My Thoughts: Hands-On Parenting


I take my hat off to parents who go the extra mile in maintaining physical proximity with their children. Activities like getting involved in school events; helping children get assignments done; or a simple lending of an ear establish an emotional and physical bond between parents and children which strengthens their closeness and intimacy. Psychologists reveal that love and attention in the family breed healthy emotional development of a child. Institutions like schools and other organizations are only there to reinforce the parents in the performance of their responsibilities. Parental love, acceptance and responsiveness still play a major role in molding future citizens.

The degree of intervention and guidance needed from parents may vary during a life span but it certainly does not cease at any given time. Parenting is a lifetime career,and conception is only the start of a nurturing and nourishing relationship.
