You hear your child cry. You run to her. You see a tiny wound on her hand. You hold her tightly to your bosom. You feel sad that your child has hurt herself. You give a love filled sweet kiss on her wound and promise that it is going to be alright.
But where will you kiss, to heal the wound you have made in her tiny heart? Are you surprised, perplexed? Don’t think twice. You… only you are responsible for your child’s little disturbances. Because as a parent you are responsible for your child and your child’s emotions.Have you ever tried to understand the pangs of her heart, however small they seem to you? Have you ever tried to wipe out her silent tears, when she hears somebody calling her a darkie, a fatty, a useless thing, a good for nothing, a fighter cock? Do you think these are all trivial things? Think, think from her point of view. Yes, for you and me these are silly simple things. But for your child these are very serious issues which can change the very pattern of her life itself. At this stage her mind is just like a ball of soft clay. You can mould it into any beautiful shape or you can just leave it open to all the atrocoties of life and let it get dried to a lump or a mass with cracks. What is your choice? Yes it is your choice. Bring up a child. is what every parent do. But bringing up a child, retaining all the beauties of her mind, making her cherish each and every single moment of her childhood safely and preciously without any scar, is an oppurtunity that only blessed parents get. It needs real guts to bring up a child, and even more guts to bring her or him up to a beautiful individual. Snatch the opportunity to become a good parent, a good friend and a good guide to youe child at every given chance. Give her or him the freedom to point out that, “ No Mama you are wrong”. Give him/her the strong support from outside to fight and face the world with the strength from within. Give him/her a chance to open up, let the bud bloom in to a flower. Listen patiently to all silly nuances they need to share with you. Remember these so called silly nuances matter a lot to them. As they grow up and as they get ready to leave the safety and warmth of our wings give them a chance to reminicise their life with us, only with those happy moments shared with you. Love them unconditionally; give them a chance to love you unconditionally. For only unconditional love can purify and freshen each single cell in your body and your child’s body making an unconditional bondage between you and your precious treasure.
