A Parent Child Relationship
That Will Last

The parent-child relationship can be one of the most precious bonds you will ever form. Whether you parent or grandparent children, teach children, baby-sit children, or just know some children, you are in a position to make a lasting impact on those who are in the formation stages of their lives.

The country group, Lonestar, sings a touching song titled “Let Them Be Little.” Some lines from that song:

Let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while,
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day,
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle;
Oh just let them be little…….

Keep Your Love Alive
While Raising children

Resolve the differences you have as parents either on your own or with professional help. This will help you become a parenting team rather than competitors.

Parents have a special motivation to maintain a healthy relationship with their spouse. Burnout and anger take their toll on both parents and their children. Become each other’s cheerleader so the children hear from Dad what is so great about Mom and hear from Mom what is so special about Dad. A healthy relationship between parent and child is greatly enhanced when their parents love each other.

Protect The Children in Your Life

Whether you are a parent, grandparent, teacher, caregiver or neighbor, the first responsibility we all have to the children in our lives is their safety and security. First, children must be safe both physically and emotionally in their own home and in the home of any other caregiver. They must be taught how to be safe at school, at play and in the company of others. For a child to grow up to experience healthy adult relationships, she must learn from the adults in her life.

Enjoy the Children in Your Life.

Cleaning and scrubbing can wait 'til tomorrow,
For babies grow up, we've learned to our sorrow.

So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep,
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.
