Raising Children

Having children is one thing, raising them for the next twenty years or more is something completely different. Actually, when children are very small you need to take care of their daily needs – you need to feed them, dress them, change their diapers, clean up their messes, and put them to bed. As children get a little older you still have to give them daily attention by reading to them telling them stories, playing games with them, and consoling them when they get hurt. As they enter the teenage years, children need more not less, interaction with parents in a different way. Being a teenager can be a challenging time for children because they are trying to figure out who they are and their role in the family. As parents, this is a time when you help children develop independence but also make careful and wise choices about what they do and with whom they associate. Teaching strong family values from a very young age will help children develop patterns of behavior that they will need for the rest of their lives. Raising children is much harder than it looks, but with patience and hope, children and mature into very emotionally –secure adults.
