Be careful how you love your child, love them not to death!

A child is a promise of continuity of a people. Children have to be cared for and loved. In fact in the Christian circles those who love God are called the children of God. Israel was called the children of God, or should one say in the Hebrew Scriptures they are called “The children of God.” As God’s children they were led, nourished and protected by God. This is what God requires of us.

There are many things happening to our children, things that we would have hardly coped with as children. There are things that are happening to our children because as parents we are not taking responsibility for the wellness and dignity of our children. Some of the bad things that our children go through are a result of abdication of responsibilities by parents. By parents I mean the community, those old enough to parents.
