Parenting, in other words, is raising humans. It cannot be an under-performing job. More than a job, it is an obligation or duty for betterment of mankind, on a larger scale.
In my younger days, I am part of raising several domestic animals. They get matured in no time. They cannot exercise their thinking power like we do. Humans are more complicated.
Not all-wise people raised a wise person. It can be challenging yet enjoyable. Challenging, in some way that, raising a human with right values among the hugely distorted world of values, could be disheartening. Enjoyable, as we are raising our own young ones to secure a good future for us and for them.
One day, our young ones will become young adult, young leader, and succeeded the world we left behind. If we FAILED to deliver at our job, we would witness chaos in every sphere of life. Should we live long, we will suffer along with them witnessing humankind denigrating.
If I raise a good human it implies I have a bright future ahead, despite the tumultuous world. The same way, if ‘we’ raise a good human then ‘our’ future is bright, as a whole. There is no empirical formula for raising human, and I knew it too.
There is hope since we have time with us. Moreover, the Almighty Father would find worthy soul, if enough, to spare them. Yet majority would already suffered by that time.
When I started as a Stay-at-Home-Dad, I have huge hope that it would be enjoyable since I will be spending all my time with my loved ones. In that way, it is enjoyable. But my work, my job of being with them carries a huge obligation for the future of us.
Blessed in a way, I have gone through several books on parenting before I got mine. Experience of successful parents, kept in mind I started. Books, written by experts and family enthusiasts become handy in raising them.
However, one can never be a perfect parent that too I had learned, in this short span of time.
Studying psychology of children with simply giving the required Input can never be enough in reality. Humans cannot be programmed. There are insurmountable cells inside the human body, which could not be simply tamed. Humans are created in the likeness of our God, but the Creator being Superior, remember that.
It is important to stick to one side in inculcating ‘Values’. Right and wrong: we should be able to say what is wrong as wrong, not compromised, as with right values. That means we should have our standing ground firm and bold. If failed, family values, faith values would keep depreciating day by day.
Should the values keep on depreciating, our world would be heading into a catastrophic situation. Look around the present world and its leaders; do you think they possessed real moral values? They too had their parents. However, most of them tend to downgrade the moral values as a whole.
Challenges are in abundant. But with God, He can multiply our little efforts in thousands. With humans growing in large-scale, evil did grow too. Complete safeguarding is in the hands of the Lord.
Raising human is a task that cannot be completed without the might of God. Should we take everything into our own hand, it will not lasts long. We might give up mid-way due to too much stresses, it is a possibility. As huge as the task could get, it can get be enjoyable through the way, I repeated.
In the Garden of Eden, the Lord God kept Adam and Eve with clear instructions which must be abide by them. Satan wanted to destroy a family-the powerhouse of raising human. Some give-in some fight it out!
