Loving My Child
One of the first thing I do when I get back from work is to kiss my wife and hug my child. Always. It’s a tradition that started with Dad because he used to be away, a lot. I remembered I was so happy to finally see him coming home from business trips, that I would run and hug him. I didn’t know exactly how it felt until my child does the same for me.
Children needs love. Lots of it! My daughter certainly couldn’t get enough of it. I have to give her everything, from attention, compliments, and love. She needs to know that I love her. By hugging and kissing her, it’s the least I can do.
It’s also easier to discipline my child with love. In every disciplinary action, there’s always a purpose: To protect, out of love. She will know my expectations.
There are times when she will stumble. As parents, we’ll be there to pick her back up. I’ll never give up on her because I love her!
Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from Him.
