Who takes your child to success?

Success of your children depends upon four groups or individuals in their lives. They are:

1. You, the parents.
2. The children’s peer group.
3. The teachers.
4. The children themselves.

All children have their parents or guardians, their friends, their teachers to thank for whatever success or failure they may experience in their lives. That is a fact.

Of all the above people, you, the parents, are the most important. As you are the ones who lay the earliest foundations for whatever growth and development, of whatever nature, that may come. Many of your children’s character, health, attitudes, habits and discipline have already been inculcated, to a certain degree, in the children by you and the children’s friends by the time they go under the influence of their teachers. Even then, you play a no lesser part. You are still the ones who are required to guide them in everything which happens all the way to maturity and beyond. So, to be a parent, the responsibility is great; but for our precious children, such responsibility is borne with love and love makes all things possible.

To carry out this responsibility well, we should arm ourselves with the appropriate knowledge, the will to implement such knowledge and the strength to complete it despite some of the storms that may disrupt our plans.

In my future posting, I will write about some of the storms that may disrupt our plans. You are invited to tell us what you know too.
