The Dynamism of parenthood

 

Today, my child posed a question to me in the kitchen. She inquired why I was barefoot in the kitchen while consistently emphasizing to them the importance of wearing slippers in this area. I couldn't help but smile at her curiosity. In response, I retrieved my slippers and took a moment to explain the rationale behind this practice. This moment served as a reminder that parents, too, can find themselves learning valuable lessons from their children.

There is something unique about being a parent, and really desiring to be a good one. Being able to raise a good adult is one of life’ most underrated achievement. Many parents may not fully grasp the impact of their parenting until their child reaches adulthood, and it's during the child's growth and development that others begin to recognize and commend their efforts in raising a respectful and well-behaved individual.

Parents are not gods, and as humans’ mistake are bound to happen, and we grow daily also as we learn through life. There are many mistake we’ve made as a parent that it is from the sincerest place in our heart. There are many times situations happens without forewarning, we just handle it to the best of our knowledge and ability, just as car accidents happens even to the best and most experience drivers. It's important to remember that parents were once children themselves, shaped by their own experiences, traumas, privileges, deformities, strengths, and weaknesses. All of these factors influence their character, behavioral patterns, temperament, and more.

Parenthood is a dynamic and evolving experience. While parents strive to provide guidance and set positive examples for their children, they also recognize the reciprocal nature of parenting. In this journey, both parents and children are raising each other. Parents often aim to be role models for their children, hoping to impart good habits, values, and behaviors. They aspire for their children to surpass their own achievements and avoid inheriting any negative traits or habits. While shielding them from evils, sometimes there’s need expose them also, for them to understand.

Being responsible for another human life changes everything in all perspective, is either you create chaos, or Peace, and that is a lot of pressure. Forget about the bills that comes with Parenting, what exactly are you molding? Peace to the Universe, or Chaos to the Living? Evil is not born but created!
