HANG IN THERE, PARENTS
Someone once said that life is like giving
a violin concert in public, and learning to
play it as you go. Actually, that sounds a
lot like raising children.
It seems that being a good parent is
becoming more and more difficult these
days. Of course, it’s never been all that
easy. For one thing, babies come into the
world with no instructions, and you pretty
much have to assemble them on your own.
They are also maddeningly complex, and
there are no guaranteed formulas that
work in every instance. The techniques
that succeed with one child can fail miserably
with another.
I bring this up because if you’re struggling
along today, trying to raise your
children but meeting with frustration and
hardships I say: Welcome to the club.
The world of parenting is come as you
are; learn as you go; and keep your chin up.
To those mothers and fathers who try their
best to tenderly guide their children through
the rough waters of childhood and love them
the best they can, I say: Give yourself a welldeserved pat on the back.
Remember, there’s no such thing as a
perfect parent or perfect kids. But your
love, care and commitment will make you
the best parent your children will ever have
