her to worry about your unhappiness

You deserve happiness

As well as they

Teach Happiness

It comes from doing all the right things

From being loved and valued and respected

And your children learning to do the same for others

It’s about being kind, generous and understanding

And your children learning to do that too

It’s about teaching the virtues of human life

To enable your children to learn the meaning

Of true happiness

Value happiness

Your children won’t value it

If you don’t show it

Nor will they learn it

If you don’t show it

So where and how will they learn it?

It’s your task to teach them

If you don’t

They may choose the wrong people to do so
