Parents have a duty not to only Care for their words(children) but to also guide,direct and TEACH them some basic and important things that could be a bedrock for which they build and grow themselves.
There's no doubt that parenthood is not about giving birth,no, it doesn't lie in the conception but rather on nurturing of the child.
How you raise your child matters a great deal and always one way to properly raise the child in a God fearing way and in a way in which he or she will grow to become a thing of joy is through teaching him or her that for every action,everything he or she does,there's always a follow up consequences.
Some people think they can just do anything and get away with it,I is not so because ever good deeds attracts good reward and any bad act,sure do have a repercussions.
As a child grows to become and adult that he or she can reason out and take good decisions depends greatly on how well that person was raised.
One who just do anything he or she likes without getting the needed scolding from the parent or the elderly neighbors, siblings and relations comes will come yo term life as being a bed of roses.
But a child that from childhood was well taught and properly raised will always make the difference at least a greater percentage of them.
Don't just be an elder or a parent without imbibing and instilling in the child some good morals especially pertaining to areas of action,what he or she is to do,or not to do.
how to do it,and do it well.
