There 12 Major things which Parenting us not and many Parents are equating parenting to them and are making many serious mistakes.
I want us to quickly examine them here:
1: PARENTING IS NOT A GIFT OF THE Spirit – You can’t get parenting Wisdom by laying of Hands, not at all, you need to learn it practically.
2: PARENTING EMOTIONAL – You can be a great Parent raising your Children base on the emotional outbursts, this will only make your Children your enemies, not Friends.
3: PARENTING IS NOT TRIAL BY ERROR – You can not play kites with the life of your children, you can’t try what works and what is not working to get the best out of it, not at all, that will be dangerous.
4: PARENTING IS NOT PARENTAL DUPLICATION – You can’t just duplicate what your Parents did and think that will work in the lives of your Children, sorry your Children are different from you, you can can’t raise them the way you were raised and get great results.
5: PARENTING IS NOT Bullying – Beating, battering, and bullying Children have never yielded great results, handling them with Wisdom is a better way, get wisdom
6: PARENTING IS NOT Indulging – Some parents think the best way to raise good Children is by not beating them, not correcting them but pampering them and covering their errors and mistakes. Not at all, you need to be a balanced parent, you don’t bully, you don’t indulge.
7: PARENTING IS NOT BY PROXY – You can’t delegate parenting to Nannies, Maids, Grand-Mas, Teachers, Friends etc. It is your God-given duty, you can’t afford to fail.
8: PARENTING WAS NOT BROUGHT FROM HEAVEN – You did not come with Parenting Wisdom from Heaven, you need to learn it on earth. You were not born with it, you need to consciously learn it.
9: PARENTING IS NOT BY Chance – It’s not by chance, maybe it will work, maybe not. You know you are dealing with destinies here, you need to take it seriously and get to know what will work before applying it. Someone said: If you never copy best practices, you’ll have to repeat all the mistakes yourself. If you only copy best practices, you’ll always be one step behind the leaders.” Learn the Parenting best practices and practice them for a greater result.
10: PARENTING IS NOT GAMES – Don’t play games with the lives of your children because their lives is very important. Always remember that Parenting is not a Game, be very serious about it.
11: PARENTING IS NOT BY INTUITION – You don’t just base your Parenting on what you think is right, what you think it is, what you think it should be, parenting is not by intuition, it is by Wisdom.
12: PARENTING IS NOT BY SHOUTING – You can not win your Children by shouting the way many Mothers normally do. No, stop shouting, learn how to raise children properly.
