Parenting

Parenting is hard. 

It doesn't come with a manual, instructions, or "What to do if _____" scenarios. It's made up largely of hit-and-miss, and learn as you go opportunities. 

Children look to adults as their examples, and depending on how they are raised will determine what type of adults they will become. 

That's a lot of pressure! 

But breaking it down can make it a lot easier.. 

When you think about it, in order to be a functioning adult, a child will need to learn a few things first. 

Parents need to teach: 
                -How a child can contribute to society

                -Responsibility

                -How the child can appropriately assert themself in various situations

                -The ability to forgive others and also how to seek forgiveness

                -How to take healthy breaks and get back to work/task

If you think about it, those five things are what make up almost all of our daily interactions and daily tasks. To be able to successfully cope with those things, an adult can adapt well, and can succeed in their daily activities. 

Will there be moments of error? Of course! But there will also be plenty of moments of success.
