Parenting is the most challenging work we will ever do. It is also the second most important work we will ever undertake.
Real training is virtually non-existent in Western society and the social-economic value attributed to it is so low, that parents are encouraged to put their children into day care and get a "real" job.
It starts somewhere around conception, and goes on until death, it is a two way learning process in which, most of the time, the lessons are not called upon, and the consequences of not learning them can be harmfull to the individual, the family unit, and society as a whole.
The sharing, the bond, and the opportunity for spiritual growth are only limited by the depth of commitment and willingness to undertake and participate.
The joys and rewards are immeasurable, and leave a permanent smile on our heart as they make way for more challenges of growth.
As parents we bring to succeeding generations, the warmth, joy and a sense of belonging, a sense and experience of being loved and cared for, being roused upon and admired.
As parents it is our responsibility to pass on to our childern that somehow,
everything is going to be fine.
