Encouragement From Parents Is Never Wasted

If we do not plant the seeds of knowledge in our children, they will have no shade when they grow older.

Listen to your children for what they say, not what you think they say.
They are changing rapidly and you should be open to their new thoughts and ideas.

Humiliation is the greatest threat to the child / parent bond.
‘I told you so’, or ‘Why can’t you just grow up?’ may seem like mild expressions of exasperation, but they can chill your young adult child to the bone.

Encouragement from parents is never wasted.
‘You’re not a disappointment. I know this is a difficult phase, but you will find your feet’, will uplift a flounderer, whether they acknowledge it at the time or not.

The sound of laughter from a small child is God’s way of bringing a smile to the sad and the lonely.
