It is never too early or late to
learn about parenting, take all the information you can as you come across it.
When most babies are born they
come with an insatiable quest for water and liquid stuff, but soon, that thirst
is either taken away or it is converted to thirst for liquid things other than
water. Scientists tell us that water is essential for a lot of things, and our
kids need it so dearly – where have we gone wrong.
I came up with this while
watching a lot of kids play around and interact at my church. I watched how
their parents react to the different things the kids do. I realised that just
because kid have the tendency to urinate a lot and also have not built up the
stamina to hold it for long periods, parents tend to control the intake of
water just to prevent having to take them to the toilet every few minutes or
have to change their diapers a lot for the younger ones.
Let’s be sure that the decisions
we make for our children are not ones that we are making simply for our
convenience or the convenience of our pockets and that even if it comes down to
that, that these decisions will not lend a helping hand to mar their future.
It is at this early age that we
embed into them the things that will most likely stay with them throughout
life. Teach them what they need now even though it might be inconvenient for
you. The Bible definitely did not tell a lie when it said – train up a child in
the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.
