Hi, my name is Lola, am married to John and we are blessed with five children in thirteen years of marriage. I'll like to share with you abt serious parenting.
What is Serious Parenting?
Serious Parenting has to do with seriousness. When I say seriousness I mean seriousness. Let's start by taking a look at what the word "serious" means.
The word serious from the dictionary means "requiring thought, concentration, or application: a serious task. to be focused", . The opposite of the word serious is frivolous.
The next word we may want to consider is parenting? Parenting in my own opinion is the ability to carter for our children physically, spiritually, morally, financially, in short all round because we brought them into this world.
If we now look at serious parenting, we will see that is it that which is of importance, grave, critical, or sober calling and we cannot afford to take it for granted for the following reasons:
(1) Being a parent is a priviledge and not a right
(2) Believe it or not, we have to give an account to the creator one day concerning these gift(Children)
(3) Your input into their lives will either make or mare their lives/the society at large
(4) You have to look beyond just being called a mom or a dad
(5) Serious parenting must be total.
Do you know that if you train up a child the way to go, it is hard for him to depart from it when he grows up?
Do you also know that you have to balance up your act of parenting by being firm when you have to? Let your no be no, let your yes be yes.
When does parenting start?
Parenting starts as soon as you are pregnant. This is because you are carrying in your womb a living being that can feel, hear, respond e.t.c. In the light of this, placing your hands on the pregnancy and saying positive words over the baby in the womb is vey important.
In my next post, I'll be sharing a personal experience.
I think this is a good idea. I mean taking the parenting responsibilities we have as parent very seriously.

Lola,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind review of my site, "Christian Prayer".
I have read your posts and agree that strong pronouncements in Jesus name have a very strong and profound effect on events. God bless you and your family.
We are all one in Christ jesus.
Anty Lola, this is a very interesting education on parenting, starting from the pregnacy stage to delivery stage.
ReplyDeleteI pray that so many of our young pregnant women will be able to have the opportunity of learning from this practical pronouncement.
GOD will continue to bless u ma, as u share more of this.
Amen.
