Editor's Notes
- Positive parenting is a great concern in the modern world The family is the most pro family institution The modern world however is slowly eroding the role of parents
- Positive Parenting is the mission of parents Marriage and children are inseparably linked Marriage is life giving union between one man and one woman In the marriage rite, the Church asks with good reason “ will you accept children lovingly from God……… Fathering a child does not make one a parent. The role of up bringing a child include feeding, clothing, educating among others. Parenting is an added responsibility. It is a role
- Since parents have conferred life on their children, they have the original and undisputable right to educate them. This right should be in conformity with their moral and religious conviction Taking into account the cultural tradition of the family which favours the good and the dignity of the child. Parents are the first and most important educators to their children. Parents must train their children in true love . Parents need to dedicate time to listen to their children even at the rebellious stage of their growth. School is only supplemental to the home and never a substitute.
- Home has always been a natural environment for initiating a human being into good social and community responsibility Harmonious education takes place during pre-natal stage in the first years of infancy. Their positive and reassuring affection towards their children are equally important.
- Children are more important than work, entertainment and social positions Fatherhood and motherhood are great vocations to be held in high esteem
- Christian parents are the first teachers of their children. Religious and moral values should be learnt at home. As the scripture admonishes: “My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare will they give you…” Read [Proverbs 3:1-2]
- Parents to educate their children. Respond without evasion. Answers must be clear, simple and understandable and proportionate. Parents must have a sound information on the truth of love and human sexuality. Take interest in the quality of education on sexuality children are exposed to.
