A family is always a strong bond between family members. From our parents, we learn how to walk, talk, play, laugh, express, learn many things from the start of life! Parenting is an inbuilt quality in all of us that we have naturally inherited. In every home, family is the learning ground for future parenting.
Now, coming to the question as to whether parenting classes are a must or a fad? I would say it is not necessary or a compulsion. From our past experience and opinions and advice from elders and well-wishers, every parent can become good and caring parents. There are various books sold at bookstores to help would-be parents to do well in nurturing in their initial days.
Advice from doctors, regular doctor visits, advice from friends, and going through various websites will definitely go a long way in bringing up a child in this world. Buying essential baby items, taking care of baby hygiene, and minute details regarding baby care have to be looked into by “would-be parents” before bringing their child into this world.
However, if they get to go to parenting classes, it will be like a feather in their cap. But, if they are busy and unable to take out the time, timely advice and the right source for reading books will help. If parents find weekend parenting classes to learn about “Everything under the umbrella regarding parenting,” it would surely be a golden opportunity for them.
Would-be parents can recall their childhood days when they are about to bring a child into this world. The Parents of “Would – be” parents can guide them in every step they take towards parenting their little ones.
Bringing a little one into this world is a big responsibility on both the parents’ shoulders. At every step they should seek advice from the right people to guide them thoroughly. With proper support, love, warmth, and guidance, their efforts will definitely be successful in bringing a little one into this world .
Would-be parents should discuss among themselves the necessities for upbringing a child as responsible parents. They should always be in harmony with each other and cooperate with each eachother at every stage of their baby’s life. They should set an example for their baby on parenting so that the baby walks in their footsteps later on!
When parents, they should take turns regarding changing diapers, feeding, making the baby sleep, singing lullabies, telling stories, etc. Both parents should be strong and develop a loving bond among themselves and the entire family. Good habits of prayer, respect, truth, and honesty should be taught to the baby .
Every little step taken from childhood to old age is like a memory that will always remain with their children lifelong. All along life’s journey, good memories of laughter, joy, and happiness should be inculcated to keep the rhythm of parenting and family bonding alive !
Parenting, A Natural God Given Quality
Parenting is an inbuilt God’s given natural quality
in all of us that brings harmony
Gives the child a feeling of warmth and safety
in the parents’ arms and their vicinity
Proper planning to bring the baby
should be taken appropriately
with guidance from doctors and family
and doing things that are necessary
Taking the right steps carefully
With proper advice from books willfully
Not carrying things, heavy
to nurturing by feeding milk successfully
To changing diapers, and clothes timely
to singing sweet lullabies
A baby is responsibility
Parents are a living legacy
Parents should set an example
Love their children, ample
Teach them the necessary principles
of respect, prayer, and a forever loving bond to fill!
