Parents
Written by: Danielle Hollister ~ Web Site: www.bellaonline.com
The Greatest Gifts in Life,
which are always created for free, but never come with instructional
guide, are your children. The following suggestions may
help any new parents feeling blessed by the birth of their
first baby, but also feeling overwhelmed by this wondrous
experience.
1 - You cannot love, hug, kiss, cuddle, or hold your newborn
too much. He needs your affection to feel safe in a world
that’s all new to him.
2 - This tiny person is totally
dependent on you for everything in his life. He cannot survive
without you.
3 - Establish a routine. Your
baby needs to be able to count on certain activities occurring
around the same time each day. Feeding, naps, fun and affection
should be a part of every
schedule.
4 - Sleepless nights may seem
never-ending as your newborn awakens you with his cries.
But time will fly by and your baby won’t be a baby
for long. Treasure each moment of this experience.
5 - Nobody can teach you how
to be a parent. You will learn on the job. Trust your instincts.
Nobody knows your baby better than you.
6 - Being a parent will be
the most challenging and most rewarding experience of your
life. Cherish every day with your child.
7 - A child is not a possession
or a toy or someone to take for granted. A baby is a blessing.
8 - Respect your child’s
father or mother whether you’re still married to them
or not. Your baby will remember how you treat each other.
Children learn by example.
9 - Being a parent is at minimum
an 18 year commitment. You can’t quit halfway through.
10 - Your life will never be
the same. Respect the value of this little miracle and remember
he will always be a part of you. Nothing in the world should
compete with your commitment to love your child.
