You may not know this, but I’m a father of 4. I have 2 sons, Michael and David, and 2 daughters, Christina and Catherine. Parenting is not only extremely rewarding, but it’s also an incredible learning experience.
In addition to being a father for over 30 years, I’ve also done extensive research into the art of parenting.
This is what I’ve learned…...
The most important single role of parenting is to love and nurture your children and to build in them feelings of high self-esteem and self-confidence. If you raise your children feeling terrific about themselves, if you bring them up full of eagerness to go out and take on the world, then you have fulfilled your responsibility in the highest possible sense.
1. Why Parents Don't Love Enough
There are two major reasons for the failure by parents to love their children enough. First, the parents do not love themselves. Parents with low self-esteem have great difficulty giving more love to their children than they feel for themselves. The second reason that parents dont love their children enough is they often have the mistaken notion that their children exist to fulfill their expectations.
2. Children are Not Property
The starting point of raising super kids is to realize that your children are not your property. Your children belong to themselves. They are a gift to you from high above, and a temporary gift at that
