It’s More than Just Growing

There are a lot of parent who have the view that children grow up whether anybody looks after them or not, though they do but tell me what type of adult do such children become thereafter? They become a shame to their parent, nuisance to the community and the society at large, they are the prostitutes we see all about in our streets, vandals, hoodlums, hooligans, street boys and the likes, and if any should die in such a condition he spent the rest of his life eternally in hell. As a good parent you are expected to train up your child in a responsible way so that he can become a responsible person in the later future. God himself will not spare any parent who neglects the training of his or her children.

Parents who want their children to be responsible ones should be available and active for them and the work of child training must commence right from the time they were given birth to, you are expected to feed them with balance diet, show love and affection to them, bath and cloth them appropriately and try to attend to all their needs, you’re to labor laboriously in order to ensure an all round development for your child.

In the training of your child don’t just play the role of a nurse, also be a teacher, counsellor and a guide, teach him the virtues of love, temperance, respect for others, patience, orderliness, comportment, self-control and also self-denial, when the child starts growing up accrue him responsibilities that is appropriate for his or her age while you monitor, instruct, and correct him when necessary.

One very important aspect you have to instill in your child is the fear for God, this is of utmost importance, tell him in a clear language that children needs the savior for them to be free from the curse of this world and to avoid eternal damnation in hell fire, prove to him the way of life by living an exemplary life and you must also maintain a close relationship with God Almighty because this is the basic requirement you need to be a good parent and to have a good mother’s heart.

It’s in Your Hand

You as a parent must do all what it take to bring up your child in a Godly way; majority of the evils prevalent in our society today is as result of poor handling and upbringing of the children by their parent.

The behavior and the way of life of children of nowadays is nothing to write home about, what is actually the major cause of our children who walk away half-naked on our streets today, the rudeness and the incorrigible lifestyle adopted by our children today are as a result of what? They have lost all sense of decency and respectability. All these actually emerge from our various homes. All these are borne as a result of poor training of the children by their parent and we can even see some parent indulging in such practices. The blind cannot lead the blind, it is not possible.

For some years back things were not as it is now, children dare not behave un-seemingly before the eyes of their parent let alone to imitate the culture of nudity that has become the trend in our society today.

You may be thinking that things has change, we are now living in a modernize world, you guess right! But tell me, is that not why we are experiencing the various forms of atrocity and the different levels and categories abomination prevalent in our society today.

Modernism and the ways children are brought up today has done more good than harm, as a result many parent are being sent to their graves by their own children. They are uncontrollable and they have no respect at all for their parent.

Things have really fallen apart. I must confess. But things can still be change for the better, parent must do all things possible to get themselves enlisted in this army of change. We must do all things possible to bring up our children rightfully and the work must start within our immediate family circle and then the larger society will be ultimately changed for the better.
