The greatest gift you can give your child is to be the best parent you can be. Show them love, care and reprimand them when necessary. When children have good examples as parents or caregivers, it boosts their morale and self confidence. It then becomes difficult for them to allow others to treat them shabbily all in the name of love. It drives toxicity far away from them.
Because they have seen how love truly feels like. They have seen what giving truly means. They tend to grow up as stable and self sufficient adults. Being a parent is not just about bringing forth a child into the world. It is not just about paying school fees or just to say “I’m also a parent now”. It is way more than that.
We complain about the men out there, but I’ve realized that a lot of the type of men being complained about, are the way they are because of how they were raised. We complain about some type of women out there, but it is obvious that the way they were brought up has contributed significantly.
Are you raising women that would allow themselves to be a walkover all in the name of marriage? Are you raising sons that think that because of their gender, they have a special place and should not do any chores but should be waited upon? Are you teaching your daughters how to be the ‘perfect wives’ but neglecting the boys? Are your daughters slaving away in the kitchen while the boys are playing PS5? I assure you….give us a few years time and we’re back to where we are right now.
Don’t bring children into this world intentionally if you’re not ready to be responsible for them. That is a very selfish thing to do. Parenting is not just by mouth. It is by doing, showing and being deliberate. It is by letting them know that even when they miss their way, you’re there for them and you have their back. It is by letting them know that life is not just a jolly good ride, but filled with ups and downs, highs and lows. It is by showing them love and care and reprimanding them when necessary. It is by letting them know how important commitment, dedication, integrity and consistency is in life. The adult I have become….I owe to my God and my parents. For which….I am eternally grateful.
