Parenting

Parenting is protecting and preparing God's children to survive and thrive. Parents have an important role to care and love God's children who were sent to us with love. Parents are not perfect but are striving to learn line upon line what is best for each child and their family as a whole. Sometimes we experience things while raising our children so help us step back and re-evaluate how we talk, teach and show our children love and compassion. We have to understand that we as parents may do things that we regret, but if we can learn early then we will be much happier and forgiving of ourselves. 

One student made the comment that sometimes we think the game is over when it's not. She continued to say that we need to recognize that we will play the role of mother or father forever and need to continue to comprehend that we can make differences in our children lives. As we continue to watch our children grow it's important to recognize each child's strengths instead of weaknesses. We may have children that stray away from the teachings of christ but we need to have unconditional love and always speak kindly.
