The Love of a Child

dixie
When beginning this story , I will say I have seen first hand as to how there are differences made from one child to the next and it's just so sad how parents today and even of way back when I was young would give little Abby an extra cookie or a piece of candy and nothing of any kind to her younger sister Andie , cause she looked at the parent (s) the wrong way or wouldn't share what she had with her sister . We as parents should and need to realize that these are children that we are causing to rebel and or be very angry with us later on in life and perhaps even hate us and our sibling(s) , just because we made that mistake . The child(dren) don't understand when Mommy and Daddy take junior out to the park for an extra treat and don't take the senior one or visa versa too . Children should be our everything other than God of course to put them on that pedestal of life and help them to realize that they are important too and not just abandon them when they do or say something bad and I won't dare say they should be awarded in any no way shape or form , they (the child ) should be punished by all means but don't you think or agree that it is and would be a cruel way to punish a child is by telling him or even her well they were good today and well you were bad so we aren't going to take you anywheres cause you are just a bad child and they are not . They (junior ) hears all these things and thinks well I can do anything I want to , to them or my sister or brother or even both of them and well Mommy and Daddy will just love me anyways and they won't care what I do to him / her and I can just do anything and everything and get my way . Later on when that child is grown and out on his/her own and begin doing things that"s much ,much worse like stealing money from the home , breaking into the home for the money and even more worse things like stealing a car or other things too. The list goes on and on and may never stop just because mommy and daddy made a difference with one child over the other . It's just so senseless to treat a child like they don't matter. and don't have feelings just because they are young and might not understand now today at this moment doesn't mean that they won't ever understand or will . There will be a day that they surely will know and understand plenty . There will be resentment , anger , even hostility in their hearts that will last and or could last a lifetime . They depend on us all as parents to make things right now today while they are young and we give milk them when they when it's bottle time , when they are young and they know and understand when it's time to eat right ? or they cry when it's diaper changing time and they know when they get older about bed time and when it's school time or when it's time to get up in the morning and also nap time . They understand all that then, why don't parents then understand that they also understand when one child is getting treating different and or better than them huh ? We as parents need to take a stand together and form a bond with our child that never grows old and never dies while they are still young and growing in their little minds , cause when they are grown and matured it will be too late then to correct our mistakes with them and they will surely remember even after we as parents are gone and they will know whom loved them and whom they love now and even then and whom made them feel loved as well .Children bicker and argue over small things and we can change and or correct that so today is the day to change our patterns with our youngsters or little ones today . Now is the time to let him /her know whether it is the younger one or the older one to say to them to we love you both the same now and forever .. and one more thing to do now . GO HUG YOUR CHILD and say mommy and daddy love you both always and let them know you mean it and not just say it .!!! Also allow them to know that they can talk to either one of you about anything if they need to and know that you are there for them and care about them too they can and should talk to mommy or daddy or even both about anything and everything . They are only children once and they should also get treated as human beings , cause that's what they are .. little human beings but only for a little while . Let's be good to them while they are still young and when they are grown up and out the door and maybe even married they'll never forget that my mommy and daddy loved the same they never chose me over him/her . I could and still can talk to them about everything . They are special people . and I know they will do right by us and these grandchild(ren ) they will love them the same and also will let them know that they are special and that they are always loved . Last of all I want to add a scripture from the king James bible in the book of :FIRST JOHN 4:6-8 The scriptures reads : We are of God he that knoweth God heareth us : he that is not of God heareth not us ,.Hearby know we the spirit of truth and the spirit of error . Beloved , let us love one another : for love is of God: and everyone that loveth is born of God and knoweth God . He that loveth not knoweth not God :for God is love . That scripture applies to all of us we should love our children as we love each other God gave us these child(ren ) to love and some act like it's some sort of bad thing that they got punished for not doing and it's just the opposite we got blessed by just being allowed this /these child (ren ) so be blessed enjoy your child (dren) and let them know that they are truly loved daily .
