Children are special gifts from God, they comprise a large part of our lives, and everyday adults work hard to be able to provide for their children. They are the reason for the struggles parents face, yet the smile that follows when they see them blossom is special.

Parents love their children; very few parents despise their children. Children are gorgeous, beautiful, and innocent- there is no way you won’t love them, however, there are key things parents and intending parents should consider while raising their children. There is no manual for parenting, everyone goes on and on hoping they get it right but there are things every parent should or should not do while raising their kids.

Watch your spoken words

Never use derogatory words on your children; you might be subconsciously planting in them what they will model later in their lives. Do not call your children goats, cow, sheep, idiots, bastards, or any other related. The children will see themselves less, do not tell your children they are worthless, if your child is not doing as well as you want in school or other sectors of life, encourage them don’t tell them they are bad at it. Do not think less of your children rather speak to them to do better

Do not choose your children’s career

Every human on earth is unique; doctors are just as important as musicians. Do not say, My child has to be a doctor, that child might not be created to want to have anything to do with the medical line. If you force him or her, they would never excel at it.

It is advised to find out what your child is good at and encourage them to do better. Commonly asked questions include, how do I know what my child is good at?

Watch their passion, interact with their teachers at school, find out the one thing they do effortlessly, and want to identify with. As an adult talks to them about developing a career path through their passion. This achieves results and helps them grow faster. There have been cases of lawyers who turn out musicians, doctors who end up painters. Imagine if they had followed their passion abinito. You would have failed as a parent if your children follow a career path and in their adulthood they redirect and discover their passion years later. The highlight of parenting is helping your children discover their career path and walk them through it.

Do not compare or pressure

Never compare your little ones to their peers, never point out their failures in public, never underestimate their abilities, or tell them they are not good enough. Soft conversations about their growth process will go a long way. Celebrate their wins and showcase them this boosts self-esteem, show them you love them in various ways.

Feed, but do not overfeed or underfeed

There are parents who overstuff their children with goodies just to show them, love, you should never do this as a parent. Feed them but do not give them more than they require, research has shown that overfed children perform badly in school. Do not overfeed your child and do not leave them malnourished.

Teach them to love

There are so many children who were not properly taught to love, they move around hating on people who are better than them or who they feel are less than them. Teach your child to love their classmates, teach them to love everyone even those who they are less than. They should not look down on anyone, rather they should show strength and leadership. Teach them to have a voice, to stand out, to speak up even when they are the only ones standing for the truth. Teach them to be selfless, to consider people around them. Teach them through words and action, be deliberate about the character your children form.

Happy children’s day to all the African children and children all over the world, you are the future and the future is bright with you in it.
