Better Parenthood

I met somebody just for 20 minutes yesterday, a total stranger🤔 but she said something that made sense, something that I couldn't figure out about myself or "in denial"🤷🏾‍♂️. Something about life🍃, love❤️, family👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 and people something that got me thinking🤔. She said "We are always broken, chasing people, craving for love and sex, material staff to make us happy. But what we really need is somebody to talk to, somebody to share with those deeper emotions, somebody to laugh with, somebody to tell how your day was, somebody who just accepts you for who you are. But what do we do❓We hide in all of those needs and wants as a way of compensation for all of that. Who is to blame❓🤔...

Have you ever wondered 'who' is really to blame for all of that or let me say 'What?'. The answer is just right in front of you. 'Family or Parent'(Father figure for girls and mother figure for boys). Our families play a very pivotal role in our lives. Girls need their fathers as they grow same applies for boys. Bad relationships, and all those needs and wants affect a child's whole life into their adulthood. It affects decision making, choices in life. Early socialisation is very important in children's lives. Don't be damned when you find your child lost and in a situation that is compromising. Before you judge ask yourself where you went wrong...

Get time with your children, talk to them, laugh with them before they are even in their youths, be involved as a parent. You must be your childs best friend and should know almost everything in their lives. As a father take your children out on dates, especially the girl child. Buy her gifts. Dine with her, buy her flowers🌹, buy her those so famous 'VALENTINE GIFTS🎁'. Be her first love. Take your boy child out as well. Jogs, play games with your kid, go fishing if you can, play ball⚽ or any sport. In the process you get to know what's happening in your child's life. Be so much involved. It's not always giving your children money that blows their minds🙄. But your time and involvement...

So as parents let's play our parts and roles. Let's build our children's lives the proper way so that we don't regret in the end. You should be in a position of not being able to answer that question. "Where did I go wrong?" when your child messes up because you definitely would have tried.
