Quotes

“Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built.”
–Dr. James C. Dobson

Children are a lot of work. We provide them with shelter, food, clothing, and other essentials, but there is so much more to it. Showing our children love and affection every day is so important to their well-being and confidence. This isn’t to say that we need to spoil our children - for me, sometimes the best form of love is discipline.

For me, one of the hardest things as a parent is giving my kid the right foundation of values. There is the world that we want to live in, and reality. I want to teach my kid to be kind, but also not be taken advantage of. I want to teach him to love everyone, but to realize that there are some people that you need to be very careful of. These are the things that I grapple with on a daily basis.

He can always be sure that his parents will love him unconditionally though!
