WHAT DO YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR KIDS?
I’ve read this question in a parenting forum. It was so successful in catching my attention, but I thought I would just post my answer here in my blog. The question made me pause for a long while to ponder on the things I really want to give my kids. And I also want to share this with a friend who just gave us some wedding invitations.
As a parent, the list is just incessant when it comes to the things I want to endow my kids with. I want to give them everything that will provide them the opportunity and avenue for holistic growth.
It is my greatest vow to give them a complete family. Personally, I believe that putting up a strong foundation of a family helps children build their self-esteem.
Another thing I want to give them is a very colorful childhood which will define a part of them as they mature. There are just so many things to see, many places to visit, many people to meet. The whole world is just so wonderful to explore! I want them to see the beauty in all God’s creations.
Part of providing them a childhood full of pleasant memories is giving them a home where they can make all these memories. This house will witness all the important events in our lives and all the milestones in my kids’ development. This part, though, is still a work in progress. We do not have a house of our own. Sadly, we don’t have enough money to buy our own yet. We’re still looking for some companies offering a good deal when it comes to home equity loans and home equity line of credit.
