Children are a Gift from God? According to the scripture, Psalm 127:3-4 “Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands”. Children are blessing from God.
Children are also a blessing because they can be a great support to their parents! If you teach them how to have respect, fear, and love for you, their authority, they will want the best for you. They will support your dreams, goals, and ambitions; this can also be good motivation.
Children bless us by the lessons they indirectly teach us: having childlike faith and a willingness to learn. Children are quick to believe simply because they don’t know to not have faith. They come into this world ready to learn and soak up what we teach them. It’s not until they grow older when they naturally begin to worry. Having fears, doubts, and second guesses comes with unfavourable experiences. So, if you have a child who has lived a good life so far, it’s easy for them to believe the positive because, chances are, that’s what they know at such a young age.
Having a big age gap between siblings can be incredible if your child has a helpful personality. They can fetch diapers, or maybe even change diapers depending on the gap, they can prepare bottles, they can play with the little one so you can take a shower, and maybe get the baby dressed and ready for the day. A larger age gap can also cause siblings to have more of a parent-child relationship, especially in the early years. While this may not both the older sibling too much, as the younger sibling gets older it could feel like they have a whole bunch of parents ganging up on them all the time, instead of just the average two.
Having two children is the perfect recipe for chaos. More so, when they have age-gap. The demands and needs change over time and while everything is exciting for the younger one; the older one starts having differences. Let's see how our Parent of the Day: Mrs. Manisha Verma deals with this.
