Parenting from the Heart

Parenting is Gardening

The Universe blossoms in the face of a child. By bringing out the best in your

child, you bring out the best in the Universe.

Parenting is Trust

The biggest trust is being entrusted with a life. The biggest responsibility is to live

that trust throughout your life.

Parenting is a Labor of Love

The sleepless nights, the career sacrifices, the postponing of so many of your own activities. The prize of parenting comes

at a price.

Parenting is Protecting

From fire and sharp objects. From unkind eyes. From negative thoughts and cruel criticisms. From getting into deep waters. From getting

into a shallow life.

Parenting is Correcting

Gently and with love.Understanding the intent of the child

before rushing to punish pay.

Parenting is Smiling

And laughing. And making faces. Singing together. Giving and receiving hugs.

Holding the child’s hand in silence for a few moments before asking “What is

wrong, dear?” plans.

Parenting is Forgiving

Again and again. Month after month. Year after year. And yet, never failing to

correct and connect.

Parenting is Friendship

Of a lifetime. Without expecting returns of favor. With genuine sharing and caring. With friendship bands. And

heartfelt bonds.

Parenting is Being a Child

So that you can see the world from their eyes. Feel their tears, live their smiles,

and understand their dreams.

Parenting is Enjoying

Their peculiar tantrums. Tucking them in the blanket in the middle of the night.

Their helping hand with heavy luggage. And with some of life’s burdens.

Parenting is Letting Go

Opening the gates when the time has come. Showing them the way.

Being able to say “Goodbye! Wherever you go, you will always be in my heart.”
