How Parenting Could Be Fun Regarding Positive Parenting of Children in Formative Years.

Image

Parenting, though a very serious business, has a lot of fun attached to it. Come to think of it, every married couple feels a kind of vacuum within a few months after marriage if there is delay in conception by the woman.

Inherent in the feeling of loss is the unvoiced expectation of a baby to cuddle, breastfeed and bond with to gratify the gaping yawn for motherhood, which is mistaken for parenting. When a baby does arrive, the joy in the mother's heart knows no bounds until the baby's cries and other unsettling activities manifest.

Young mothers need not be overwhelmed with the demanding responsibilities of child care especially with respect to parenting. Parenting derives its pleasure from a commitment to raising offspring that would turn out a blessing in the long run for the child, parents and society at large, following the obedience of parents to the demands of the creator God.

God in his infinite wisdom has given children parents for a purpose: to nurture offspring that will propagate the name of God for all times and ages. There has been dent in the lifestyle of humans since the old serpent, the devil, tempted the first man and woman to disobey God the creator. It takes the art of parenting in addition to redemption to bring man back on track of obedience from childhood. This is the real art of parenting, which is inherent with some fun in the final analysis.

Every parent or parent-to-be will do well to acquaint themselves with the parenting tips canvassed on this blog site cncejiofor.blogspot.com which help to ease of the normal tensions experienced by parents during a child's formative years.

An intentional application of these parenting tips provide occasions that bring much surprise and satisfaction to those who succeed with the application of those ideas.
In fact, it often makes for fun when a parent experiences the magical effect of giving positive instructions to a child and insisting on their obedience by following through them. This fun comes as the parent contrasts this positive result with the usual effect of negative instructions when a child resists negative instructions owing to natural bent.
My grandchild's visit with his mom recently provided me the privilege of revisiting the same ideas I used in guiding the mom, who in turn, now applies the same together with us grandparents. The excitement is still lingering in my mind and is the reason for updating this particular article on this site.

With this understanding of the purpose of parenting, each parent can find fun in reciprocating the love of God through conditioning each child for a life of obedience to the creator God. God is pleased with such a parent and provides them opportunities to enjoy the art of parenting and not to see it as a burden and hence neglect it. 

The man can find pleasure in the fact that he has been enabled to fend for the wife and thus for the child when he provided food for the mother who breastfed the baby.

Applied Parenting Tips For Positive Parenting of Children in Formative Years.

Positive parenting is godly parenting.  God has a purpose and plan for the family. God is sovereign in that the book of Genesis , the record of the beginnings, has it that "In the beginning God..." We read this in Genesis 1:1 .  This speaks to the fact that life is all about God. It is clear that apart from God there is nothing else. No God, no beginning; no creation. It is that simple. We must understand this as it also speaks to the fact that God assumes sole ownership - patent right, over all creation. Hence, God dictates and decrees the way. We read in Genesis 18:17-19 , the demands of God as he apparently boasted about his friend Abraham . That he was fully aware that Abraham would unfailingly direct his children and household after him to follow God's way by obeying all his commands. God was confident that Abraham would be a role model in children's proper upbringing. We thus realise that God's purpose and plan for the family is that the name of God should b...

What Are The Things To Condition A Child For In Positive Parenting of Children In Formative Years?

Teaching is the art of communicating with a person with the view of imparting knowledge of relevant concepts, precepts, ideas and attitudes in order to encourage behavioral changes in the recipient. Now, parents happen to be the primary teachers of children in this case. Hence, it is important to teach the teachers of our children what to aim at imparting in the young developing minds. In this instance, the word teaching as it applies to children in formative years actually refers to Conditioning. There is a concept by earlier psychologists that the child's mind is like a clean slate ( tabla-rasa ) and teachers are at liberty to write whatever they wanted to impart on the child's mind so as to achieve some expected results. On the surface, this theory appears attractive and has succeeded in catching the attention of earlier teachers too. But a very close look at the theory may reveal otherwise, unless the child had been designed as a robot by the creator, which, however, is no...

Understanding the Dynamics of Child Growth and Development in Formative Years.

Child Growth and Development fall into a specialist area of psychology and one of the family life education books referred to in my course of preparatory studies for marriage, by Allan Petersen J., The Marriage Affair , devoted a voluminous chapter to the issue of how the child develops with respect to age and necessary character traits and behavioral patterns to expect and hence properly manage in order to achieve positive behaviors and characters in contrast to the natural bent based on proven research and informed experience. Natural bent refers to the tendency of the individual to do things the wrong way unless a corrective or disciplinary measure is applied to stop or minimize the unapproved behavior, character or action. Parents who allow their children to grow with such traits with the hope that they will drop them later in life when they become conscious of what is good or bad live to regret their failures or develop defense mechanisms to cover their ignorance of th...

Proven Ways To Condition A Child For Obedience And Associated Positive Character Traits In Formative Years.

The basic way to teach a child is by doing. A child cannot learn what he cannot do. Hence, the importance of having a good knowledge of child development and growth for each parent or prospective parent should be emphasized. Instructions are not, however, ruled out completely only that the child should be guided by the proper conduct of the instructor, the parents. For instance, a lazy parent cannot expect to teach a child hard work without incident. Yet a hard working parent can only expect that their child would learn the trait without much ado and rightly so. Barring any external influence, a hard working parent can easily groom a hard working child. Only the positive character trait should be presented to the child for emulation . Only positive instructions should be given to a child. That is, tell the child what they should do and not what they should not do. Say, "do this," "do that," and not, "don't do this," "don't do that." Neg...
